Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has praised co-star Paula Lane amid the Chas Dingle collapse storyline.
The ITV soap has recently kicked off another mystery when Chas, played by Lucy Pargeter, collapsed at the Woolpack. It was later revealed that someone had tampered with her medicines for the injuries sustained in the limo crash.
The blame was laid on Lane’s Ella Forster, with some in the village accusing her of being jealous as her ex-partner Liam Cavanagh is moving on with Chas.
However, not everyone is convinced she’s the one behind the collapse, with Mandy Dingle and Manpreet Sharma sticking up for their friend.

After Ella’s dramatic arrest, Riley, who plays Ella’s pal Mandy, celebrated her “superb” co-star on Instagram.
“Love this girl,” Riley wrote. “Love working with her, she’s such a superb actress, but also adore laughing of set, having someone who will play dress up postalworkers with.”
“What a performance last night in @emmerdale,” Riley added, promising “more to come”.

She continued: “I’m loving reading all your thoughts on ‘who’s done what to who’. Your theories are all so different, it’s fantastic.”
The storyline is building up to an exit for Lane later in the year, as the star was revealed to be leaving the role of Ella and the Dales behind this spring.
Posting a picture at work to Instagram, the soap star thanked fans for their support for Ella, writing: “Thank you for all your lovely messages on last night’s ep @emmerdale, it’s like cluedo in the.
