Lisa Riley appears to have leaked that Paula Lane is back filming in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Mandy Dingle star took to Instagram to share a snap with her pal Paula as they filmed on set.
She said: “DOUBLE TROUBLE at the @emmerdale village today.”
Paula – who previously played Kylie Platt in Coronation Street – made her Emmerdale debut earlier this year as Ella Forster.
Months after her arrival it was finally revealed she was hiding the fact she was using a false name after killing a childhood friend when she was just 11.
However, Ella vanished from screens and Emmerdale fans assumed she had departed for good.
Reacting to her seemingly imminent return, one fan said: “Lisa are you allowed to do this as we all think Paula has left the village, spoiler Alerts xx.”
A second wrote: “Glad to see your still in the show.”
“Glad to see you’re coming back to the village,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “Oh is she coming back?”
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
