    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?

    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.

    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?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Cain and Charity’s horrible discovery at Belle and Tom’s ‘getaway’

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Cain and Charity’s horrible discovery at Belle and Tom’s ‘getaway’

    Emmerdale tonight saw at least some of the Dingles finally catching onto what has been poking them in the face for months: Belle is married to an utter wrong un and very probably in real danger…

    Cain and Charity made a horrible Belle discovery

    The episode began with Cain looking wistful, as he held his phone.

    “Just trying to get hold of our Belle,” he told Moira. “Vanessa saw her going off with Tom in his car.”

    His missus tried to reassure him that they’d probably just decided to go away last-minute for a bit of time out.

    But Cain continued: “Only, Paddy saw an email only meant for Tom off some vets in Wales offering him a second interview.

    “They’re not moving!”

    He added that he’d also tried to call Tom, but there was no answer.

    Moira concluded: “She’ll be fine, I’m sure, don’t worry.”

    Now, we all know what a sentence like that means in Soapland!

    Later Charity spotted a woman knocking at Belle and Tom’s door, who eventually confided that she is Rachel, Belle’s care coordinator from the community mental health team.

    Belle had missed a routine appointment, Rachel explained, so she wanted to check in on her.

    When Charity mentioned she was worried about Belle, she noted by Rachel’s face that she was too.

    With that, Charity told Cain they needed to go and look round the couple’s cottage for clues as to their whereabouts.

    “I’m breaking in, I’ve got a really crappy feeling about this, Cain,” she declared.

    Once inside the house, baffled Charity gasped: “Get a load of this, door and window censors everywhere – what’s he need this for?”

    She then found a notebook listing everything Belle and Tom spend, including on coffees, flowers and birthday cards.

    “Do you reckon he’s quizzing her on everything she spends? Why do I get the feeling he’s running the show here?” Charity added.

    When they then found an address for a cottage in Pembroke – and Belle’s phone – Charity was adamant they get to Wales, pronto.

    Worse findings followed at the Welsh cottage... including blood on the door. “What’s he done to her?” Charity asked, panic rising in her voice.

    Cain replied: “Whatever he’s done, he’s a dead man.”

    Liam struggled with Ella’s pregnancy news

    Across the village, Chas paid Liam a visit.

    “Chas I owe you an apology, finding out the way you did, ” he said, referencing Ella’s pregnancy.

    “Granted it was a bit of a shock but not as much as for you, I’m guessing,” she replied.

    Liam admitted that he was feeling like he was slowly drowning and wondering, “Why me?”

    He added: “How am I supposed to get my head around any of this? It’s not just the emotional minefield of being a dad again after Leanna, it’s doing it all with her.

    “I’ve told her we’re over for good, there’s no chance we are ever getting back together.”

    “I can barely bring myself to look at her, truth be told.”

    He continued: “Losing Leanna was the worst thing to happen to me, the idea of being that vulnerable again, but in a worse set of circumstances… it terrifies me.

    “She had no right to do this, she said she was on the pill. How do I know she didn’t plan this, get pregnant on purpose?”

    Then he got to the crux of what’s bothering him most, asking Chas: “And I’m aware this situation with Ella probably also rules me out of other relationships?”

    “Probably,” Chas replied.

    Later, Tracy ran into Ella and accused her of lying about being pregnant and ruining Liam’s life.

    Ella protested: “I need to speak to him and explain, I haven’t done this on purpose, I’ve not done this to trap him.”

    But when she knocked on Liam’s door, he hid inside staring at a photograph of his late daughter…

    Leanna Cavanagh: Her sad family history and tragic murder

    Leanna Cavanagh seemed like the girl who had it all – a doting father, a handsome boyfriend, and big plans for her bright future.

    But her life was cruelly taken away when she was murdered by Dales serial killer Meena Jutla.

    So what was Leanna’s story and what happened to her?

    Leanna Cavanagh was played by Mimi Slinger

    Early days in Emmerdale for Leanna Cavanagh

    Leanna was introduced to the Emmerdale viewers in early 2018, as the troubled teenage daughter of Dr Liam Cavanagh.

    As a little girl, Leanna had lost her mum, and though when she was first on screen she was mean and unkind, her backstory made her seem more sympathetic.

    Jacob and Leanna

    Leanna and Jacob hit it off straightaway but their first night together ended in disaster, when Jacob was nasty to Leanna.

    They did reconcile, but Jacob went to stay in Portugal for a while, leaving Leanna feeling lonely.

    Making friends – or not!

    Leanna was a difficult person to like at first. She used Amelia Spencer’s disappearance to her advantage and when Amelia returned, made her life difficult and bullied her.

    And she started a rivalry with Gabby, too, trying to get her fired from her job as a waitress.

    Leanne causes trouble for dad Liam Cavanagh in Emmerdale

    Of course, the real focus of Leanna’s scheming and troublemaking was always her dad’s partners.

    She loathed Maya Stepney – her dad’s partner who cheated with David Metcalfe (and who later groomed and abused Jacob).

    And she also took against Bernice – Liam’s new girlfriend – taking increasingly nasty steps to cause trouble for her.

    But when Leanna made snide remarks that encouraged Bernice to buy dodgy Botox online, things began to change.

    Sad story

    Bernice had an anaphylactic shock reaction to the Botox, she nearly died. Leanna’s mother died from an allergic reaction, and the storyline revealed a new side to the troublesome teenager.

    After that, Bernice and Leanna rubbed along quite nicely – until Liam snogged Leyla!

    Leanna tried her best to split her dad and Leyla, until she succeeded, when she did an about-turn and focused all her attention on getting them back together!

    Leanna’s death

    By summer 2021, Leanna had become a much more popular member of the Emmerdale community. She was happily loved-up with Jacob, and the pair were planning to go travelling.

    On the day of Leanna’s 18th birthday, stepmum Leyla was getting a party ready for Leanna.

    But unfortunately for Leanna, she discovered that Meena was the one who’d stolen the money from the Pride event. And then she worked out that Meena had killed her friend Nadine, too.

    Underestimating just how dangerous Meena was, Leanna legged it with the Dales killer in hot pursuit.

    After a confrontation on the bridge between the pair, Meena threw her former friend over the wall and sent her crashing into the river.

    What happened to murderous Meena?

    Meena went on to kill Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker. After a LOT of drama she was eventually apprehended and is currently in prison for life.

    Who played Leanna Cavanagh in Emmerdale?

    Leanna was played by actress and model Mimi Slinger. She’s since appeared in Masters of the Air on Apple TV+ and has signed with modelling agency Storm.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?

    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…

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Matty was freed, Jai moved out of Laurel’s

    Emmerdale tonight was an hour long, after the soap missed an episode on ITV last night – and there was drama galore!

    Top of the list was Matty’s release from prison. Everyone else was so happy to see him a free man but he was in a state of trauma.

    Emmerdale tonight: Matty’s free but is Samson going inside?

    The same day started dramatically differently for two Dingle households, with Sam and Lydia having another blazing row, while Moira was feeling positive about Matty’s future.

    Sam had convinced himself that Samson would be heading inside for lying about the stabbing.

    “It’s only a matter of time before they charge him, and not just with what he’s confessed to but for lying in the first place, perverting the course of justice.

    “You’ve got no idea what you’ve done, either of you,” he snapped at his wife and son.

    Samson replied that he knew his dad had hit Cain, but no one else was to blame for what had happened – and then laid down a bizarre challenge.

    “Go on, hit me. It might make you feel better,” he said.

    “It’s a bit late for that now,” Sam replied mournfully.

    When alone with Lydia, Sam finally admitted: “I won’t turn my back on him, but Cain was right, after what he’s done I’m ashamed to call him my son. Maybe I was too soft on him, somewhere along the line I’ve failed him.
    “Nothing I can do now, he’s on his own, and no idea what’s coming his way.”

    Later, Matty did indeed walk from prison – and a tense run-in with Samson ensued.

    “I wouldn’t wish prison on anyone,” Matty said and, assuming Samson’s fate was already sealed, added: “Just keep your head down and your mouth shut – and tell the truth, you can’t let someone like Josh get away with it.”

    Hmmm, all these hints at Samson not having a clue what’s about to hit him… will he be exiting the village permanently – and in a wooden box?

    Laurel and Jai at war?

    The rain cloud reached Laurel and Jai’s house in Emmerdale tonight, where they agreed to tell all their kids about their split – although he was definitely still trying to avoid it.

    “So soon after your heart attack… it’s a lot for them,” he pleaded. But Laurel had no intention of changing her mind.

    With Arthur away in Australia, the former couple broke the news to Archie and Dotty at home, who took it as well as small children could.
    And with that chore ticked off the list, Laurel moved on to the next: Operation Get Jai out of the House.
    Jai reluctantly agreed to move back into his family home, assuming Archie would be right by his side – “He’s my son, Laurel, where I go he goes.”

    However, Archie had other plans – staying put with Laurel and his ‘sister’, as he cutely called Dotty.

    Emmerdale tonight: Rose stepped up her plan – but, er, what actually is it?

    Whether he’s secretly finding Rose a temptation under his roof or genuinely wants her gone, Will tells his ex that it’s time she found somewhere else to rest her head.

    But Rose has no intention of moving on and protested that Dawn and the kids like having her at home, and her leaving would just punish them.

    Later, she was briefly on a call to Bali, where Ruby is on holiday, telling her they need to move their plan on.

    Before the day was out, a shady stranger handed Rose a brown envelope that contained a small bottle with clear liquid in it.

    “Careful, there’s enough there to put an elephant down,” the mystery man warned. “You’ll receive further instructions in due course.”

    Is murder afoot? Or a plan to drug Will to get him into a compromising position?

    Liam and Chas kissing in a tree?

    Elsewhere the village’s GPs Manpreet and Liam idly chatted about their disastrous love lives.
    While Manpreet subscribed to the old adage the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else, Liam was resolute that – with his track record – he’s better off staying single.

    His colleague protested that he clearly had unfinished business with Chas (Lucy Pargeter) after their one-night stand.
    And she’d clearly hit on something as, when Chas later suggested they have a drink together, he happily agreed.
