In a gripping twist that has left Days of Our Lives fans on the edge of their seats, Ella Forrester’s sudden return to Salem is marred by chaos and suspicion — and her dramatic exit hints that the threat she brings is far from over. Just as tensions surrounding her past begin to erupt, Ella finds herself at the center of a spiraling mystery that could have devastating consequences for everyone in town.

Recent scenes saw accusations flying when Ella was suspected of drugging a fellow Salem resident, Charles, supposedly driven by jealousy over Liam’s deepening relationship with another woman. When a brick was hurled through a window at the Brady Pub — and was found to have Ella’s fingerprints — suspicions only grew. In a desperate attempt to clear her name, Ella insisted she was being framed by Charles, further fueling the uncertainty.

Liam, seizing the chance to uncover the truth, pretended to want a reunion with Ella, pushing her to confess. Caught off guard, Ella shockingly admitted to drugging Charles, only to take it back moments later, claiming she had fabricated the confession to win Liam’s affection. But the damage was done — and the consequences quickly escalated.

As the police closed in, Ella fled, leading to a heart-pounding confrontation in the Salem woods. A physical struggle with Liam ended with him hitting his head on a rock. Believing she had accidentally killed him, Ella broke down — but when Liam regained consciousness, a wave of emotions followed. She revealed her real name was Ruth and opened up about her tragic past, begging for forgiveness.

Though Ella was eventually taken into custody, her final plea — insisting she never hurt Charles — left Liam questioning everything. Has Salem really seen the last of Ella, or is her haunting presence just the beginning of more danger to come?
