ITV Emmerdale Ella Forster’s secret ‘revealed’ as newcomer exposed by concerned villagers

Emmerdale welcomed newcomer Ella Forster, who is played by actress Paula Lane, earlier this year.

The new character made a dramatic debut in the village as she poured a drink over her boss Jules, quitting her job on the spot while standing up for Mandy Dingle at a vets social. However, Ella has soon left viewers suspicious as it’s clear she’s hiding something with her behaviour raising eyebrows at times.

After quitting her job, Ella soon landed a new role at the doctor’s surgery as a receptionist and it wasn’t long until she struck up a romance with doctor Liam Cavanagh. However, after one of their earlier dates, Ella jumped away from Liam after kissing him and quickly made her excuses as she rushed off. Meanwhile, Ella showed suspicious behaviour when Liam found himself in a love triangle between Ella and Chas Dingle.

With Ella appearing to be hiding something big, her secret appears to be finally revealed next week. In upcoming spoilers, Ella panics when Liam suggests staying at her place but she manages to deflect his offer. Later, on the outskirts of the village, viewers see Ella bed down in her car as it’s clear she has no permanent place to stay and has been lying to those around her.

The next morning, Ella is found sleeping in her car by Manpreet Sharma during her morning run. Ella is left mortified as she begs Manpreet not to tell Liam. However, in true soap style, Manpreet soon clumsily admits to Liam that she found Ella sleeping in her car, leaving the latter utterly furious.

After some discussion, Liam suggests that Ella temporarily moves into the spare room at his house and a delighted Ella agrees. Later, Mandy helps Ella move things into Liam’s house, where she enquires about Ella’s family. Things take a dramatic turn when Ella spots an old photograph in Mandy’s hands to which she snaps and Mandy is left confused over the confrontation.

Later in the week, Ella and Liam navigate their relationship as they live together. However, Liam is soon left puzzled when Ella refuses to let a photographer take her picture and dashes off. Out in the beer garden, Mandy advises Liam to make sure Ella has no skeletons in the closet before things get serious between them. Taking Mandy’s advice, Liam asks some intrusive questions to Ella, which leaves the latter rattled as she darts out of the house. Later, viewers see Ella visit a care home… what is she hiding and who is at the care home?
