Emmerdale fans found themselves distracted by Meena Jutla’s transformation during Monday night’s episode, as the serial killer continued her reign of terror on the Dales.
Meena has kidnapped both her sister Manpreet and Vinny Dingle, and is keeping them both prisoner in the barn – determined to kill them both within just a few days.
As a groggy Vinny came round from the drugs Meena had injected him with, he asked Manpreet how long he’d been out, with Meena stepping out of the dark as she chimed in to reply: “Oh, just over 24 hours!”
But the taunting didn’t stop there, as Meena could be seen wearing Vinny’s glasses and teasing him with them, leaving him unable to see properly while his hands were tied behind him.

Fans, however, were slightly more distracted by Meena’s new look, as she donned the thick-rimmed glasses with her black puffa coat and jeans.
Taking to Twitter, one fan raved: “Obsessed with Meena stealing Vinny’s glasses while torturing him… a comedic queen!”
“Okay but Meena with glasses?” someone else posted, as a third fan tweeted: “Meena even looks good in glasses!”

Another social media user posted: “Not Meena putting on Vinny’s glasses, I can’t breathe!”
“Meena wearing Vinny’s glasses. It’s the small touches with her that send me completely [cry-laughing emoji],” someone else said.
Things got even more sinister as Meena headed off to Mandy’s nail salon to find out how much she knows about her son’s whereabouts – and was convinced to sit in the chair and have her nails painted “blood red” by the technician.

Fans even reckon Mandy could be the key to Meena’s downfall, with one tweeting: “Maybe this should be the ending – Mandy saves the day!”
Someone else added: “Mandy would be out on the warpath now. Watch your back Meena!”
“This is foreshadowing for Mandy ending Meena on Thursday’s episode,” another chipped in.
“My theory is Mandy killing her – I really hope it’s that!” a fourth fan added to the mix.
The episode had a rather sinister ending, with Meena approaching her hostages with an IV filled with alcohol to frame Vinny’s murder as a drink-drive accident.
Meanwhile, Vinny saw the calendar marking off the days until Manpreet’s death by drug overdose – leaving him terrified for his own life.
Emmerdale airs weekdays from 7pm on ITV.
