Her character Donna left Emmerdale in 2009, but returned in 2014 for a short stint where she revealed she was terminally ill.
In a dramatic episode, Donna then made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the safety of her daughter April, falling to her death from the top of a multi-storey car park while handcuffed to dangerous villain Gary North.
Since leaving the show, Verity has moved on to the West End, starring in Hairspray and Kinky Boots.
Speaking about being a working mum, she said to PA: "It's a massive struggle obviously when you have a baby and so I decided to chill and take 10 months.
"Then I felt I needed to be me again and the skills I had worked so hard on I didn't want to lose.
"I just don't think that everything should stop just because I've had a baby, and I've been very lucky I've had 10 months with her and I'm still at home with her until 4 o'clock, so I get to spend time with her and do the show."
