"Emmerdale&amp;#039;s Gemma Oaten has described her character&amp;#039;s exit from the soap as &amp;quot;devastating and emotional&amp;quot;. The actress, who plays Rachel Breckle, will depart the role early next year after joining ITV&amp;#039;s Yorkshire-based soap in summer, 2011.  She told BBC Radio London that fans of the show can look forward to a lot more drama for Rachel in the coming months. On what fans can expect from the exit, she said: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s been spoken about that Rachel leaves in a blaze of glory. She does and it&amp;#039;s quite a devastating and emotional story. There&amp;#039;s a lot of emotional content in there.&amp;quot; She explained that Emmerdale producer Kate Oates wants to focus less on &amp;quot;big stunts&amp;quot; and more on &amp;quot;heart, people and relationships&amp;quot; for Rachel&amp;#039;s departure. &amp;quot;Rachel decides to stop lying to the man she loves. Then it spirals\u2026&amp;quot; she teased. The star said that she will miss working on Emmerdale, but admitted that she won&amp;#039;t miss &amp;quot;being blown away&amp;quot; during cold winter shoots.  &amp;quot;At the minute I&amp;#039;m sort of in panic mode because I know these next six weeks, up to the Christmas break, are just insane,&amp;quot; she said of her filming schedule. &amp;quot;But I want to be busy and in the thick of a storyline. It&amp;#039;s much better to have that than not. &amp;quot;Three years ago I was in my flat in Finsbury Park thinking, when am I going to get my break? You never begrudge working hard on a show you love.&amp;quot; A turbulent time for Rachel begins next week as her boyfriend Sam Dingle (James Hooton) finds out that Jai Sharma is the father of her baby son Archie, not Rishi as he was previously told. Jai&amp;#039;s wife Charity will also discover the truth within the next few weeks and hatch a plan for revenge. Emmerdale continues on Monday evening (November 4) at 7pm on ITV.
