Lane, who previously starred in ITV’s Coronation Street as Kylie Platt, joined Emmerdale in late 2023, with her first scenes airing in January 2024.
However, she now appears to have quietly left Emmerdale, with an update to her Spotlight talent page revealing she will stop filming in February 2025.
A subtle update to her talent profile suggests the star will disappear from the soap in spring next year.
In her short time on Emmerdale, Lane’s character has had a rollercoaster story with fans of the soap who watched her make her debut as bubbly receptionist Ella Forster.
She quickly befriends Mandy Dingle (Lisa Reilly) and then falls in love with Dr. Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson).
Viewers watched as Ella’s wild backstory was revealed and she was revealed to be behind the death of a childhood friend.
The story revealed that she was struggling to readjust to society, causing some awkward moments with the other residents of the Dales.
At the time the story aired, Lane revealed she had signed a further deal with the ITV soap.
She spoke to us in August when she revealed: “When I took on the role of Ella, I didn’t know that this story would be the story it is now.
“But any actor worth his salt will take something very rough. And that will give you full exposure and work with it.

“I knew he was in safe hands, I knew they wanted to do a really great job with him. Combined with the writer and director, I just knew they were going to make it into something really magical.
“So at first, I think I was quite nervous to play it. Because you never know which way the audience will go.
“But ultimately, I’m always looking for the truth in it. And then hope it all goes on from there.”
More recently in Emmerdale, it was revealed that Ella is pregnant with Dr. Liam before the tragic miscarriage, because the doctor returned to his true love Chas Dingle (Lisa Pargenter).
The actress is originally from Hebden Bridge and graduated from drama school in 2008 before landing her first TV role.
Prior to her role in Emmerdale, Lane also had roles in BBC’s Call The Midwife, ITV’s medical drama The Royal and ITV’s Heartbeat.
The Sun has contacted ITV for comment.
