Soap opera Emmerdale actress announces pregnancy with her third child through a heartfelt social media update.
Paula Lane, the actress best known for her roles in Coronation Street and more recently, Emmerdale, has made a significant announcement. In an emotional post today, she revealed that she is pregnant with her third child, due in December 2025.
Lane's stint as Ella Forster in Emmerdale did not receive much fanfare, but her exit from the show is generating buzz. Her final scene is scheduled to air around April, and she has expressed gratitude to the Emmerdale fans for their support throughout her time on the show.
In a heartwarming post, Lane shared a picture of her baby scan and cards to her two children, Arthur and Penny. Fellow actors, including Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor) and Danny Miller (Aaron Dingle), congratulated her on her pregnancy and upcoming departure from Emmerdale. Longchambon commented, "Ah congratulations to you all Paula! 💫🩵🫶🏼 Xxx," while Miller wrote, "Congratulations guys!"
Lane did not specify the exact reason for her exit from Emmerdale, but she stated that everything regarding her departure is positive. This is a departure from her role as Kylie Platt in Coronation Street, where she left in 2016 and took a step back from regular television acting to focus more on her personal life.
Since leaving Coronation Street, Lane has been selective about her acting roles, focusing more on theatre and occasional television roles rather than continuing in long-running soap operas. She has appeared in stage productions and taken on occasional guest roles on TV, but no major long-term television characters have been publicly announced.
As of the latest available information, there haven’t been major announcements about any large upcoming projects or new long-term TV roles for Paula Lane. However, she hinted at potential future appearances in new dramas or on stage, so fans can look forward to seeing more of her in the future.
For the very latest updates on her career, it's worth checking recent interviews or her official social media channels, as actors sometimes announce new projects there first.
