Emmerdale’s resident serial killer Meena Jutla looks like she’s about to face justice, with her sick trophy box in the hands of the police – but she could have one last trick up her sleeve.
Fans are now certain Meena is blackmailing a rather unexpected character after the disappearance of Ellis Chapman.
Ostensibly, Ellis has left the country to start a new life – but viewers are sure that something rather more sinister could be afoot, with Ellis either murdered or kidnapped.
And Priya Sharma could be in killer Meena’s sight-lines too.
Fans are certain Meena has kidnapped Ellis in a dastardly plot to blackmail Priya – and it could just secure her freedom from the police after the locating of her box.
Taking to Reddit, one fan theorised: “My crazy theory if you want to read it but it’s an all or nothing… (if I’m right I’ll be amazed)
“When Meena has been mentioned a few times, the camera has panned onto Priya. Something I found odd, I couldn’t work out a connection as to why?” they added.
“What if Meena has been blackmailing Priya – you know what soaps are like for implying something that is never seen?

“I still think Ellis is in the village but has been held captive by Meena, Priya is doing everything she can to make sure Ellis isn’t hurt. For all Ellis’ family are aware he has gone, and he’s having a great time!
“I’d have a lot more praise for the writers if they pulled something like this, rather than her dying because of either a disease that’s making her go crazy, or Liam doing a Columbo.
“But we’ll see…” they concluded.
And it wouldn’t be such a stretch for the pair to be linked in some way, as Meena has already delivered a life-changing blow to Priya’s life.
She was gravely injured in the maize maze fire in which Meena murdered Andrea Tate – leaving Priya furious with the world and with Manpreet for bringing Meena into their lives.
And if she does have Ellis hostage, it could mean the police let her go outside if she vows to lead them to where he is – giving her the chance to escape.
Other fans agree that Ellis never left the village at all – with one writing: “Meena is going to kill Ellis and everyone is going to think he’s gone to Australia.”
“I think Meena has kidnapped and murdered Ellis, sending messages from his phone,” someone else agreed.
As a third echoed: “Who else thinks Meena has got Ellis?? Eek!!!”
And another fan said: “Imagine if Ellis got bumped off by Meena en route to the airport and nobody ever knew cos they just think he’s f***ed off to Australia.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7pm on ITV.
