First look at Paula Lane as she makes Emmerdale debut in dramatic spoilers
MANDY Dingle and Paddy Kirk’s relationship hits a wall next week as the couple attend a formal event.
Actress Paula Lane joins the Emmerdale line-up next week and she could be the help needed by the couple.
Paddy Kirk (portrayed by Dominic Brunt) decided to give his relationship with Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) last year, following the breakdown of his marriage with Chas Dingle.
The romance has since been peaceful but things are about to be flipped on their head.
To top it all off, the couple make a new friend in the form of Ella Forster, portrayed by actress Paula Lane.
As regular soap viewers may remember, Paula became a household name when she appeared in rival ITV show Coronation Street as Kylie Platt.
Coming up next week, Mandy arrives at the vets’ social, dressed in an extravagant Liz Hurley inspired outfit.
When a loud-mouthed managing director, Jules, rudely teases her about her dress, her blood boils as Paddy panders to him, and refuses to introduce Mandy as his girlfriend.
Paddy opens up to Mandy about his insecurities around Jules and although she’s hurt, she agrees to support him.
Overhearing Jules lambasting his PA, Ella, Mandy consoles her and this has devastating consequences.
When Jules makes some more rude comments about Mandy, Ella pours a drink over him.
Returning to the group, Paddy mistakenly blames Mandy for the chaos.
Will Mandy be able to forgive Paddy’s behaviour?
What will happen to Ella?
Speaking about the newcomer, producer Kate Brooks said: “Ella is a complex and multi-layered character who comes to the village and certainly makes an impact.”
“Ostensibly she’s a good, moral character, but is there more to her than meets the eye?”
