On Tracy's abortion, Walsh stated: "going through that with David was something she never envisaged having to do but she knew it was the right decision at the time. I think she had to do it with David as she knew she would've fallen back in with him and depending on him and he didn't deserve that". In July 2020, it was announced that Tracy would become pregnant with Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) baby. On the storyline, Walsh said that for Tracy, the news "does come as a massive surprise and in general it's quite shocking news to hear". Digital Spy noted that it would bring back memories from her abortion, and Walsh stated that she is "a bit older than she was then, she's a bit more strong and independent". On Tracy and Nate's relationship, Walsh commented that "neither of them really know how each other feels about each other – they've never properly told each other that they love each other or any of that – so it is very soon to be going into parenthood together. They know it's a bit ridiculous that this is where they're at in this stage of the relationship". Despite this, Walsh stated that both characters would be happy to be parents, and that they "know that they can do it". Daz Spencer Daz Spencer, played by Mark Jordon, made his first screen appearance on 8 July 2014. The character and Jordon's casting was announced on 5 May 2014.

He is a former soldier, holding the rank of Staff Sergeant, who easily makes friends with the local residents, but his presence leaves his brother "feeling conflicted." Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy reported that Dan would be unsettled by his brother's "wayward reputation" and that he may be jealous of his Daz's popularity in the village. Daz arrives in Emmerdale village and is immediately popular with his brother, Dan's, fiancée Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) and his son Sean (Luke Roskell). Eventually, Sean and Kerry manage to persuade Dan to allow Daz to stay with them for a while. Noticing how close Daz is getting to married barmaid Alicia
