Liam Cavanagh finds new love after disastrous affairs in Emmerdale
The GP's new love interest is suspected of hiding a dark secret.
SINGLE and unlucky in love as of late, Liam Cavanagh finally gets another chance to find happiness in the Dales.
The fan favourite forgets about his previous conquests as he grows closer to another woman in Emmerdale. Is everything as it seems?
Life in the eponymous ITV village is nothing short of eventful but for Liam Cavanagh (played by Jonny McPherson), it has also involved catastrophe and tragedy.
After losing his daughter to serial killer Meena Jutla, Liam faced loss again when his marriage with Leyla Harding went downhill due to her cocaine addiction.
Keen to find love again, Liam then embarked on an affair with Wendy Posner, only for Bob Hope to find out and the nurse to choose the B&B owner over the GP.
In more recent months, sparks appeared to fly between Liam and Chas Dingle, after he flirted with her cousin Charity but, despite a steamy romp, the budding romance appears to be part of the past.
Chas continues to face triple negative breast cancer while Liam remains a free agent in the Yorkshire Dales.
But with the arrival of Ella Forster (Paula Lane), Liam gets another chance to spice up his love life as the pair share undeniable chemistry.
Unfortunately, the growing bond is leaving Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) unimpressed.
Coming up next week, Manpreet calls a team meeting with a chastised Liam when she catches him flirting with Ella again.
Manpreet gave Ella a receptionist position in the local GP surgery as she lost her job for sticking up for Mandy Dingle during the Vets’ Ball.
Could she be regretting giving Ella a chance?
Despite her best efforts, Manpreet can’t do anything to stop the connection and romance continues to blossom later on between Liam and Ella.
Liam is then delighted when Ella agrees to go on a date.
But could he be in danger?
Manpreet may have had some food for thought about Ella after a recent conversation led viewers to believe that the newcomer 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.
Viewers have grown increasingly convinced that Ella may have a secret connection to the sinister nurse as she showed particular interest in her reign of terror.
What could Ella be hiding?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 730pm on ITV.
