Emmerdale’s Andrea Tate could still be alive after she was supposedly murdered in the maize maze by serial killer Meena Jutla.
In Friday’s (April 8) episode of the ITV soap, fans saw Leyla Cavanagh speaking in hushed tones on the phone to somebody, arranging to meet them at a later date.
Leyla insisted it was a work call, but whispered into the phone: “Hi, I thought I was supposed to be ringing you? No, I can’t, not right now. Do you know what? I’ll meet you later, okay?”
And many fans think Leyla could be harbouring Andrea, ready to whisk her to Meena’s trial next week and help deliver a guilty verdict for the murderer.
Meena is currently accused of murdering Andrea, along with Ben Tucker and Leanna Cavanagh – as well as attempting to kill her sister Manpreet and Vinny Dingle.
But Andrea’s testimony could be just what is needed to finally bring her to justice.
Another key hint fell as Gabby and Dawn discovered Andrea’s ex Jamie was still alive after faking his own death – and could see the parents of Millie reunited, after their house was left abandoned.
Taking to Facebook, one eagle-eyed fan penned: “So who wonders who called Leyla tonight? I’m still thinking it’s Andrea!”
Another agreed: “There was no fuss or funeral mentioned for Andrea, so I’ve thought all along that she was alive.”
“Did the actress who plays Andrea do a leaving video? I can’t remember seeing one. Would be a good twist!” someone else echoed, while a fourth fan said: “I wonder… is Leyla taking phone calls from Andrea? We never saw her body and Charles even conveniently remembered she existed today….”
And Emmerdale bosses recently confirmed Leyla is hiding a shocking secret from those closest to her, with producer Laura Shaw teasing: “We’ve seen her be a huge support to Liam through the loss of his daughter Leanna but is all as it seems?
“Is Leyla really coping as well as she seems to on the surface or is there a bit more going on there that we’ll uncover?”
And in January, Andrea actress Anna Nightingale even hinted at a return to the ITV Dales as she said she “loves” the fan theories surrounding her character’s supposed death.
She said: “That sounds pretty epic. I would love it.
“On both parts at the moment, it’s a chapter done, but you know never know, so never say never. That version of Andrea’s reality sounds really cool.”
However, other fans were more sure Andrea is gone for good, as they pointed out: “She can’t be in a safe house as Meena is being tried for her murder!
“Only way it might have happened is if Meena wasn’t on trial for her murder, also PCC would be involved as she went on to commit further atrocities!”
Another guessed: “Can’t all be back from the dead, surely, maybe she is with Jamie?”
Emmerdale airs weekdays from 7:30pm on ITV.
