Emmerdale actress Georgia Jay has reportedly decided not to return to the ITV soap after less than two years on the show. The actress, who played Steph Miligan, has been on maternity leave since last year after welcoming her first child.
According to reports, Jay has chosen to focus on motherhood rather than return to the demanding filming schedule. A source told The Sun: 'Georgia loved her time at Emmerdale but she has no plans to return now. She’s loving being a mum and that’s her focus for now.'
Fans have expressed disappointment online, with one writing: 'The wonderful Georgia Jay has quit and will not be returning after her maternity leave :( absolutely devastated but so thankful for everything Steph Miligan & Georgia gave us.'
The Mirror has contacted Emmerdale for comment. The news follows reports that another actress, Olivia Bromley, who played Dawn Taylor, has been written out of the show after eight years.
