Emmerdale's Ella Forster's 'darkest secrets' set to finally be exposed in DNA twist

Emmerdale fans have been speculating that Ella Forster (played by Paula Lane) is connected to serial killer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) for weeks.

She's been cosying up to Doctor Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) whose daughter Leanna (Mimi Slinger) was killed by Meena several years ago on the ITV soap.

Fans are wondering if she is getting close to Liam due to having a "link" to the convicted serial killer.

In upcoming scenes, Liam learns a secret about Ella which leaves him taken aback.

ITV soap spoilers have revealed Ella panics when Liam suggests staying at her place, but she is able to deflect his offer.

Later on, on the village outskirts, viewers will see Ella bed down in her car as they discover she's lacking a permanent place to reside.

The following morning, Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) finds Ella sleeping rough while she's on her morning run.

Red-faced over the situation, Ella begs Manpreet not to tell Liam about her sleeping arrangements.

So Ella is left furious when Manpreet clumsily admits to Liam she found her sleeping in her car during a work chat.

Later on, Liam suggests Ella temporarily move into his spare room and the latter eventually agrees.

Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) helps Ella unpack, but when she spots an old photograph in Mandy's hands, she snaps at the longtime villager.

Things take a mysterious turn when Ella refuses to let a photographer take a picture of her, and she scarpers.

During a beer, Mandy advises Liam to make sure Ella has no skeletons in her closet before their relationship gets more serious.

However, Ella's left rattled by Liam's intrusive questions and flees the house.

Later on, Ella visits a care home, but who is she visiting?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITX.
