Emmerdale fan theory suggests Ella will set fire to the Woolpack - with Liam and Chas inside

For a while, viewers have been thinking that in Emmerdale Ella has the potential to make some of the villagers suffer. Mixed with her history, and that she just found out about Chas and Liam, will she make them pay?

When Liam broke up with Ella recently, she specifically asked if she was seeing anyone else – and he said no. But in reality he and Chas were wanting to give things another go together.

Not only did their break up result in Ella moving out of her home, but she also temporarily didn’t have a job. So she really hasn’t had the easiest of times lately.

And so, because of all of this Chas and Liam agreed to keep their romance quiet for a while.

Emmerdale Ella pushed too far?

But at the end of the day, nothing stays a secret for long in Emmerdale. Thursday’s episode saw Ella’s fears confirmed, as she put the pieces together.

However, in Emmerdale Ella is not someone you would want to mess with. For months fans have been wondering what will tip her over the edge and bring her dark side out. And many think it’s this.

Viewers believe that while Ella may not seem psycho to others in the village, the other side of her is waiting to come out.

Over the last few weeks she has turned into somewhat of a stalker regarding Liam. From constantly wanting to know where he is to needing to know who he is with, it looks like her true colours are starting to show.

While many have predicted she will go for revenge when she learns the truth – a new theory has even suggested how she may do it.

One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Is Ella going to set fire to the Woolpack with Chas and Liam inside?…Psycho [expletive].”

The Woolpack would indeed be a good choice for location for Ella’s revenge, as it tends to be the place for dramatic storylines to reach their peak.

The theory was backed up by another user, who wrote: “Has it been on fire recently? I remember it blew up when Meena was in the show.”

Could Ella kill Chas and Liam in huge Woolpack fire?

This is true, as back in 2021, Al Chapman decided wrecking the pub was his only way to get out of debt, and so he put a whisk into the microwave.

For a while after this the pub was closed, while refurbishments and the legal side of things were ongoing. So it has actually been a while since a big event happened there.

As Chas still currently resides there, could Ella aim to take away her home, job and her life?

It’s safe to say out of all the theories, this one is our favourite. Not only would it add some more drama to the village, but it also brings Emmerdale back to it’s centre; the pub.

We wouldn’t be opposed to seeing how that would all play out!
