Paula Lane reveals Ella’s future on the soap after pregnancy bombshell: ‘Very happy for the next chapter’

Emmerdale star Paula Lane has revealed whether or not Ella Forster will be sticking around in the Dales after telling Dr Liam she is pregnant.

Next week’s spoilers show there is no baby after all and Liam flies off the handle. But without a child to bind them there is clearly no future for this couple. So why would Ella stay in town? Does that mean she’s leaving for good?

Paula Lane reveals Ella’s future on Emmerdale

Actress Paula Lane, who plays Ella, has revealed on her Instagram that this isn’t the last we’ll see of Ella. In fact, she has just signed a new contract that makes the Dales her “second home” for “the next chapter”.

Captioning an image of her in character, in hospital, just after Ella’s accident, Paula wrote: “Oh Ella…whatever next?! I can confirm a new contract signed today for moi. Very happy to be calling Emmerdale my second home for the next chapter.”

Fans and co-stars were also thrilled to hear Paula – and Ella are staying. Mandy Dingle actress Lisa Riley wrote: “Amen to this,” followed by a series of clapping and heart emojis. And given Mandy’s Ella’s only friend it’s good news that Lisa loves working with Paula so much!

Meanwhile fans added their comments: “So glad you’re staying love Ella so much,” said one. “You will bring a new era to Emmerdale….such a good actress,” wrote a second.

“Absolutely brilliant news. Glad to hear you’re staying. Can’t wait to see what else Ella will bring to the village,” agreed a third.

A fourth said: “Glad you are staying on Paula, loved your story so far and can’t wait to see it develop.”

“Glad that you are staying in Emmerdale really looking forward to seeing what Ella gets up to next,” added a fifth.

Ella’s pregnancy bombshell

After telling Liam that she is pregnant with his baby, he is ignoring her. Later this week Mandy confronts Liam and demands he start behaving better towards the future mother of his child. Liam agrees to talk to Ella – and makes her do a pregnancy test to confirm her baby claims.

However, next week it’s time for Ella to have a scan. She refuses to let Liam go with her and invites Mandy instead. But just why is she now acting so shady?

Liam does end up going after a mix-up over transport, but upset hits when the sonographer can’t find a baby. Liam immediately accuses Ella of faking her pregnancy, his mind made up she is completely unhinged. But is that really what’s going on here? Is there more to this than he realises? And will he listen if Ella tries to explain?

Lydia Dingle’s Rose put-down declared ‘Best line ever!’

Lydia Dingle in Emmerdale has had a tough time of late, but it seems she’s back to her sparky self after her comment to Kim Tate last night.

On Monday (July 22) Lydia discovered exactly what Rose Jackson has been up to and immediately reported back to Kim.

However, Kim didn’t want to act straightaway – something Lydia advised against given what she thought of Rose. She then issued the ultimate put-down, which had fans praising the writing and calling it the ‘best line ever’ in the soap.

Rose has got her feet well and truly under the table (Credit: ITV)

Lydia finds out about Rose’s plot in Emmerdale

Viewers know Rose is working with Ruby Fox-Miligan to bring down Kim. And so far the plan seems to be working as Rose has managed to orchestrate Kim moving out of Home Farm and turned the whole family against her.

After Rose attempted to spike Will’s champagne and entrap him, the glasses got mixed up and Dawn drunk the drugged drink (try saying that when you’ve had a few!) Dawn passed out while driving, crashed her car into Ella Forster’s vehicle and now firmly believes Kim spiked her. She thinks Kim was trying to set Rose up, rather than it being the other way round. Never mind that Kim wasn’t anywhere near the glasses when the drinks were poured – or that it was Will who poured and served, Dawn’s mind is made up.

In order to protect Evan, Kim said she would move out to make everyone feel safe. Now Rose is lording it around the manor, having the gall to suggest Will change the locks and that Kim will never be allowed to move back into the house. The millions of pounds stately home that she owns, that is. Okay, Rose, who died and made you Queen?

Lydia has outsmarted Rose! (Credit: ITV)

But Rose soon slipped up on Monday when she bossed Lydia about and then made a phone call to Ruby. Only loyal Lydia had the baby monitor on and listened to every word Rose said. Cocky Rose discussed the plan and said: “Job done,” before asking for a bonus.

Lydia immediately reported to Kim and Kim wanted to sit tight and wait for Rose to trip herself up.

Lydia then said: “Look I don’t want to worry you, and Will has done nothing to encourage her, but the way she looks at him… It’s like she’s a hungry cat and he’s a tin of sardines.”

Fans in hysterics

Emmerdale fans thought Lydia‘s line was priceless and some declared it the ‘best’ ever uttered.

“Still howling over Lydia’s comment to Kim about the way Rose looks at Will – ‘She’s like a hungry cat and he’s a tin of sardines!’” one wrote on social media.

Other immediately agreed: “Me too, one of the best lines ever,” said someone. Another added: “It was brilliant, wasn’t it? Great writing.”

“It was a classic line,” said one more.

A fifth added: “Love Lydia and Kim’s friendship. So genuine and Kim knows that Lydia has no ulterior motive. She just likes her.”

We’re still laughing at the image of Will as a sardine!

Kim and Rose plot leaves fans ‘so angry’ as they say they can ‘barely watch’

Emmerdale fans are not happy about the latest twist in Rose and Ruby‘s campaign to make Kim Tate’s life a misery!

And they’re demanding that things change soon or they’ll be turning off their televisions!

Rose took delivery of some sedatives (Credit: ITV)

Revenge for Rose and Ruby!

Rose is working for Ruby, who seems to be out for revenge on Kim, for reasons that aren’t completely clear.

And that means she’s taking every opportunity to drive a wedge between Kim and husband Will. Most recently she took delivery of some drugs – paid for by Ruby – that she intended to use to spike Will’s drink, and then take advantage of his snoozy state to make it look like she’d seduced him.

The plot backfired when the glasses got muddled up and Dawn drank the spiked drink.

Everyone thought Kim was to blame – especially after Ruby arranged for the drug dealer to march into Home Farm and demand payment from a bewildered Kim.

Rose dug the knife in further with daughter Dawn, encouraging her to blame Kim, and Kim – realising she couldn’t win – moved out of her own home and into the B&B.

The winner takes it all

It looks like Rose and Ruby have won – for now – but Kim’s playing the long game. At least, we hope that’s what she’s doing!

The viewers, though, are NOT impressed.

They’re fuming that Kim has had to move away from her own home and they’re ready to take action if things don’t change!

A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale)

“My blood is boiling with the Kim storyline,” said one disgruntled viewer. Another agreed: “It’s getting me so angry I can barely look at the screen when Dawn, Rose or Will are on.”

You scriptwriters need to stop churning out these unbelievable rubbish! The Kim/Rose spiking storyline is stupid! Kim would never leave her own home! Now Rose telling Will to change the locks! Dawn calling the shots? How bad is this storyline?

â€” Becks van Cuylenburg (@becksvc1973) July 22, 2024

“The Kim and Rose storyline is the most ANNOYING thing,” fumed another fan.Â “After everything Kim’s done for Dawn and she believes Rose who’s only been there for five mins!!”

Another viewer said the storyline was “stupid” pointing out that Kim would never leave her own home.

Kim didn’t spike the drinks – Rose did (Credit: ITV)

Biding her time?

But one fan – who has clearly been an Emmerdale fan since the glory days of the Tates ruling Home Farm – had some advice for other viewers.

“Stay calm!” the knowledgeable fan reassured everyone. “Kim will have the last laugh, she always bides her time.”

There was even a prediction that Ruby could end up at the bottom of the stairs!

While we’re not sure the all new, softer Kim Tate would go that far, we are hoping that Ruby and Rose get their comeuppance soon!

The real Kim Tate is back reveals Claire King as she takes on Ruby and Rose: ‘They’re no match for Kim’

For anyone asking just what has happened to Kim Tate in Emmerdale, Claire King has got good news for you: the old Kim will make a return as she takes on Ruby and Rose and vows to bring them down. Rather them than us!

In a recent interview with Emmerdale Insider and other media, Claire said: “I keep getting everybody asking me, what has happened to Kim? Why is she being so soft? But I think she’s doing it for the family. She wants to keep the family together.”

But will she succeed in getting herself back on top? We know who our money is on!

Claire King insists Kim is ‘more dangerous than Ruby’ in Emmerdale

Home Farm is in turmoil after Rose tried to drug and entrap Will, but accidentally drugged Dawn instead. She’s managed to pin the blame on Kim, forcing Kim to move out to the B&B to protect baby Evan, and next week will seduce Will. So it looks like Rose and Ruby’s evil plot to get the better of Kim is working.

But this is Kim Tate, the queen of Emmerdale, we’re talking about and Claire insists Kim has not met her match.

“I think Ruby would like to think she’s met her match, but I don’t think she’s on a par with Kim. Kim could be a little bit more dangerous!”

So what about Rose? “I think [Kim’s] probably got quite a good idea of what she’s up to,” assures Claire. “Apart from Ruby pulling her strings. I don’t think she sees Rose as a terrible threat, but it’s probably wrong for Kim to think that actually.”

Rose makes her move – and succeeds (Credit: ITV)

Will falls for Rose’s tricks

Dean Andrews, who plays Will, admits that his alter ego is about to do something really, really, really stupid when he cheats on Kim and ends up in bed with Rose.

“Will thinks that Kim’s spiked the drinks, so he goes to see her but she ignores him. So he goes home feeling a bit sorry for himself and gets a little bit of love from Rose. And a little more love from her a bit later on!”

“But of course, she’s been paid to do that!” Claire points out!

“He really regrets it,” Dean carries on. “It’s just one of those moments of madness. He really does love Kim and wants harmony back in the house.”

The old Kim Tate would never forgive Will for this. But Claire thinks perhaps after a bit of revenge it’ll all be okay.

“I think because of the way Kim is, it’s going to be a very big hump to get over. I would imagine she will be exacting revenge,” she explains.

“It’s been a very nice sort of two or three years of playing happy families. But I think that’s always going to be within her and it’s going to come out at some point. I fear for Rose and I fear for Ruby!”

Kim knows – and Ruby had better watch out! (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale star Claire King on Kim’s revenge

On that note, Claire is desperately looking forward to the revenge plot – and we don’t blame her, because we are too!

“I can’t wait! I’ve got them all lined up,” Claire says. “There are a few that have wronged her. There’s Rose to sort out, Ruby, Will’s got to have a bit of a slap around the chops. So yeah, there’s a few. Probably Caleb in there just for good measure. Maybe chuck a Dingle in there! Sounds a bit busy, doesn’t it!”

Given Kim’s track record of leaving people to die, faking her own death and hiring assassins, there’s no telling what she’ll do. If she’s still capable that is…

“I think she is more than capable,” says Claire. “But whether she would go down that line now I’m not sure. It depends how badly things go. But obviously this is an ultimate betrayal for her. I think Rose is in serious doo doo!”

Danny Miller hints at John Sugden connection for Aaron Dingle

Emmerdale newcomer John Sugden is certain to ruffle a few feathers when he rocks up in August – and actor Danny Miller has hinted his alter ego Aaron Dingle could be right in the mix of those feathers!

Although John’s arrival will at first affect Victoria Sugden – his only remaining relative in the village, it doesn’t look like it’ll be long before Aaron is involved too. And given his history with the Sugdens – namely, Victoria’s brother Robert – how will John’s arrival go down?

Aaron’s certainly not had much luck moving on from Robert (Credit: ITV)

‘Interesting’ new Sugden coming to Emmerdale, reveals Danny Miller

Danny Miller dropped a few hints about what to expect from John at this year’s Radio Times Soap Awards. He told The Mirror: “There’s a Sugden coming in.

“With the history that Aaron has with Robert, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with them. It’ll be an interesting few months for sure.”

Hmm, sounds… interesting!

Of course, Aaron was married to Robert Sugden and the pair – known as Robron to the fans – were deemed soulmates. With Robert in prison after he attacked Victoria’s rapist, Lee Posner, who subsequently died, he told Aaron to move on.

Aaron has tried, but most of his romances since have ended tragically, including that with his lover Ben who was murdered by Meena Jutla. But will John’s arrival spell new love for Aaron? And would that not be super-duper weird? But then again, Aaron is a Dingle, a little bit of husband and wife swapping is nothing new to them!

‘Brooding and mysterious’ – just Aaron’s type! (Credit: ITV)

Who is John Sugden?

Newcomer John is described as ‘brooding and mysterious’ (aren’t they all?) and he will become ‘deeply entwined with the rich history of the Sugden family’. Sounds, er, fun…

However, John will also have his secrets… (Of course he will). He’s set for romance, when he catches “the eye of an unsuspecting resident, enriching the drama around his arrival.” So is that Aaron? And how will that complicate things?

John is played by former Coronation Street actor Oliver Farnworth, who says: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale.

“The show has such a rich history, and the Sugden family is integral to that. I’m looking forward to bringing my character to life and working with such a talented and dedicated team.”

Jeff Hordley admits Cain will ‘do what he needs to’ when the truth about Tom’s abuse comes out

Belle is missing in Emmerdale, but Cain and Charity are hot on their tails andÂ Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain, has revealed Cain will stop at nothing to protect his sister.

And it seems she really does need his help when he and Charity arrive at the holiday cottage where Belle and Tom have gone on holiday to find the place trashed, blood on the walls and absolutely no sign of Belle or Tom. Where are they? And how will Cain deal with this situation?

So what has happened to Belle in Emmerdale?

Spoilers for next week’s Emmerdale have revealed that Charity and Cain are very worried for Belle’s safety. And we all know they are definitely right to be!

Charity makes a discovery that Belle has missed some of her mental health appointments. With the other Dingle women thinking Charity is overreacting after the other week’s drama, she decides Cain is her best bet at being believed. Confiding in him Tom reminds her of Bails, that’s enough to make Cain sit up and take notice.

Together they break into Belle and Tom’s house. They find his surveillance equipment and her phone hidden in a drawer. Really worried now, Tom’s budget book throws up a lead to a remote Welsh cottage. So off Charity and Cain head.

It isn’t long before they’re in Wales, at the cottage. But what greets them is not a pretty sight: a trashed cottage with blood on the walls. And no sign of Belle or Tom.

Tom’s definitely going to have lost his cleaning deposit (Credit: ITV)

Jeff Hordley hints ‘old Cain’ could be on his way back to Emmerdale – and it’s about time!

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media recently, Cain Dingle actor Jeff Hordley has hinted that Cain’s violent side may make an appearance as he seeks to protect Belle from Tom.

The star teased: “Well, [Belle’s] his little sister. I think if somebody hurt his little sister in particular, there’s no saying what Cain would do.”

He then added: “He’ll do what he needs to do to be able to make things right,” when it comes to protecting Belle from Tom.

It’s fair to say Tom has really underestimated the Dingles if he thinks he can take them on and win. But does he realise quite what he’s let himself in for? Once Belle is found and the truth is out, we would not like to be in Tom’s shoes at all.

Sam Hall insists Samson ‘does have morals’ as he comes clean about the stabbing

As Samson Dingle in Emmerdale becomes more and more unlikable thanks to his lies, actor Sam Hall has revealed his alter ego will have a change of heart and attempt to set Matty free.

Currently Matty is locked up after he stabbed Samson. It was an accident, caused by Josh hurling transphobic insults at Matty and then pushing Samson into him. Samson was stabbed by the knife Matty was holding. He has since lied, under Josh’s orders, that Matty hurt him in cold blood.

It’s left the Dingles divided as half of them are standing by Samson, believing his lies, and the other half are desperate to get him to tell the truth.

Samson will finally – finally – have a change of heart next week. But how will Josh react?

The stabbing was a complete accident (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale spoilers: The truth is out!

Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal that Samson has been caught out in his fibs by Lydia. She encourages him to go to the police and be honest about what really happened. However his dad Sam is worried about Samson’s future and the trouble lying to the police will get him in and encourages him to do a runner.

With Sam and Lydia poles apart and Sam turning his anger on Cain, a fight breaks out and Sam punches his brother to the floor of the Woolpack.

Samson eventually realises Lydia is right and he needs to tell the truth. But how will this affect his future?

Samson has been under pressure from Josh (Credit: ITV)

Sam Hall teases the reason Samson tells the truth

Sam Hall who plays Samson has shared the reason behind the character’s U-turn.

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Sam shared: “As we’ve seen previously in storylines, he sometimes says the wrong things and gets persuaded fairly easily by people through either fear or fear of the unknown.

“In the end, he always comes out to do the right thing because, from a parent’s point of view, Sam has always taught Samson to do the right thing. And, Lydia has always backed up Sam’s views on coming clean and doing the right thing. So, however wrong Samson does, I feel like he always comes out in the end to do the right thing and reverse what wrong he’s done.”

But why does he choose now, after standing his ground for so long, to come clean? “I think it’s his own conscience, I really do,” Sam explained.

“I do think his morals are very deep down, correct. In the end, it’s himself that thinks ‘look, Matty’s family, this isn’t the right thing to do. We need to do what’s right here.’ I do think it’s him.”

But there’s no telling whether the confession is in time to save Matty who is in prison hell and under threat from violence. Or how Josh will react. And whether Samson himself will evade justice?

James Hooton admits Sam feels ‘betrayed’ by Lydia over Samson lies

Sam and Lydia Dingle have had their fair share of tough times in Emmerdale in recent months. And despite only just having reconciled following her rape hell, fresh heartache is heading their way – all thanks to lying Samson.

Viewers are aware Samson has told the police Matty stabbed him in cold blood, when in reality it was an accident caused by Josh. As Matty languishes in prison, Lydia and Sam have supported Samson in the face of accusations he’s lying.

But when Lydia discovers he is in fact being dishonest, she encourages him to do the right thing and go to the police. However, Sam does not like that plan. He wants his son to do a runner and escape any form of punishment for his lies.

Actors James Hooton and Karen Blick, who plays Sam and Lydia have teased exactly how this conflict will affect Sam and Lydia’s relationship.

Samson finally comes clean

New Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal that Lydia interrupts a conversation between Sam and Samson during which they’re planning Samson’s getaway to push her stepson into going to the police.

Samson’s conscience eventually kicks in (no, really, he does have one!) and he confesses everything to the cops to get Matty out of prison.

But Sam is livid at Lydia! Not with Samson for his lies, but with Lydia. Sam blames his wife for ruining his son’s future. Right.

Sam’s also furious with Cain and starts a fight with him, lamping in one in the pub. Cain then does all he can to make sure Samson doesn’t run away again.

Sam takes on hard man Cain (Credit: ITV)

Trouble for Sam and Lydia

Sam and Lydia find their marriage tested once again by the big mess Samson has caused. And EmmerdaleÂ stars James Hooton and Karen Blick have teased what’s to come.

James explained to Entertainment Daily!: “Lydia is the moral compass of the Dingles. The Dingles have the ‘Dingle Code’ but Lydia has the correct moral way to go about things.”

He continued: “He feels initially betrayed by the fact that Lydia’s made him do the right thing.

“Words are said…”

However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as in the end, ‘it’s all water under the bridge,’ and Sam comes round to Lydia’s viewpoint. Thank goodness for that!

Charlotte Bellamy details gruesome accident on set that saw her ‘rushed to A&E’

Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy once “chopped off the top of her finger” while filming the soap. She was rushed to hospital whilst wearing a fake baby bump, causing all sorts of confusion!

Despite her character Laurel being the one with her fair share of dramatic moments in the Dales, this time it was Charlotte herself who had to go to A&E – and it still wasn’t that straightforward.

Emmerdale star Charlotte Bellamy in A&E dash

On Wednesday (July 3) Charlotte appeared on Lorraine. She was there to talk about Laurel’s latest storyline which sees her collapse unable to breathe. However, while chatting to host Lorraine Kelly, the soap star soon began to recall another perilous moment on set – but for her personally rather than for Laurel.

Charlotte explained to Lorraine: “So during filming, I was making a Bolognese, as you do, with a very blunt knife. And on the take, I chopped the top of my finger off.

“But at the time, I was pretending to be pregnant as Laurel, and so I had to get rushed into A&E with the prop man.”

It then turned somewhat farcical as members of the public became confused over her fake baby bump, mistaking it for a real one!

“They were so confused and worried about my baby,” Charlotte laughed, “but obviously my baby wasn’t real.”

She continued: “And I had to say ‘that’s not my husband’ and ‘this isn’t real’. But I had actually chopped the top of my finger off.”

Shame it wasn’t super-hospital Hotten General!

It’s not looking good for Laurel tonight (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale spoilers: Does Laurel survive her collapse?

Of course while Charlotte was fine after the incident, the same might not be said for Laurel in her upcoming storylines. Tonight (Wednesday July 3) things take a dramatic turn when Laurel collapses in church.

Things are tense between Laurel and Jai after she discovered the truth about what really happened to Amit. Jai is desperately trying to squirm out of telling Suni the truth, but furious Laurel won’t let it lie. After he follows her to the church where she’s seeking solace, another argument breaks out and Jai ends up insulting Ashley.

Not good.

After she sends him away and makes her feelings about Jai perfectly clear, Laurel feels dizzy and collapses as she struggles to breathe. She can’t reach her phone. But Gabby finds her and calls an ambulance.

Meanwhile, Jai is trying to confess everything to Suni, but stops in his tracks when he gets the call about Laurel. He rushes to her side, but will she pull through?
