Emmerdale killer returns after sudden exit - and it's not good news for Liam

Emmerdale child killer Ella Forster make a dramatic return to the village next week and it doesn't end well.

She made her debut earlier this year and it didn’t take fans long to figure out that she was hiding a huge secret.

Viewers wondered that if she was a friend of Meena Jutla’s (Paige Sandhu) but it was later revealed that Ella killed her best friend when she was just 11 years old and subsequently went to prison.

Ella has moved from place to place over the years, always having to move on when someone inevitably found out about her past.

Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) was in a relationship with Ella at the time her secret was revealed and was appalled to discover the truth, particularly given that he knows what it’s like to lose a child after Meena murdered his beloved Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger).

He put Ella in her car and ordered her to leave the village, leaving fans curious to know if this was the last we’d see of Ella.

However, Emmerdale spoilers have confirmed that Ella will be back in scenes set to air next week.

Manpreet Sharma (Rebeca Sarker) encourages her colleague Liam to rekindle things with ex lover Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) when he resigns himself to remaining single. The next day, a mysterious figure watches on. Later, Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) realises there’s an intruder - it’s Ella.

Fragile Ella admits she is back to collect the rest of her things. As Ella leaves, Mandy is conflicted. Before long, Sam Dingle (James Hooton) calls the ambulance service to alert them to a crash on a country road involving Ella’s car. Is she ok?

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
