Emmerdale viewers have been glued to their screens this week as Meena Jutla’s murderous rampage is finally coming to an end.
But after the killer nurse escaped justice yet again, fans have now predicted a sinister Debbie Dingle twist shortly following the new the character would not be returning to the ITV soap.
Earlier this week, actress Charley Webb confirmed she had left the Dales for good after 19 years on the show despite her brief return to the soap in 2020.
Her character is now living up in Scotland with her son Jack after the pair decided to start a new life away from the village in 2019.
During the latest instalment of the long-standing show, the medical expert’s crimes were finally uncovered as Liam Cavanagh came to rescue Vinny Dingle and Manpreet Sharma from her clutches.
But the raven-haired beauty was always one step ahead as she managed to hitch a ride with a blissfully ignorant lorry driver names Tommy who was on his way to Glasgow.
As she hopped in the friendly driver’s van, Meena confessed she had always liked Scotland while she started to work out her new life on the run in the stunning highlands.
Meena’s latest confession left fans speculating whether she might somehow locate Debbie and her son as they feared she could be her next victim.
Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their theories as to what she would do next as many recalled Debbie’s move to Scotland where the murderous maniac was heading.
One fan penned: “#Emmerdale maybe Meena is gonna kill Debbie & that’s how she’s permanently leaving.”
Another agreed: “Isn’t Debbie in Scotland … as Debbie is leaving will the kill her off, Cain goes up and gets his revenge … Meena comes back … and so it starts again.”
A third chimed in with: “Next stop Glasgow, where Meena will somehow find and murder Debbie Dingle.”
Elsewhere, another fan of the show added: “Ohh she’s off to Scotland well that’s one way to kill off debbie dingle.”
It comes after viewers hit out at the soap over the latest Meena development as they hoped the long-winded storyline would be coming to an end.
Producers recently teased an upcoming “judgement day” for the character after she successfully killed Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker.
The killer also attempted to take the lives of Vinny Dingle, Manpreet Sharma and Victoria Sugden in addition to the death of her former friend Nadine who was her first victim before she moved to the village.
“I think it’s fair to say that judgement day for Meena is coming. But whether she’ll get away with murder you’re going to have to wait and find out,” executive producer Jane Hudson teased to the Daily Mail and other press.
“There are still some more twists and turns to be had in this story. Some that you probably won’t see coming but I think we can all agree that Meena can do pretty much anything.”
She added: “But yes, Meena’s judgement day is coming. It won’t play out quite as you expect, there will be a lasting effect on a lot of the villagers but I think within the next few months, Meena will get what’s coming to her.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode on Thursdays at 8pm.
