"Emmerdale star Sian Reese-Williams has revealed that she &amp;#039;cried like a baby&amp;#039; the day she quit the soap. It was recently announced that the actress, who plays Gennie Sharma, was leaving the role after five years.  However, Reese-Williams has revealed that she has known about her plans for nearly a year after deciding not to renew her current contract. She told the Daily Star: &amp;quot;I remember crying a lot. I think I started crying before I had even spoken the words out loud. I&amp;#039;m a cry baby anyway so it was going to happen.  &amp;quot;That day feels like a lifetime ago but it&amp;#039;s suddenly here.&amp;quot;  Reese-Williams said that she informed bosses of her leaving plans a long time ago to ensure that her character was given a great exit. The actress said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve had a brilliant time here but I was never going to stay forever, I want to move on and do other things. For me that&amp;#039;s the point of being an actor. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve loved playing Gennie but I love playing other people as well.&amp;quot; Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursday.
