Someone in Emmerdale has been targeting Manpreet over the images she has been using online, and the only person she has turned to is Ella.
And after the last few episodes, viewers are convinced they have worked out exactly who is behind the messages. But, it’s bad news for Manpreet.
It seems many suspect that her close pal Ella isn’t being as friendly as Manpreet may think. Right now, she is viewers’ main suspect in the blackmailing case. And they have the evidence to back it up.
Is Ella blackmailing Manpreet in Emmerdale?
Ever since she came to the village fans have wanted more from Ella. When we heard about her past as a murderer, viewers thought the show was going to go down the route of psycho Ella.
Then when Liam got with Chas, many suspected that may bring out her crazy side. But again, it didn’t.
Months then passed, and nothing ever came from it. So perhaps all that time Ella was actually just sitting waiting for her perfect opportunity.
Taking to X, a fan proposed the idea that Ella is the one behind the whole thing – to get revenge on Liam.
They wrote: “I think Manpreet’s blackmailer is Ella. I know she would be the obvious choice, but she is leaving. And I think it’s because she is still hurt over Liam and Chas. So, she ultimately wants to destroy the practice so he suffers.”
Other than Ella being the one Manpreet chose to open up to, she also is conveniently always around. And so, she has the perfect opportunities.
Another penned on X: “I still think it’s Ella blackmailing Manpreet. Who else could it be?”
A third user commented: “Ella definitely has something to do with this blackmailing. She is always the one finding things.”
What would this mean for Ella?
If it comes out that she is the blackmailer, then she can kiss goodbye to her job at the surgery. And without her job, she doesn’t have any other involvement in the village.
A while back it was reported that Paula Lane was leaving the role of Ella after one year.
The news first came after Paula put on her own Talent Spotlight page that she would finish filming Emmerdale in February.
So, if that timeline has stayed correct, that would mean we’re very close to Ella’s exit – even though some already thought she had left with her lack of appearances.
The theory of Ella being the blackmailer seems to be strong, especially as it provides her an exit storyline. But whether or not it is true, viewers have to just wait and see.
