Ella looks to the future in Emmerdale spoilers

It’s Ella’s 30th and she’s finally in the mood to celebrate after a day of ups and downs.

Mandy surprised her with a makeover experience at PampaManda. But Ella was horrified to find her friend had posted images of her face on the salon’s socials.

Fearing this meant people from her past would be able to track her down, Ella freaked out and smashed up her birthday cake. But a pep talk from ex-partner Liam has given Ella the encouragement to enjoy what’s left of her day.

And as Ella arrives at her birthday party, she’s feeling the love from the locals. At last, it seems, Ella can escape her painful past. Or is that just wishful thinking?

Ella is confronted by her past

With the party in full swing, Ella is really starting to relax and enjoy herself. Liam surprises her with a small star pendant, and Ella hopes the gift signals a fresh start for them both.

But her newfound happiness is suddenly shattered by the arrival of an unexpected guest.

It’s Gary – the nephew of June, who viewers will remember was the late mother of Joanne, the girl who Ella killed when they were just 11.

It’s clear from the off Gary isn’t here to give Ella his best wishes. Approaching her in a quietly aggressive manner, Gary hands Ella a picture of Joanne. It’s a calculated move, designed to cause maximum pain. Which, of course, it does.

The sight of the innocent girl whose life she took all those years ago sends Ella spiraling.

Ella turns on Wendy

Consumed with terror and fear, Ella rushes outside as Gary chases after her. She’s not far up the road when she crumbles to the ground in a tearful heap.

But before Gary can do any more damage, Wendy intervenes. She manages to usher Ella away as Gary storms off full of grief and anger.

Wendy takes Ella to the surgery waiting room so she can calm down. But things take a turn when Ella violently lashes out at Wendy. The frenzied attack seemingly comes out of nowhere – just as it did when Ella murdered Joanne.

Will Ella cause Wendy a serious injury? What will the repercussions be? And is this the last we’ve seen of Gary?
