Emmerdale Star Commits to Staying Put with New Contract | Emmerdale spoilers 29th July to 2nd August

Emmerdale fans can breathe a sigh of relief as actress Paula Lane has confirmed that her character, Ella, is staying for the foreseeable future. Ella, who joined the show earlier this year, initially appeared at a party with Mandy Dingle. The two quickly bonded, especially when teaming up against Ella’s unpleasant boss. Ella then secured a job at the doctor’s surgery, where she started a relationship with local GP Liam Cavanagh.

However, Ella’s life took a dramatic turn when her darkest secret was uncovered. Ila Harding’s investigation revealed that, at 11 years old, Ella killed her best friend due to a traumatic and abusive childhood. The friend was the only person who had given her a sense of family, and when told they could no longer be friends, Ella snapped. Despite serving her time for the crime, the incident has continued to haunt her, preventing her from settling down anywhere for long.

When Liam and the rest of the village discovered her past, they were horrified, leading Ella to flee. She recently returned with another shocking revelation—she’s pregnant. Thankfully, it seems Ella won’t be leaving again soon. Paula Lane shared in an interview with Inside Soap magazine that she has signed a new contract extending into next year. She expressed her happiness and hope that her character will continue to develop and have staying power in the show.

New producer Sophie Rimmer teased that Ella’s storyline is far from over. Her past will continue to cast a shadow over her, and her relationship with Liam will remain complicated. Fans will be left questioning whether Ella will ever achieve her happily ever after or if her troubled history will keep catching up with her.
