's Paula Lane has opened up about the fan theories swirling around her character Ella Forster and the notorious killer nurse Meena Jutla, who is in jail. The newcomer, who arrived in the Dales earlier this year, was quick to have fans chatting as it emerged she was keeping a murky secret unknown to her neighbours. A theory among viewers linked Ella directly to the jailbird Meena (Paige Sandhu), who killed Leanna Cavanagh, Ben Tucker and Andrea Tate.
The plot thickened when Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) opened up about his daughter Leanna's death, and Ella, the new lady in his life, raised eyebrows with her reaction. There was more gossip brewing as details emerged Ella having a pal who nudged her towards nursing career, creepy similarity to Meena. However, it was revealed that Ella actually killed her best friend back when she was a child.
Ella and Meena have no threads linking them but actress Paula Lane isn't shutting down an unexpected twist. Chatting with Metro, she had a giggle at the rumours but teased: "I enjoyed reading them to begin with just because I found them quite funny. "Because obviously, there's absolutely zero connection unless she's come across her in prison.
So you never know, them crossing paths could be a theory." spoilers hint that things are set to get rough for Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) as she lands in the firing line of a rattled Ella, who's hitting boiling point over a grim flashback. Ella is planning a quiet birthday, as it coincides with the anniversary of the tragic incident when she accidentally killed her friend Joanne at the age of 11.
However, Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) insists on celebrating Ella's special day and offers her a complete makeover at the beauty salon. Mandy takes before and after photos to highlight Ella's transformation, but oversteps boundaries by sharing them on the salon's social media platforms without consent. This infuriates Ella, who reminds Mandy that she prefers to keep a low profile due to her past criminal record.
Later, Joanne's cousin Gary shows up in the village to confront Ella about their shared history. Gary intensifies Ella's guilt by presenting her with a picture of Joanne. A distraught Ella tries to escape, but Gary chases after her.
Amid the ensuing chaos, Ella falls and Wendy steps in to take her to the GP surgery for a check-up. While waiting at the clinic, the stress of the day overwhelms Ella and she lashes out at Wendy. Will this incident raise concerns about whether Ella has truly changed?.
