Emmerdale spoilers: Ella overwhelmed by her big secret as her worrying behaviour increases
When Ella Forster (Paula Lane) arrived in Emmerdale it seemed that she was just a lovely person. She was bright, sparky and funny and was always ready to stick up for people she thought were having a hard time.
Her debut episode saw her supporting Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) when she was being humiliated by a nasty man at a party – even though the nasty man was Ella’s boss at the time.
She’s also proved to be a good friend to Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) and Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) has also confided in her.
Romance soon blossomed with her colleague at Brook Cottage Surgery, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) – and we started to see a few hints that Ella might be not quite as nice as she seemed.
When the relationship with Liam started he was in two minds about it, as prior to that he’d had a little fling with Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and was rather smitten with her. It soon became clear that Ella was jealous of Chas and she looked distinctly unhappy when she spotted Liam and Chas having a bit of a moment together.
There’s even been speculation that Ella could have some connection to Emmerdale’s arch villain Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu).
We’ve heard her speak about a former friend who was a nurse – like Meena – who encouraged her to go into nursing. Could she have been talking about Meena?
Whatever the truth about her past, there’s no doubt that secrets are soon set to be revealed. With Liam and Ella becoming closer all the time, hiding aspects of her history will prove more and more difficult.
In episodes to be aired soon we’ll see Ella becoming overwhelmed at how past the relationship is progressing as it becomes harder to keep secrets from Liam.
Images from location filming have revealed that there’s a lot to come from Ella, as they show her getting into a huge showdown at a funeral for someone called June Phillips.
Liam is also involved as there’s a confrontation between him and one of the mourners, and then Ella also gets involved.
Are we finally going to find out exactly who Ella Forster is, and what she’s been hiding?
