The soap revealed in 2024 that Ella was hiding a dark secret - that she'd killed a child and served a lengthy prison sentence for the crime.\n<p>But who exactly did Ella kill?<\/p>\n<h2>Who was Joanne Phillips?<\/h2>\n<p>The child that Ella killed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/08\/22\/emmerdale-what-did-ella-actually-do-joanne\/\">was an 11-year-old named Joanne Phillips<\/a>. Also a child at the time, Ella had bonded with Joanne's mother, June, after she'd learned about her tough upbringing (as the daughter of a drug addict and dealer).<\/p>\n<p>Growing close after June invited her around for tea, Ella grew close with her and Joanne. However, tensions grew when Joanne attempted to reconcile with a group of former friends from their school.<\/p>\n<p>As a deeply unpopular child herself, Ella feared that she'd lose June if Joanne moved on. Succumbing to a fit of jealousy, she attacked Joanne, 'banging and banging her head on the ground' until she was dead. After killing Joanna, Ella returned home, where the police picked her up.<\/p>\n<h2>How long did Ella serve in prison?<\/h2>\n<p>After killing Joanne, Ella went on to serve a lengthy sentence in a Young Offender's Institute and, later, an adult prison. After being deemed no longer a threat, Ella was released from prison. She struggled to adapt to life on the outside, becoming a pariah as her secret was revealed whenever she attempted to settle down.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Emmerdale in January 2024, she soon grew close to Doctor Liam. She eventually opened up to him about her secret, but he felt terribly betrayed by the revelation - having himself suffered the loss of a daughter when Leanna was murdered by Meena Jutla.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving the village in shame, Ella briefly reconciled with Liam last year, amid a false pregnancy scare. However, their romance was short-lived, as Liam had developed feelings for Chas, dumping her so that they could be together.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Paula Lane still leaving Emmerdale?<\/h2>\n<p>Ella's story comes amid rumours that actor Paula Lane will leave the soap this year.
