Emmerdale history to repeat itself as fans 'work out' Ella's link to Meena Jutla victim
Emmerdale fans have grown even more suspicious of Ella Forster - and it looks like her secret will be exposed very soon.
Emmerdale: Ella snaps at Mandy Dingle over her photo
Emmerdale's newcomer Ella Forster (played by Paula Lane) has left fans speculating about her mysterious past in the latest episode of the popular ITV soap. The character has been behaving oddly for some time, leading viewers to believe she is harbouring a secret or two.
Some fans are even suggesting a connection between Ella and former character and serial killer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu), especially after the recent episode dropped new hints.
Spoilers had previously revealed that Ella was homeless and living out of her car while being romantically involved with Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson). Later this week, she is set to visit an unknown character in a care home. On Tuesday, she moved her belongings into Liam's house after he offered her a place to stay.
However, during the move, with Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) lending a hand, some items were accidentally knocked over. Among them was a photograph of two young girls which Mandy picked up, causing Ella to react sharply.
Ella quickly took the picture from Mandy, and viewers got a good look at it. While it wasn't clear who the girls in the photo were, Ella's reaction suggested she might be one of them and knew the other mystery girl.

After her outburst, Ella apologised and explained that she was protective of her possessions, prompting Mandy to leave the room.
But the question remains: who are the girls in the photograph and what does it signify?
Viewers are now convinced that they've seen a similar photo before, possibly in the possession of killer Meena.
If this theory holds true, then either Ella and Meena know the same people, or perhaps they are the ones in the photo.

Emmerdale enthusiasts have been piecing together clues after spotting a photograph that could link Ella to the notorious Meena. Theories abound on social media, with one viewer speculating: "Is Ella the sister of the girl Meena killed? " while another pondered: "Maybe Ella is related to one of Meena's victims."
Some fans recalled a similar image among Meena's prized possessions, with comments like: "Did Meena not have a similar photo in her treasures box?"
The intrigue deepened as another fan echoed the sentiment: "Oooh now that photo looked a bit familiar. Did Meena not have a similar photo in her treasures box?"
The speculation didn't stop there, with guesses flying about the identities of those pictured, including one fan asking: "WAS THAT CAROL IN THE PHOTO! ? AS IN THE CRAZY WOMAN THAT STABBED MEENA?" (sic)
Debate continues as viewers try to connect the dots, with one suggesting: "It's Ella and Meena I wonder if they are sisters or maybe Meena is Ella's mother."
Curiosity is rampant, with another fan questioning: "Was that Meena in the photo?" as another agreed: "Ella and Meena?"
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
