Emmerdale newcomer Ella sets her sights on another man as she sparks concern in the village
What kind of secret could the newcomer be keeping?
THINGS are heating up at the GP surgery while sparks fly between Liam Cavanagh and Ella Forster.
But the Emmerdale newcomer catches the eye of a cautious Manpreet Sharma who seems determined to know what she’s up to.
Former Coronation Street actress Paula Lane made quite the impression on ITV viewers as she took on the role of Dales newcomer Ella Forster.
Ella was initially introduced during a formal even at The Hide and some fans of the Yorkshire-based program were immediately awestruck by her as she was willing to lose her job to stick up for fan favourite Mandy Dingle.
However, as time goes by, multiple soap watchers are becoming increasingly suspicious of Ella and of her motives for being in the eponymous village.
Over the decades, new additions to the show’s line-up have proven to be too good to be true and it’s highly unlikely that Ella is an exception.
Coming up next week, Ella grows closer to village GP Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson).
Sparks begin to fly as the pair bond over houseplants in scenes due on our screens.
Meanwhile, a wary Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) isn’t fully convinced by Ella as she spots the pair looking cosier than ever in the surgery.
After getting wind of Ella’s need for a job, Manpreet offered her a position at the Emmerdale surgery as a receptionist.
Could she be regretting her decision?
Manpreet may have had some food for thought after a recent conversation led viewers to believe that Ella could be linked to serial killer Meena Jutla, Manpreet’s villainous younger sister.
Meena – played by Paige Sandhu – was responsible for several murders in the Dales and even held Manpreet hostage before trying to get rid of her.
She was thrown behind bars in early 2022, after being sentenced to a total of 75 years in prison for her actions.
During her time in the village, Ella has grown closer to Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley), one of Meena’s victims, and a conversation about Belle and Tom King’s ill-fated wedding sparked concern among fellow Emmerdale residents.
During the exchange which recently took place in The Woolpack, Dawn and her husband Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) recalled how their own big day had been sabotaged by Meena.
Soon after, Ella was eager to question Manpreet about her sister but she was quickly shut down by none other than Liam himself as Meena murdered his 18-year-old daughter in July, 2021.
Could there be more to Ella than meets the eye?
Could her interest in Meena Jutla be hiding a sinister plan?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
