Another twist that Emmerdale fans are talking about is that Ella may have known John Sugden before.

In upcoming episodes, it could be revealed that John was a relative or her guardian in the correctional facility.

The two have a shady connection – perhaps even John is the one who has been threatening Ella all this time.

In a foreshadowing scene, Ella receives an unnamed envelope containing a photo of her and John as a teenager, with the words: “I remember everything.”

She panics and throws the photo into the fireplace, but her eyes are haunted.

If this theory is correct, Ella is not only a victim of her past, but also a living witness to the crimes that John tried to hide. As Cain hunts John down, Ella will become an important link, but also a target.

A very intense fantasy scene: Cain and Ella meet in an abandoned warehouse. Ella says: “You want to catch John? So do I. But I can’t let you kill him.” Cain grits his teeth: “What do you know about him?” Ella breaks down in tears: “More than you think.”

If this secret is revealed, Emmerdale will enter a whole new phase – where victims and perpetrators switch places, and justice is no longer black and white. Ella may be the only one who understands John, but she may also be the one who has to sacrifice herself to end it all.
