TRACY Metcalfe is set for an explosive return to the Dales with wedding bells ringing ahead.
Her ex Nate Robinson gets kidnapped before he can intercept the ceremony in upcoming Emmerdale scenes.
Actress Amy Walsh has made her return on the ITV soap's set and show boss Jane Hudson teased her on-screen alter ego will be walking down the aisle with a mystery beau.
But while Tracy prepares for her nuptials, another shocking revelation rocks the Dales and news travels fast.
Notorious village gossip Nicola King hears that Tracy's ex Nate Robinson is trying to fight for custody of their daughter Frankie at the town hall, prompting Cain and Moira Dingle to spring into action themselves.

The pair meet up with Nate, only to find Tracy in a wedding dress... alongside a handsome stranger.
With Nate nearby, Cain and Moira realise that he's getting ready to ruin Tracy's big day - but could they be jumping to conclusions?
During a chat with The Sun and other press, Nate actor Jurell Carter spoke about his character getting caught up by Cain and Moira.
To make matters worse, the couple go to extreme lengths to stop Nate from making a big mistake.
"They think I’m intercepting the wedding so they try to intercept me", Jurell explained.
"They end up hitting me, kidnapping me, then knocking me out and bundling me into the van."
And when met with Cain and Moira, Nate is incandescent with rage.
"He’s just shocked and he’s angry at the same time."
Was Nate really ready to ruin Tracy's wedding?
Or could he be keeping a huge secret from Cain and Moira?

While this remains to be seen, both Jurell Carter and Amy Walsh are confident that their characters make a good match.
"I think they come from a similar background, they’ve had a rough upbringing", Jurell commented.
"We come from similar struggles and can kind of relate to each other. I think they’ve got a fierceness about each other as well and they’re very loyal, family-orientated."
Amy added: "Tracy’s wish has always been to have this family life that she didn’t have. She’s strived for that always. And I think Nate’s the same."
But will they get the happy ending they hope for?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
