Paula Lane reveals Ella’s future on the soap after pregnancy bombshell: ‘Very happy for the next chapter’
Ella Forster is causing all sorts of trouble for Liam
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.
Ella’s pregnancy bombshell
After telling Liam that she is pregnant with his baby, he is ignoring her. Later this week Mandy confronts Liam and demands he start behaving better towards the future mother of his child. Liam agrees to talk to Ella – and makes her do a pregnancy test to confirm her baby claims.
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?
