Emmerdale star Amy Walsh has left fans in tears after paying an emotional tribute to her co-star Jurell Carter following his on-screen death as Nate Robinson. After the heartbreaking funeral episode, Amy shared sweet behind-the-scenes photos and shared just how much Jurell will be missed by the cast.

“Gone but never forgotten” — but could this be the most emotional farewell yet? 😢

It’s an emotional farewell for Emmerdale fans as Amy Walsh, known for playing Tracy Metcalfe, shared a heartfelt tribute to her co-star Jurell Carter, who portrayed Nate Robinson. After a dramatic and emotional episode marking Nate’s tragic death, Amy took to Instagram to reflect on their time together and the powerful journey their characters shared.

Nate’s death has been a key moment for the Emmerdale series. After months of mystery, Nate’s body was discovered beneath a frozen lake, his life brutally ended as part of a sinister scheme involving John Sugden. The devastating moment when Tracy learns that Nate didn’t abandon her and their daughter Frankie, but instead had met a violent end, left fans heartbroken. For Tracy, this wasn’t just the death of a husband but the unraveling of a past filled with pain, betrayal, and the remnants of a love that never quite healed.

To honor Jurell’s exit from the soap, Amy posted a series of sweet photos on her Instagram, including one where they both were grinning in matching DryRobes on set, and another capturing candid moments shared with their on-screen daughter. There were also pictures of the cast coming together, including Lawrence Robb (Mackenzie Boyd), Isabel Hodgins (Victoria Sugden), and Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle Dingle), all enjoying a meal together and showing just how tight-knit the cast truly is.

Amy’s heartfelt caption read: “‘A big man with a big heart’ – says it all. Can’t believe this is the end for Nate and Tracy, properly this time. It was a pleasure to share the screen with you @jurellcarter. You’re missed by us all. Gone but never forgotten.” The sentiment of Amy’s words deeply resonated with fans and her fellow castmates, emphasizing just how close the Emmerdale family is both on and off screen.

Jurell Carter quickly responded in the comments section with a warm and playful message: “Ahhh Amyyy, you little softie, I miss you.” This heartfelt exchange highlighted the deep connection the actors share, far beyond just their on-screen roles. Their co-stars, including Beth Cordingly (Ruby Fox Miligan), also chimed in, expressing their admiration for Jurell: “A truly beautiful man in every sense of the word. @Jurellcarter you are missed.”

The chemistry and bond between Amy and Jurell were evident not only in their roles but in how they shared their final moments on screen. As actors, they created a dynamic that captured the hearts of Emmerdale fans, and the love and respect they showed each other was clear. As Tracy, Amy portrayed a woman who was dealt blow after blow by fate, and Nate’s death was the final crushing loss. But her connection with Jurell made their partnership feel real and authentic, and fans could feel the genuine emotion pouring out from their shared scenes.

For those who have followed Nate and Tracy’s relationship, this was a farewell that stung deeply. From their first meeting to the ups and downs they faced, including infidelity, betrayal, and eventually finding their way back to each other, their love story wasn’t perfect—but it was theirs. The decision to leave Nate’s death unresolved for so long, only to have it revealed as a cruel act of violence, was a fitting end to a complex and emotional journey. And yet, despite their struggles, Tracy’s love for Nate and the impact of his loss have left an indelible mark on the show.

What makes this farewell even more poignant is the way it highlights the genuine friendships behind the scenes. Emmerdale has long been known for its strong cast relationships, and this tribute from Amy Walsh to Jurell Carter serves as a reminder of the close-knit community that has formed among the actors. Their on-screen chemistry and off-screen bond were a significant part of what made Nate and Tracy’s story so compelling.

The funeral episode in which Nate’s death was finally acknowledged was a cathartic moment for the characters involved. As Tracy and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) faced off over their shared grief, it became clear that Nate’s death had affected them both in different ways, but they were united in their loss. The sense of betrayal was still fresh, but as the episode drew to a close, viewers were left to reflect on the lasting impact of Nate’s life—and death—on the village.

For now, Emmerdale fans are left saying goodbye to one of the show’s most emotional storylines. But despite Nate’s death, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him—both on-screen and in real life. Amy Walsh’s tribute to Jurell Carter is a perfect example of the deep connections formed within the Emmerdale family, and though Nate is gone, his presence will never truly fade from the show.
