Emmerdale’s Paula Lane has somewhat fuelled the fan theory Ella Forster (Paula Lane) and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) are going to start an affair.

When Ella’s secret about her past and being a child killer was exposed, she found a friend in Cain.

Cain is the father of Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn), who shot Al Chapman dead after walking in on the two men fighting. While Cain being in Ella’s corner was unexpected, it certainly wasn’t a great surprise, given he knows a little about what she’s gone through.

Ella was then thrown out of the village by Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) and told to never return. In recent weeks though, Ella came back to the Dales looking for items she had left at Tenants.

She intended on popping back briefly, not wanting to get spotted by any residents, but her visit turned into something longer thanks to being involved in a car crash, and then sadly suffering what is known as an anembryonic pregnancy.

‘Yeah, most people didn’t see that one coming!’, Paula said, reflecting on the reaction from fans when Ella’s secret was revealed.

‘I’ve had a few messages actually, like via social media. All very positive on the acting front. But I think it is quite thought-provoking. You know, where you sit with it morally? Because obviously I’m a mother. If somebody did that to my child, I would find it enormously difficult to forgive.

‘That’s what’s brilliant about this storyline is that it kind of does get you questioning it quite a lot. On the whole, I feel like people sort of believe that she served her time. That’s where the majority kind of sits from what I’ve seen.’
