    Spoilers: Liam accuses Ella of faking her pregnancy after it’s confirmed there’s no baby

    Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers see Liam Cavanagh on the warpath after he finds out Ella Forster isn’t actually pregnant.

    The shock truth comes out at Ella’s baby scan, causing Liam to accuse his ex of making the whole thing up to trap him. But is there more to the sad situation than meets the eye?

    Pregnant Ella looks to the future in Emmerdale spoilers

    Ella’s return to the village has been nothing short of dramatic. After being involved in a car crash, the disgraced receptionist stunned Liam by revealing she was carrying his kid.

    Liam didn’t respond well to the news and humiliated Ella by forcing her to take a pregnancy test. Despite all of this, Ella wants to make a future for her unborn child.

    After booking in for a scan, Ella asks Mandy Dingle if she’ll hold her hand through the appointment. She also explains she’s undergoing a paternity test to prove to Liam the baby is his.

    Liam has a change of heart

    The day before her ultrasound, things take a turn when Ella starts experiencing stomach cramps.

    She’s clearly in a lot of pain and Vanessa Woodfield advises her to go and get examined at the doctors. Ella visits the surgery and is seen by Liam, who checks her over.

    The GP is still struggling to get his head around the idea of becoming a dad again. But after talking things through with Paddy Kirk, Liam gets a fresh perspective on the situation.

    Seeking out Ella, Liam asks if he can join her at the scan, but she refuses to have him there. And who can blame her after his unkind behaviour!

    Ella and Liam are rocked by baby bombshell in Emmerdale spoilers

    A mix up with the transport results in Liam going with Ella to the hospital after all.

    The former lovers are anxious as the sonographer takes a reading and flags up a problem. But then comes the big sucker punch – no foetus can be found.

    Before anyone has the chance to explain, Liam jumps to the conclusion Ella must have invented the pregnancy.

    After all, she has a track record of not telling the truth. And if she could conceal the fact she was a killer, Liam reckons it would be easy to fake a baby.

    Seeing red, he accuses Ella of lying all along, pointing out that’s why she never wanted him at the scan.

    Ella is public enemy number one

    Back in the village, Liam is in bits as Paddy consoles him. Much like his mate, Paddy assumes the worst and is sickened how Ella could stoop so low.

    With both men convinced Ella invented there being a baby to trap Liam, Paddy declares she’s truly unhinged.

    But are they just assuming Ella’s a pathological liar without considering the other possibilities?

    Did Ella actually invent her pregnancy? Or could there be another explanation? And will Liam be willing to listen?

    1. Ella prepares to come clean

    Ella’s return to Emmerdale has thrown up lots of surprises – the biggest one being she’s expecting Liam’s baby!

    So far, Ella has only shared her news with Mandy and is working up the courage to tell her ex. But Liam is still reeling from finding out she’s a killer and Ella fears he’ll reject their unborn child too.

    Mandy still thinks Liam has a right to know and urges Ella to do the right thing by being honest.

  • Review of the week: Kim betrayed, Samson grows a backbone, and Tracy’s got a LOT to say

    Review of the week: Kim betrayed, Samson grows a backbone, and Tracy’s got a LOT to say

    Emmerdale this week has been an easy one to review because it’s been all about people making some very questionable decisions!

    Kim’s been dropped right in it by the people who are supposed to have her back, Samson’s finally done the right thing, but at what cost, and Tracy’s not exactly happy to see Ella.

    Here’s our review of the week in Emmerdale.

    Kim Tate in a blue dress poses smugly by a car

    Kim betrayed in our Emmerdale review!

    Since she arrived in the village, Rose has been on a mission to split Kim and Will up. She’s working on behalf of vengeful Ruby. We have no idea how Ruby and Rose ever crossed paths, how Ruby even knew who Rose was, or why Ruby’s so bothered about Kim when it seems Caleb’s not fussed now.

    But that’s beside the point. This week, Rose put her plan to make Kim think she’d seduced Will into action, when she was given drugs to drop into his drink. Except, the plan went a bit awry as Dawn and Kim arrived just as Rose was pouring the drinks, Will got the glasses muddled up and it was Dawn who ended taking the drugged drink.

    She crashed her car on the way to hospital but luckily wasn’t hurt. But she immediately decided it had to have been Kim who spiked her drink.

    We’re not completely sure how she came to that conclusion because as far as we could see, Kim was nowhere near the bottle when it was opened and poured. But Dawn pointed the finger, Rose went with it and even paid the drug dealer to come and demand cash from a bewildered Kim as evidence. Now everyone thinks Kim’s guilty and she’s moved out.

    Frustration!

    It’s all a bit frustrating to be honest, except for one thing. When Kim arrived at the B&B and mentioned Will paying for his betrayal, we saw a glint of something in her eye that we liked! We spotted a flash of the old Kim Tate. Remember her? The one who left a man to die and who wouldn’t let a loser like Rose walk all over her.

    So we’re not totally on board with this badly plotted, confusing Ruby/Rose revenge story. But if it brings back the legend that is Kim Tate, then we’re giving it a big thumbs up!

    Emmerdale review. Samson and Josh share a charged interaction
    Is Josh really that scary? (Credit: ITV)

    Samson did the right thing – finally!

    While we’re on the subject of things not making a whole lot of sense in this Emmerdale review, here’s something else confusing.

    Samson’s determination to leave his sort-of-cousin Matty behind bars in case he upset his new friend of six weeks, Josh, had been making us scratch our heads.

    Except this week Samson casually mentioned that Josh has scary brothers (erm, Samson – you’ve got an entire scary family, babe). We’re not sure if these scary brothers are the ones Dr Liam saw off by himself outside the pub? If so, we reckon Samson’s going to be just fine.

    Anyway, thank goodness, the young Dingle has finally seen sense and admitted what happened when Matty was stabbed. That means Matty’s out of jail and it looks like Samson’s going to be banged up himself. But will Josh and his – ahem – terrifying band of brothers also face justice? We hope so!

    Emmerdale review. Tracy Robinson [AMY WALSH] continues to berate Ella [PAULA LANE] about her suitability for the receptionist role.
    Tracy’s got real beef with Ella (Credit: ITV)

    Tracy got a bee in her bonnet

    Ella’s back in Emmerdale and frankly we’re delighted! We love Paula Lane. And we quite like the idea of a child killer living quietly in the village with everyone waiting on tenterhooks to see what she might do next. (Though it would probably be more dramatic if Emmerdale wasn’t already home to not one, not two, but THREE murderers who’d killed before they’d done their GCSEs).

    Anyway, pleased as we are to see Ella back, we’re a bit bewildered by Tracy Robinson‘s reaction. She’s got a right bee in her bonnet about the one-time killer being welcomed into the village. Plus she’s upset about Ella stealing the vet receptionist job from under Tracy’s nose! Which would all be totally understandable were it not for the fact that Kerry Wyatt and her daughter Amy KILLED Tracy and Vanessa’s dad, Frank.

    They were completely, unquestionably responsible for the factory fire that led to Frank’s death. They have Frank’s blood on their mucky hands. And yet, Tracy seems totally fine with that. She’s not fussed about those killers wandering round the village. (Actually, now we’re thinking about it, there are a LOT of murderers in Emmerdale. It’s quite a dangerous place to hang out). Maybe someone needs to remind her what the Wyatts did?

    After they break the news to the kids, Laurel [CHARLOTTE BELLAMY] asks Jai Sharma [CHRIS BISSON] to leave and move back into Holdgate

    Hooray for Laurel!

    Lauren can often seem like a bit of a wet blanket. We know though, that behind her sweet exterior is something different. She has a rock-hard, steely determination that saw her nurse Ashley through his dementia, and beat her alcoholism. And this week, she finally realised just how awful her deadbeat husband Jai is – and turfed him out! YAY, Laurel!

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ella back for good, Tom stepped up his exit

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ella back for good, Tom stepped up his exit

    Emmerdale tonight, and there was conclusive proof that Kim Tate really has had a total personality transplant – as she offered to move out of her own home to allow her ‘family’ to stay there…

    (Or was there…?)

    Kim ‘caught out’

    As we joined the final episode of the week, the fighting at Home Farm continued over who had spiked Dawn’s drinks, with Billy the only one defending poor Kim.

    Dawn was still absolutely convinced that Kim had spiked her Fauxsecco, leading to the head-on collision with Ella. Her motive? To try and make Rose look bad – like she needs any help – and turn everyone against her.

    “Yes, I’ve behaved badly in the past but don’t judge me on that, judge me on the love I’ve shown you since we became a family,” Kim pleaded.

    However, her fate appeared sealed when a man turned up at Home Farm and bellowed at Kim: “Think you can pull a fast one… that gear I sold you, I want paying.”

    What no one knew – apart from Rose – was that this man was her shady contact and she’d called him in to set Kim up.

    Dawn announced that her children weren’t safe in the house and, as soon as Billy was back from the hospital with Ethan, they’d be moving to a holiday let.

    “Evan needs a sterile environment, I refuse to jeopardise this family’s safety,” Kim protested. “So I’ll be the one who leaves here.”

    Later, Lydia found it incredulous that Kim was seemingly allowing Rose to ride rough shod over her life and self-respect.

    However Kim assured her: “I’m playing the long game, whatever she is up to she’ll expose herself soon enough and when she does, I’ll pounce.”

    Phew, there she is!

    Ella’s second chance

    Over at the cafe Mandy was enjoying a quiet drink – with Ella. Out of hospital, the child killer was back in the village.

    Knowing that she’s pregnant, Mandy wanted to help her try and get her life onto some sort of track.

    “Bit terrifying though, coming back to a place where everyone knows what I did,” Ella admitted.

    And with impeccable timing, Liam walked in, demanding to know what she was doing there.

    Mandy chided him for being so rude, but he hit back: “She lied to me, she deceived me in the cruelest way possible, I just don’t want her here, the sooner she’s gone, the better.”

    But Mandy had other ideas, arranging an interview for the role of vet receptionist for her – which incensed Tracy who was after the same job.

    When Paddy announced Ella had got the position due to having better skills, Tracy clapped back: “Skills like what, killing her best friend?”

    Tracy invited Liam to support her in her protest about Ella coming back to village life but he responded: “I’ve no opinion on the matter just as long as she stays away from me.”

    Will he change his mind when he learns the pregnancy news?

    Tom took Belle to Wales

    Meanwhile, Tom stepped up his terrifying plan to isolate Belle from her friends and family by telling her he’d booked the dream cottage in Pembrokeshire he’d recently shown her for a surprise break – and they were leaving immediately.

    It meant Belle missing a special Dingle meal to cheer up Matty, but Tom kicked her right in the conscience, saying: “I thought it’d be healing for us… after the termination.”

    Tom then made Belle leave her phone at home, arguing all they needed was each other and puppy Piper.

    What Belle doesn’t know is that Tom has secured a second interview for the vet job in the remote Welsh countryside – and he’s planning for them to stay there…
