Emmerdale has teased a new love triangle next week on the hit ITV soap, which is sure to cause drama.
Earlier this year, feisty new character Ella Forster, played by actress Paula Lane, made her village debut at the vets social, where she befriended Mandy Dingle and quit her PA role working for rude loud-mouthed managing director Jules.
Later in the week, Manpreet Sharma overheard Ella looking for a job and after realising she was a PA, offered her a position as a receptionist at the doctor's. Next week sees Ella settle into working at the surgery and it's not long until there's chemistry with one character.
Wendy Posner detects a spark between Ella and doctor Liam Cavanagh but will the two decide to explore their connection? It comes as Liam, who is newly-divorced from Leyla Harding and previously had an affair with Wendy, recently had a romance with Chas Dingle. With a spark with Ella, could Liam's exes be jealous and a potential love triangle be on the cards?
