Emmerdale fans are still reeling from the heartbreaking death of Amy Wyatt earlier this year, but actress Natalie Ann Jamieson is already stepping into a brand-new chapter—

one filled with creativity, ambition, and artistic rebirth. After her shocking exit from ITV’s long-running soap, Jamieson has announced her first major project since leaving the Dales,

proving that life after heartbreak can blossom in the most inspiring ways. Natalie Ann Jamieson, who joined Emmerdale in 2019, quickly became a fan favorite for her authentic portrayal of

Amy Wyatt—the spirited, complex daughter of Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and the foster child of Val Lambert (Charlie Hardwick) and Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). From teenage pregnancy to tragic loss, Amy’s storyline was one of resilience and redemption. At just 17, she gave birth to Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn), fathered by none other than the infamous Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley). Her turbulent life in the village mirrored the emotional rollercoaster fans love Emmerdale for—filled with love, loss, and gut-wrenching twists.

Viewers were left devastated when Amy’s life came to a shocking and untimely end earlier this year. Her death—caused by hypothermia following a catastrophic limo crash—rocked the village and claimed multiple lives, including those of Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough). It was one of Emmerdale’s most talked-about moments of 2025, a storyline that blended tragedy with emotional intensity, leaving fans heartbroken and stunned.

The coroner’s report later ruled Amy, Leyla, and Suzy’s deaths as accidental, a bittersweet conclusion to a storyline that gripped audiences for months. But for Natalie Ann Jamieson, it marked not an ending—but a beginning.

Now, nine months after her on-screen death, Jamieson is channeling her talent into an exciting new creative project. The former Emmerdale star is set to take part in a staged reading of “All of It” by Alistair McDowall, as part of the Rude Health Festival at the TotCam Boys Theatre in the Northeast later this month. The play’s organizers confirmed the news on Instagram, writing, “Thrilled to announce Natalie Ann Jamieson will star in ‘All of It’ as part of Rude Health Festival. You may know her from Emmerdale! This brilliant staged reading encompasses all of life, and we’ll be joined by playwright and director Maria Crocker for a post-show discussion.”

The announcement immediately sparked excitement among fans eager to see Jamieson return to the stage. Comments poured in, with one fan writing, “Looks great! Can’t wait to see Natalie back doing what she loves.” Another added, “Ticket sorted—see you there!” The enthusiasm was palpable, showing that despite Amy Wyatt’s tragic end, Jamieson’s connection to her audience remains strong and vibrant.

Beyond acting, Natalie Ann Jamieson has also been exploring her entrepreneurial side. Earlier this year, she launched her own creative venture—a t-shirt business called “By Nat Jam”—which has already begun to attract attention for its unique, embroidered designs. Sharing the story behind her new business on Instagram, Jamieson wrote, “Why am I making tees? Well, lots of reasons—but mostly for fun! I can’t tell you how many conversations these tees sparked at Glasto. The fun we had wearing them, making them, and creating smiles—it’s all part of doing what I love.”

Her passion project embodies the same authenticity that made Amy Wyatt so beloved. “I’m lucky enough to do something I love as an actor,” Jamieson continued. “And I never want to let that go. So I’m taking it into all aspects of my life—do what you love, have fun doing it, and make people smile.”

This new venture reflects a wider trend among soap stars who, after years of embodying emotional, high-stakes roles, find creative fulfillment through personal projects. But few have transitioned as gracefully as Natalie Ann Jamieson, whose warmth and enthusiasm have continued to shine beyond the Dales.

Industry insiders say that Jamieson’s return to live performance may also open the door to future television opportunities. The star’s stage work, paired with her entrepreneurial efforts, showcases her versatility—something producers are already taking note of. Rumors are swirling that she’s in talks for a new TV drama project, though details remain under wraps.

For Emmerdale fans, however, Amy Wyatt’s legacy will continue to resonate. Her character’s journey—from teenage mother to devoted wife—was one of the show’s most heartfelt narratives. Her marriage to Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) in 2024 was celebrated as a powerful representation of love and acceptance in modern soap storytelling. The heartbreaking limo crash that ended her life left viewers gutted, yet profoundly moved.

In the aftermath, Emmerdale viewers flooded social media with tributes, celebrating Jamieson’s performance as one of the show’s emotional highlights of the year. “Natalie Ann Jamieson gave everything to Amy,” one fan wrote. “Her final scenes were raw and unforgettable. Emmerdale won’t be the same without her.”

Now, as she steps back into the spotlight with “All of It”, fans are eager to see how her artistry evolves. The play, known for its emotional depth and exploration of life’s fleeting moments, seems like a fitting next step for an actress who has spent years portraying humanity’s most vulnerable sides.

Jamieson’s journey from Emmerdale’s fictional heartbreak to real-world creative freedom paints an inspiring picture. It’s a reminder that while characters may die, the artists who bring them to life continue to grow, inspire, and create in new and unexpected ways.

As the Rude Health Festival performance approaches, all eyes will be on Natalie Ann Jamieson once again—this time not as Amy Wyatt, the daughter, mother, and wife whose story ended in tragedy, but as herself: a multi-talented artist whose next act promises hope, laughter, and reinvention.

Whatever the future holds, one thing is certain—Natalie Ann Jamieson has proven that her story, much like her talent, is far from over. Emmerdale may have closed the chapter on Amy Wyatt, but for Jamieson, a thrilling new story is just beginning.
