Ella Forster , played by Paula Lane , was told to leave the village by Liam Cavanagh ( Jonny McPherson ). The local doctor was horrified by Ella, who he has been dating for months, as he uncovered her secret - she’s a child killer .
It was revealed that Ella took the life of an 11-year-old girl when she was the same age herself. Ella had been visiting a woman called June in a care home in secret. When June sadly died, Ella attended his funeral - and Liam followed her there.
Liam explained to the bystanders who Ella was and that he was there to support her, but to his surprise they furiously turned on Ella with one saying: “It should be you in that hole, not her! You're scum, you're a murderer, child killer!". The camera panned onto the grave next to June's, where it appeared to be her late daughter as it read: "Joanne Phillips, 3rd March 1994 to 22nd August 2005". During the Monday 3 June episode, the fallout continued with Liam being furious.
