After stepping away from the familiar comforts of the Emmerdale village, Daisy Campbell is ready to shake up British television in a bold, transformative way. Known to fans as Amelia Spencer, Daisy is now turning the page to lead a powerful new drama titled Storm, which promises to rip the veil off the entertainment industry’s darker truths.
In Storm, Daisy takes on the challenging role of Lacey Dean, a former child actress who once sparkled in the spotlight of a beloved soap opera. But behind the glittering exterior lies a past scarred by trauma. As Lacey navigates adulthood, she carries a truth she’s never spoken — a truth about a co-star who abused her when she was just a teenager, someone who was once celebrated by millions and is now poised to receive a lifetime achievement award.
The drama unfolds with unnerving realism as Lacey is approached by industry executives offering her money to say kind words about the man who hurt her — a man who’s dodged accusations in the past. Torn between the temptation to take the cash and finally pay off her mounting debts or standing tall and risking her reputation to expose the truth, Lacey finds herself at the center of a storm that could end her career… or change the industry forever.
Daisy, who herself is making her return to screen after leaving Emmerdale in December 2024, brings fierce vulnerability and restrained power to the character. In her own words, this is a project she’s “super proud of” — one that digs deep into the emotional aftermath of abuse, the culture of silence that allows it to persist, and the lonely courage it takes to speak up.
The series, expected to debut in July, features a cast made up entirely of former soap stars — a meta twist that mirrors the fiction unfolding on-screen. The blurred line between reality and performance becomes a chilling metaphor, especially as Lacey wrestles with whether the public will believe her… or turn on her.
In the world of Storm, justice isn’t black and white — it’s soaked in shame, sacrifice, and the hope that one voice might finally be enough to crack a legacy of lies.
