Emmerdale twists ‘solved’: Rose’s mystery caller, Tom’s downfall and Ella’s dark secret

Emmerdale is lining up all sorts of twists and turns, with plenty of secrets and plot conclusions yet to be confirmed.

Fans of the ITV soap have been predicting all kinds of drama, with it clear some village residents are hiding something. Some appear to be up to no good, while others are desperately trying to conceal what’s really going on in their lives.

We have the truth about newcomer Ella Forster yet to come out, amid theories that she’s linked to a former baddie. As her behaviour gets all the more concerning and suspicious in the coming days, what exactly is she keeping from her partner Liam Cavanagh?

Elsewhere, fellow newcomer Rose Jackson appears to have an ulterior motive for reuniting with her estranged daughter Dawn Taylor. But after a cryptic phone call this week, who is she in cahoots with?

Then there’s Ethan Anderson’s fate, as he fights for his life next week – but will he die? Another big hope from fans is that Tom King will finally be exposed for abusing his wife Belle Dingle, but who might trigger his downfall? Here’s all the theories…

Ella’s dark past

Emmerdale fans think they’ve finally rumbled Ella Forster’s secret, as her recent behaviour teased she was up to no good. It had been teased she had a huge secret away from the village after her arrival earlier this year, and since then she’s been acting a little off. In the latest episode of the ITV soap she concerned her partner Liam Cavanagh, as their day out at the village fete ended abruptly.

He had been worried about her after she seemed to be on edge, and then when they were having lunch in the pub she suddenly lashed out. The fete photographer was going around and taking pictures of people to promote the day, most likely going online if not in a local paper.

As soon as she realised pictures were being taken of her she freaked out, and hid her face from view. She firmly told the photographer and Liam she didn’t want her picture taken, adding she had not given permission.

Suddenly she claimed to feel unwell and that she had to leave, as she fled the pub leaving Liam baffled. Viewers watching the scenes unfold were quick to predict a witness protection twist, and that this was why she was hiding.

While some fans wondered if she had been in prison and was starting her life over again, one theory read that perhaps she was in hiding and her identity needed to be covered up. It comes a day on from Ella snapping at Mandy Dingle over a photo.

Mandy picked up a photograph of two young girls and wondered who they were, leading to Ella snapping. She called Mandy out and grabbed the picture from her, and viewers saw it in full view.

It wasn’t clear who the girls were, but it’s thought from Ella’s reaction she is one of them, and she certainly knows the other mystery person. Viewers are convinced that they’ve actually seen the photo before or one similar, and that it was in the possession of killer Meena. If this is true, then either Ella and Meena know the same people, or perhaps it’s them in the photo.

Tom King’s downfall

Emmerdale may have revealed which character in the village will work out Tom King’s vile behaviour on the ITV soap. No one in the village has realised he is abusing his wife Belle Dingle, violently assaulting her this week after months of coercive control. Belle sparked concern with her family this week, after clashing with some of them amid her secret turmoil.

Fearing Tom’s behaviour, she hasn’t been herself and a chat with Lydia and Mandy left her uneasy and led to a showdown with Tom, where he attacked her. In the fallout she kicked him out, while he has since returned and instead of seeking help, he made it seem as though Belle was the one lashing out and being controlling.

Belle’s brother Cain Dingle has recently seemed concerned though, and in two moments last week he appeared to suspect something was up. Might Cain find out exactly what Tom has been up to in recent weeks, and will he be the one to stop Tom?

Ethan Anderson’s fate

Ethan will be left fighting for his life next week on the show in the days after his hit and run, which took place on Wednesday night. Ethan was shown bloodied and in a bad way in the middle of the road, having been struck by a car.

As Ethan managed to stagger his way back to the village he collapsed, and was checked over by his stepmother Manpreet Sharma who is a doctor. Ethan passed out but soon regained consciousness, while he was clearly in a lot of pain.

Ethan refused to spill the beans on who attacked him and also refused to tell the police, or go to the hospital. But he suddenly collapses in scenes next week, while it hasn’t been confirmed if it’s a result of his hit and run.

Manpreet battles to save her lifeless stepson in their home, attempting to resuscitate him as his father Charles fears the worst. Spoilers reveal that Ethan’s life is in peril, with his family trying in vain to save his life – but will he die?
