Emmerdale star Ash Palmisciano discusses future for Matty and Amy

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Ash Palmisciano has discussed his character Matty Barton's romance with girlfriend Amy Wyatt following Matty's shock revenge against Suzy Merton.

Palmisciano has opened up about the state of Matty's relationship with Amy, revealing that "he doesn't really do well with communicating his feelings".

Rather than confide in Amy about his revenge plans, Palmisciano explained that Matty is quite "closed" and deals with things on his own.

"He's quite a closed character in what he's really thinking so I think he would rather deal with this himself than talk to Amy about it.

"She senses something is wrong as she always does, and tries to offer support, but he's like a one-man wolfpack, he wants to deal with it on his own," he explained.

"I think it's because the moment he starts talking about it he's going to have to be truthful and say it's because he feels bad that he wasn't there for Holly. So yeah, he tries to deal with it all on his own."

However, the actor went on to say that he thinks the couple do have a long-term future together because Amy is so supportive.

"They make such a sweet couple, and she is such a good support to him. I do think they are soulmates, and they have each other's best interests at heart, but you never know."

Last year, Matty made a big decision regarding the next stage of his gender affirmation and revealed to those closest to him that he's booked an assessment for lower surgery.

Palmisciano hopes to see Matty go through with the surgery eventually but revealed that he is in no rush and "when the time is right, it could be something really exciting to explore".

"I think it will be cool to do because it's never been done in a soap before or on TV really in a drama."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
