ITV Emmerdale exit 'sealed' for legend as fans fear 'murder' twist

by · Manchester Evening News

Emmerdale viewers are worried for the safety of Liam Cavanagh after his ex-partner Ella Forster, played by Paula Lane, seems to have developed an obsession with him.

In recent episodes, Liam, portrayed by Jonny McPherson, ended things with Ella to pursue a relationship with Chas Dingle, played by Lucy Pargeter, following a mutual confession of feelings and a kiss.

Liam ended his relationship with Ella but has not yet explained his interest in Chas. The GP has been secretly seeing his new girlfriend and was caught out by John Sugden.

Ella, who has a dark history involving the murder of a childhood friend at the age of 11, seemed to have turned over a new leaf as an adult. However, during Wednesday's episode of the ITV soap (November 27), Liam appeared apprehensive as Ella tried to monitor his every move.

Liam informed surgery receptionist Ella that he needed to leave the practice temporarily, but she attempted to thwart his plans by arranging a 'last minute appointment', leaving him puzzled, reports Leeds Live.

Liam retorted and insisted Ella contact Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker). As he left the surgery, she followed him before being distracted by Brenda (Lesley Dunlop).

Later at The Woolpack, John, played by Oliver Farnworth, interrupted Chas and Liam sharing a passionate kiss and urged them to inform Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and Ella about their relationship before they hear it from someone else.

Liam's return to the surgery was met with immediate suspicion from Ella, who sensed he was not being truthful about his whereabouts. Inquisitive, she probed further to unveil that Liam's supposed 'patient' appointment was actually in Rome.

Ella's increasingly intrusive actions have prompted Emmerdale viewers to speculate on the potential for a darker narrative twist, which could spell peril for Liam.

On social media platform X, fans expressed their concerns and theories. One viewer remarked: "The psycho in Ella is coming out...#Emmerdale".

Another pointedly asked: "Why is Ella being a bunny boiler. Thought her and Liam finished ages ago. #Emmerdale."

One fan bluntly stated: "Ella doesn't want people to think she's a psycho... Going the right way about it #Emmerdale."

Adding to the chorus of alarmed voices, another added, complete with menacing knife emojis: "Ella really over stepping her duties to find out what Dr love rods up to".

Speculating on the extremity of the upcoming storyline, another fan queried: "Ella going to do another murder? #Emmerdale".

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV and ITVX
