Jaye Griffiths has confirmed that her Emmerdale character, Celia Daniels, won't be around forever.
Chatting to RadioTimes.com and other media, Griffiths was asked if she always knew the full picture for her time on the ITV soap.
"It's such a strong arc."
Celia also happens to have mothered Ray since he was a youngster, and with Ray taking a shine to Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), Celia is in for a shock when she spots them looking close.
To Celia, this is actually all the proof she needs that Ray cares deeply for Laurel, and for the first time, we get an insight into the inner workings of Celia's mind.
"He likes her that much, and that is too real for Celia. So now the possibility is he might leave her, and I think that would come close to breaking Celia," she added.
"That was one moment we could show an inch of fragility, a moment of weakness, because otherwise you just see her strolling about hurting people."
"She has managed their situation because they move so frequently, that she's the only one he relies on, the one he turns to, the one who's forever sorting things out for him and with him.
So, what's the biggest challenge in playing such a callous character?
"When you have to shut down. Shut down all feeling, shut down any regard you have for the people you're with," said the actress.
"When we do rehearsals, particularly if I'm going to be violent, and you hear the crew go, 'ooh' and then you have to go, 'oh, I'm nice, really, I'm not really a sociopath, please don’t eat me! It's just pretend!'
"So that's very freeing, but very tiring, because caring about your fellow humans is what makes you a human. Empathy for your fellow humans is what makes life, life. So to not have that, I get very lonely, sometimes. It’s weird."
"She doesn't have many laughs, I’m hardly swinging from the rafters but no, it's just so wonderful to explore someone who doesn't mind whether you like [them] or not, because your opinion is of less than no value.
At that hint of Celia's past, she reveals a rather startling backstory as to one of the character's key fashion choices.
"She wears a cravat because someone has tried to cut her head off. So it's very subtle, and it's only halfway across, because obviously they didn't succeed in cutting her throat, and that's why she wears the cravat.
"It's just a hint of a former life, a life elsewhere that bad things have happened to her."
Discussing the reception she's received so far on Emmerdale, Griffiths said "they like her. Yes, they like her brashness at the moment."
"Everybody, they come up to me in the street and tell me how much they love Celia and you think, ‘yeah, that's not going to last!’
"I keep having these caveats because I know what's coming. So we shall watch this space. We shall see."
