Emmerdale fans, brace yourselves! Paula Lane, who portrays Ella Forster, has shared some exciting news about her future on the popular ITV soap. Lane, who joined Emmerdale earlier this year, took to Instagram to reveal that she has renewed her contract and will not be leaving the Yorkshire Dales anytime soon. She shared a behind-the-scenes photo of herself as Ella, sporting a bruised face and wearing a hospital gown, captioned with, “Oh Ella, whatever next?”

Lane expressed her happiness about continuing her journey on Emmerdale, stating, “I can confirm a new contract signed today. Very happy to be calling Emmerdale my second home for the next chapter.” Fellow cast member Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, quickly showed her excitement by commenting, “Amen to this!”

Currently, Ella is trying to move on from her troubled past in an ongoing storyline. Having spent many years in prison for murdering her friend as a child, this dark history has haunted her and ruined her relationship with Liam Kavanagh. However, things take an even darker turn this week when Liam discovers that Ella is pregnant with his child. Distrustful, Liam demands a paternity test, suspecting Ella of lying about the pregnancy when the doctor cannot find a fetus during her scan.

But there’s more to this story than meets the eye. Johnny Merson, who plays Liam, hinted at the complicated future of their relationship, especially after Liam felt utterly betrayed and devastated upon learning about Ella’s past. “I think this relationship is now almost definitely cooked. I mean, never say never, but I would say it’s almost definitely it. I don’t think there is any coming back from it,” Merson said.

As the drama unfolds, viewers will be on the edge of their seats to see how these revelations impact Ella and Liam’s relationship and what new twists await Ella in the Yorkshire Dales. Stay tuned to Emmerdale for all the latest developments and more jaw-dropping moments!
