Things that didn\u2019t make sense in Emmerdale last week? Why has Paula Lane been so wasted?<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve said this over and over again, but why get the brilliant Paula Lane to join your soap and not use her? After Ella\u2019s murderous secret was revealed bosses clearly didn\u2019t know what to do with her. So they settled for her simpering over Liam until she eventually left the show.<\/p>\n<p>And now, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2025\/03\/19\/is-paula-lane-leaving-emmerdale-all-know-actress-re-follows-soap\/\">Paula Lane\u2019s exit<\/a> not far away, it seems they are giving her a storyline and she\u2019s proving what a waste it has been underusing her this last year.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so the constant \u201cI didn\u2019t do it\u201d whinging as she was accused of drugging Chas was quite grating, but her outburst in the salon on Thursday (March 20) proved she would have made a brilliant psycho. She\u2019s been woefully wasted and now she\u2019s off. Big mistake, Emmerdale. Huge.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31482\" style=\"width: 893px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31482 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/18_03_emm_liam_chas_02-893x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chas and Liam toast to their future in Emmerdale\" width=\"893\" height=\"1024\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31482\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u2018Oh my darling, please pass me a sick bucket\u2019 (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>5.
