Ella had a rough day and it's taking a toll on her. In the upcoming episode of Emmerdale, her character will be put under scrutiny as she acts out towards a beloved friend after a particularly challenging day. As we all know, Ella arrived in the village earlier this year and it didn't take long for viewers to realize that she was hiding a big secret. Despite working as a GP's receptionist and making friends with the locals, her life was turned upside down when her tragic past was revealed by Leyla Harding. As a child, Ella accidentally killed her best friend Joanne and was sent to prison for it.
This news came as a shock to everyone, with many villagers turning their backs on her. The only person who sympathized with her was Cain Dingle, as his own son had gone through a similar experience when he accidentally killed Al Chapman. Unable to handle the backlash, Ella was forced to leave the village by Liam, who was also struggling with the loss of his own child, Leanna, who was murdered by Meena Jutla.
After a few weeks away, Ella returned to gather her belongings, but her friend Mandy convinced her to stay and fight to prove that she is not the cold-blooded killer everyone believes her to be. Despite her doubts, Ella decided to do just that.
However, her efforts may be in vain as something devastating happens next week that could undo all of her hard work. Mandy finds out that Ella's 30th birthday is approaching and makes it her mission to celebrate. She surprises Ella with a beauty treatment and shares before and after photos on the salon's social media. Ella is furious and demands that the photos be taken down immediately. In a fit of anger, she destroys her birthday cake and storms off to the footbridge, where Liam follows her to try and calm her down.
Eventually, Ella agrees to go to her surprise party, but things take a turn for the worse when June's nephew, Gary, shows up and causes a scene. Rhona tells Ella that Mandy uploaded the photos to the salon's website, causing Ella to panic and flee. Gary gives chase and Ella falls to the ground, triggering something in her that makes her lose control. She takes out her frustrations on her birthday cake, shocking Mandy and her friends.
Wendy Posner comes to Ella's aid and tries to calm her down, but Ella lashes out at her in a fit of survival instinct. Paula Lane, who plays Ella, explains that her character feels like she doesn't belong in this world and that she may be safer somewhere else. She questions whether Ella has truly lost it or if she is just putting on a front.
The big question is, how far will Ella go? Has she truly changed or is she still capable of violence? And most importantly, will Wendy be okay?
