Laura Norton would love Emmerdale flashback ep

Laura Norton would love ‘Emmerdale’ bosses to give her a flashback episode.
The 36-year-old actress has portrayed Kerry Wyatt on the ITV soap since 2012, and she is keen to delve into more of her character’s past in a special ep.
She said: "I think I’d love to see something come up from the past.
"A past event where even if you don’t get to see the other character, you get to find out what exactly has happened to her that makes her behave so ridiculously. A flashback episode."
Laura is hoping the flashback episode could show fans what Kerry is all about and perhaps the character could become a "better friend and parent" by looking back at her past.
She said: "If she fixes whatever it is that’s hurt her in the past, that will inevitably help her be a better friend and a better parent and she’d make much better life decisions."
Laura would also be keen for Kerry to have another baby and try to be a better mum second time around than she was to her daughter Amy Wyatt – now played by Natalie Ann Jamieson – during her younger years.
She added: "Or she could have another baby and see if the second time around she could do it differently. Who knows? Maybe a flashback would be the best."
Laura loves playing Kerry when things go wrong because she can get her teeth into "gritty" storylines, but admits portraying the character when things are going well for her alter-ego is the "most fun" she’s had on screen.
She said: "When things are running smoothly she’s the most fun character I’ve ever played.
"But when she makes a mess you get to do brilliant, gritty stuff where somebody’s got disaster following them wherever they go."
