At the center of all the chaos, there is a name that makes the audience shudder when they hear it: Celia.

Not the type of villain who shouts, screams or fights loudly, Celia is scary in a much more subtle way.

She is cold, calculating and always one step ahead of others.

This week’s Emmerdale makes it clear: Celia is not just greedy, but someone who is willing to make a dirty move to destroy anyone who dares to stand in her way.

In the story revolving around Anya, Bear and April, Celia always appears as a shadow standing behind. She does not need to directly take action, but she is the one who sets the rules of the game. When Anya is weak and needs to be saved, Celia does not care about feelings or life, she just needs her secret not to be revealed. When Bear is forced to bury the truth, it is also the result of the move that Celia arranged. She created a chess game in which everyone was a piece of chess, and she was the only one who could choose.

The climax of Celia’s scheme was when she decided to blame others to clear her way out. Instead of accepting the risk of being exposed, Celia tried to create a new story, in which a completely innocent character was turned into a suspect. Using evidence, traces and even “random” details to turn the suspicions around shows that she is not only evil but also extremely intelligent. This is not a simple evil, but a strategic evil.
