Emmerdale fans believe they’ve figured out who Ella Forster was visiting in the care home.
Ella, a new character, made a dramatic entrance into the village earlier this year when she threw a drink over her boss Jules and quit her job on the spot, defending Mandy Dingle at a vets social. Since then, Ella has secured a job as a receptionist at the surgery and started a romance with co-worker Dr Liam Cavanagh.
However, Ella’s behaviour has raised suspicions among viewers, as it’s clear she’s hiding something. In recent episodes, Ella caused concern in the village after it was revealed she was sleeping in her car.

After moving into Liam’s house when he discovered this, she snapped at close friend Mandy when she saw her looking at an old photo. Adding to the mystery, Ella refused to be photographed at the village fete and abruptly left on Wednesday.

In Thursday’s episode, more hints were dropped about Ella’s secret as she visited a mysterious elderly woman with dementia at a care home. They looked through an old photo album together, pausing at a picture of the older woman working with a group of girls at a cigarette factory, reports the Mirror.
During the scene, Ella disclosed that she had been visiting for some time, and they both expressed how fortunate they were to have each other.
However, in a heartbreaking moment, the elderly lady forgot and repeated her request to go through the photo album again. Ella responded: “Who cares, it’s our thing, we love it! ” The old woman asked: “Were we once very sad about something?” as Manpreet Sharma coincidentally walked into the hallway; she had been visiting a care home resident with suspected shingles.

Later on, Ella called out Manpreet in the hallway, accusing her of snooping. Taken aback, Manpreet assured Ella that she was merely conducting a doctor’s visit.
After riding in silence with Manpreet to take her home, Ella made her co-worker swear not to spill their secret. If her spying or gossiping continued, Ella warned, she would instantly leave the town.
Ella, choked up, spoke about the mysterious elderly woman: “She is the most important thing, the most. Whatever time I’ve got left with her, it’s time I never thought I’d get. That I don’t deserve. I have to cherish each bit. It’s between me and her. It’s deep and it’s private. I’m all she’s got”, to which Manpreet pledged to keep everything under wraps.

Emmerdale fans have taken to Twitter to share their theories, with many convinced that newcomer Ella is somehow connected to the notorious Meena Jutla. One viewer tweeted: “I reckon Meena murdered Ella’s mom/granny’s daughter? “, while another speculated: “Manpreet catching Ella… is that a clue about who this story will involve?” and a third chimed in: “Still think Ella connected to Leanna or Meena.”
In other tweets, one person pondered: “I’m getting the idea that Ella lost a child, and that maybe this woman was there when it happened?” another suggested: “So Ella’s done something that’s upset old lady in the past causing a fall out the lady now has dementia so can’t remember so will talk to Ella again?” and yet another fan mused: “I get the feeling the lady Ella is visiting is someone else’s mum.”
