Emmerdale fans are predicting a new romance for Belle Dingle following episodes this week.
During Thursday's 7pm instalment, Ellis Chapman (Asan N'Jie) was questioned by Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) about his plans with Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) as they met up.
"Belle not with you?" Billy asked. "I thought you were helping her train for this 5K?"
When Ellis replied that he was meeting up with her at lunchtime to go through her training plan, Billy teased: "Got plans with her, have you?"
"Not the way you're thinking," Ellis said. "I mean, she has just lost her mum."
Billy said: "You never know, it might be just the distraction she needs."

However, Ellis has his own drama to deal with. He accidentally attacked Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock), and was then told by Jessie Dingle (Sandra Marvin) and Marlon that he may have PTSD.
"I don't think it's that serious," Ellis claimed during the 8pm episode, when asked by Jessie to get help.
"You attacked your mother's husband, using a key to get into his house in the middle of the day," Marlon responded. "We do."
Emmerdale currently airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with extra episodes at 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
