In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, May 20), Ella makes excuses as to why she can’t stay over the night at Liam’s house.
She then goes back to her car, having been sleeping in it without Liam knowing.
But, as Ella’s clearly hiding something, here are all of theories on what her secret could be…
Emmerdale Ella secret theory 1. Ella is Meena’s ex cell-mate
Perhaps the most popular theory about Ella is that she has a connection to Emmerdale serial killer, Meena Jutla.
Working with Liam and Manpreet, Ella’s heard a lot about Meena, acting uncomfortable over the topic.
Now, fans think that she’s Meena’s ex friend and former cell mate.
One fan suggested: “Gotcha. Liam mentions Meena, and Ella decides to scarper… Ella knows Meena from inside those prison cells. Curious to know why Ella was inside.”
2. She had an unstable upbringing
Liam’s asked Ella about her family and upbringing but Ella hasn’t shared much background information with him. She’s been keeping her personal life a secret, telling Liam that she wasn’t really close to her family.
Now, a theory reckons that Ella may have had a bad upbringing, going into care.
One fan shared: “I wonder if Ella was brought up in care? She seemed to brush off the subject of her parents with Liam.”
3. Someone murdered her daughter
Viewers will know that Meena murdered Liam’s daughter, Leanna. Whilst at Liam’s, Ella took a special interest in looking a photo of his late daughter.
Now, a new fan theory suggests that Ella’s daughter met a similar fate as to that of Leanna.
The fan theory read: “IMO I think Ella had a daughter that was also murdered like Leanna. That’s the connection.”
4. She’s got relatives in the village
Some fans believe that Ella is related to one or more current villagers. They think that she could be related to Dawn. Or, even Tom King.
One fan wrote: “I actually think Ella and Dawn look like possible siblings.”
A second person added: “The new rumour is Ella has a link to Tom.”
Emmerdale Ella secret theory 5. Ella stole someone’s identity
Ella has mentioned her old friend Caitlin before. Now, a fan reckons that Ella is actually her…
The fan theory suggests: “Ella’s really Caitlin. She killed the real Ella and stole her identity…”
