"Jaye Jacobs has reflected on her departure from Holby City, admitting that she will miss the show&amp;#039;s dramatic storylines. The actress&amp;#039;s character Donna Jackson will bow out of the BBC medical drama next month following a seven-year stint on screen. Her exit storyline sees her move away with love interest Kieran Callaghan (Barry Sloane). Speaking to the Central Somerset Gazette about leaving Holby, Jacobs explained: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m definitely going to miss all the drama. Filming my final scenes was really overwhelming - it was incredibly emotional and intense, and it made it all very hard and raw. &amp;quot;I knew it was the last few scenes she&amp;#039;d have and I put myself under a lot of pressure to get them right. But the cast and crew were all so supportive and they knew I wanted to put in the best performance I could. &amp;quot;It wasn&amp;#039;t until later that I realised I&amp;#039;d put myself under a hideously stressful situation and that I should just be enjoying the experience. Afterwards, I realised how much I was looking forward to embracing something new. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been playing Donna for years, and it was a great chance to embrace something new and put myself in a new situation where I could play new characters.&amp;quot; Jacobs took on a theatre role after filming her final Holby scenes and she is now looking forward to new projects. She said: &amp;quot;At the moment I&amp;#039;ve got the flu, so I&amp;#039;m going to recover from that and then start auditioning again. I want to do a wide variety of stuff - and I&amp;#039;m just going to see what comes along that takes my interest.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click here to read our Holby City spoilers "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
