Emmerdale k.i.l.l.e.r Ella Forster strikes again as she takes hostages in shock exit plot
Dramatic scenes bring in two people Ella has been close with in the village
EMMERDALE k.i.l.l.e.r Ella Forster is set to strike again and take hostages in her dramatic exit plot.
Viewers know Ella – played by Paula Lane – is soon leaving the ITV soap.

And after a tumultuous year in the village, dramatic upcoming scenes suggest it won’t be a quiet departure.
Ella confronts Mandy (Lisa Riley) unannounced at home demanding to speak with Liam.
When Mandy refuses, Ella holds her former friend against her will, forcing Liam to come over.
Ella again tries to convince Liam she’s being framed, while he attempts to trick her into confessing by pretending to get back together.
After catching on to Liam’s deception, Ella grabs hold of a knife again.
Chas (Lucy Pargeter) and Mandy arrive while Ella flees with Liam in pursuit.
A confrontation occurs in the woods where Ella pushes Liam, causing him to fall and hit his head.
Believing she might have k.i.l.l.e.d him, Ella sobs over his body.
Earlier, Liam and Chas are left very concerned when Ella starts to persistently call and message them.
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) suggests to Liam that he turn off his phone – and initially, all seems well.
Ella’s harassment escalates as she seemingly sends an email cancelling Liam and Chas’ wedding.
A desperate Liam calls the police, but PC Swirling (Andy Moore) informs him they can’t act until Ella is found.
Things in the village become even more intense when a pub window is smashed.
Meanwhile, an unseen Ella watches Liam and Chas board it up.
The Sun were the first to reveal that Paula Lane would be exiting the soap after her stint as Ella fell rather flat with very little fanfare.
Ella’s dark storylines have included m.u.r.d.e.r and being locked up for assault.
Paula first appeared to confirm she had quit the show when she updated her professional Spotlight account to confirm she would cease filming on the soap opera in February 2025 after 16 months in the role.
This suggested the star would remain on screens until at least late March.
Emmerdale continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
