EMMERDALE has given fans a sneak peek of actress Paula Lane on the Dales set.
The soap star has migrated from the Coronation Street cobbles to the Emmerdale village for her latest role.
It was confirmed that she would be joining the show as a brand new character last week.
Paula had made a name for herself when she played fan favourite character Kylie Platt on the cobbles.
She appeared on the show between 2010 and 2016 before she was brutally killed off in a shock stabbing storyline.
Now the star is ready to make her TV comeback as brand new character, Ella Forster.
