The Replacement viewers have a theory about Paula's daughter after dramatic cliffhanger
THE REPLACEMENT had viewers talking tonight as they watched a scene in which Paula brought her daughter into work.
Paula takes her daughter to work on The Replacement
After suspecting foul play in Paula's family life, Ellen (played by Morven Christie) got in contact with her daughter Caris via instant messenger.
But, it was soon revealed that it was in fact Paula (Vicky McClure) replying to the messages and not Caris.
The next day Paula brought her daughter into the office to meet Ellen in an attempt to allay her suspicions.
However, something was not quite right as Caris answered questions in a wooden manner and refused Ellen's offer of a tour around the building.

That isn't her daughter
Later on, Ellen and her husband Ian (Richard Rankin) were invited to Paula's house where they were told that Caris was "on a sleepover".
Those watching at home suspected that the girl in the office was no relation to Paula.
One viewer said: "#TheReplacement still dont think thats her daughter."
"Is Paula's daughter dead? #thereplacement," another asked.

"That isn't her daughter #TheReplacement," someone else guessed.
While a fourth concluded: "That girl must be his daughter but not hers. I reckon they lost a child due to something relating to Ellen in some way #TheReplacement."
The episode ended on a dramatic cliffhanger as Ellen finally asked Paula what had really happened to her daughter.
The Replacement concludes next Tuesday at 9pm on BBC One.
