Emmerdale fans were furious when serial killer Meena Jutla escaped the scene of her numerous crimes and hitched a lift away from the Dales.
But she could be back sooner than anyone expected as she makes an epic return to spoil Billy Fletcher’s wedding to Dawn Taylor on Valentine’s Day.
The happy couple are due to exchange vows on February 14th, but with Meena’s claws still itching to snare Billy after she faked a pregnancy with his baby, things likely won’t turn out as expected if she does show up.
Fans have been sharing their theories on social media since Meena left with a truck driver and gave her name as Manpreet, with one Reddit user predicting: “Meena to return to try and stop Billy and Dawn’s wedding on February 14th? I think this is the most plausible way she’ll return to the village.”
Someone else guessed: “So Meena is either gonna come back at Billy and Dawn’s Valentine’s wedding or the 50th [anniversary] I bet!”, as a third social media user echoed: “I have a feeling Meena could return on Dawn and Billy’s wedding day to wreak revenge. She could kill Billy or Dawn or both before her official comeuppance later this year.
“I hope not though as want Billy and Dawn to have their happily ever after!”
Another fan posted: “Meena back just in time to totally blow up Billy & Dawn’s wedding next month potentially? Really hope not. Dawn more than deserves a happy ending with Billy & Lucas after everything with Malone.”

It comes as soap bosses have promised that Meena’s end won’t come for a “few months” – leading some fans to think she could stick around for the 50th anniversary in October this year.
Speaking to The Mirror, Emmerdale’s executive producer Jane Hudson and producer Laura Shaw told press: “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.

“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 pretty much do anything.”
They 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 with her.”
Emmerdale airs weekdays from 7pm on ITV.
