Emmerdale has aired a surprise twist as serial killer Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) appeared in the dock.
The evil nurse was forced to face up to her crimes at her plea hearing during Thursday’s hour-long episode of the ITV soap.
She addressed all of the charges against her from assault, to attempted murder and murder.
Meena shocked villagers and fans alike when she look to the stand and entered a plea to her crimes.
She started off the hearing pleading guilty to one of her crimes and it was soon clear to see that she was playing games as usual.

The pressure became too much her sister Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) as she realised she would have to go up against her sister in court.
As the star witness, if her statement fails to convince the jury she feels she will be letting down everyone affected by Meena’s actions.
Manpreet suffered a panic attack in the church as partner Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) supported her through it.

He suggested she spoke to nurse Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) at the surgery, but Manpreet was later seen sitting in her parked car where she privately fell apart.
Fans were left deeply concerned for Manpreet as she struggled to cope and wandered into the dark of night alone.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Is Manpreet gonna die???!!!”
Another added: “Don’t do it Manpreet..”
A third person posted: “I think Manpreet’s ill, she’s obviously had a nervous breakdown?”
While a fourth social media said:
Meena admitted to kidnapping and attempting to kill Manpreet during the hearing.
She also admitted to shooting Leyla Harding, but that was as far she would go, as the killer went on to plead not guilty to the murders of Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker.
Then, as the charge of Leanna Cavangh’s murder was put to her, Meena turned and smirked at the teen’s father Liam Cavanagh before loudly proclaiming “not guilty” once again.
Leyla couldn’t contain her fury and made a scene in court, while Liam had to leave the room.
The pressure was well and truly on Manpreet as she realised what this meant – she would have to testify against Meena and endure her mental torture all over again.
Fans will have to wait if Manpreet will testify against her evil sister.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on 7.30pm on ITV with an hour-long episodes on Thursdays
