Emmerdale’s latest episode tugged at heartstrings as it unravelled the evolving bond between Liam Cavanagh and Ella Forster drawing them closer amid shared grief.
At the start of the week, Ella (Paula Lane) was blindsided with agony upon receiving the devastating news of her baby’s demise. Initially, she had been hesitant to have Liam (Jonny McPherson), the dad-to-be, with her during a key ultrasound.
Yet fate intervened and threw the pair together when travel troubles meant Liam was at Ella’s side during the critical hospital visit. Tension soared when the sonographer couldn’t find the baby on the scan, prompting an outraged Liam to accuse Ella of faking her pregnancy.
“Ella, you’re not pregnant and you never were,” he blasted furiously. “That’s why you didn’t want me to tag along. It makes perfect sense now.”

Back in the village with tempers flaring, Liam was clueless that Ella’s pregnancy had been genuine all along. The harsh truth emerged only after Ella’s chat with Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) – she’d suffered a silent miscarriage, a cruel twist of nature known as a blighted ovum or anembryonic pregnancy, leaving Liam awash with remorse and self-blame.
Liam, seeking a shoulder to lean on, poured his heart out to Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), admitting he felt “ashamed” of how he’d treated Ella and recognised his own shortcomings.

Later on, Liam bumped into Ella in the village. The GP asked her to hang out, confessing he didn’t want to be on his own after their heartbreaking miscarriage.
As they spent time together, Ella blamed herself for the miscarriage, haunted by her past when she accidentally killed another child at just 11 years old.

Liam was quick to console her, insisting that their baby’s death wasn’t on her. Their mutual sorrow led to an embrace, which soon turned into a kiss.
Could this be the start of a rekindled romance for Liam and Ella?
