Emmerdale fans predict Meena will escape and return for anniversary as sentence looms

Emmerdale fans think that viewers have not seen the last of Meena Jutla, as the serial killer’s sentencing looms in tonight’s episode (April 18).

Meena recently threatened that her reign of terror was not over yet in Friday’s episode, after telling a security guard: “Who needs telly, it’s all up here.

“So many lovely memories, and so many more just waiting to be made, starting tomorrow with the whole world watching.”

With Meena soon to be sentenced on the ITV soap, fans are convinced that the murderer will escape and return to take her revenge on the dales ahead of Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary later this year, including on sister Manpreet, with one fan saying: “Maybe she’ll escape.”

A second added: “Is her escape the plan for #Emmerdale50?” with a third saying: “Please don’t say she will pop up in October during the anniversary week by maybe escaping prison.”

One fan was even convinced that Meena will not get as a far as the courtroom, commenting: “Don’t you just know there will be a twist and she will get away with it.”

Another said that the long running storyline has been full of twists, and that they are not convinced Meena is disappearing any time soon, saying: “This has just become a running gag now, like every time you think it is finally over… surprise! Her story continues for another few months.”

If Meena is sent down for life for her villainous crimes however, some fans have already begged the writers to produce a series just about the character, with one saying: “Confirm the Meena spin off already.”

A second added: “This can’t be the end… Meena should have a spin off TV show.”

However others feel that the story has been dragged out, with some fans begging for the storyline to come to an end on social media.

Despite the storyline remaining divisive, one eagle-eyed fan was keen to point out the similarities between Meena Jutla and EastEnders character Gray Atkins’ lengthy storylines, saying: “Just over eight months – killer Gray on EastEnders for two-and-a-half years,” seeming to indicate that Meena’s storyline could be continuing for quite a while yet.

Could the fans be right? Will Meena escape and return to cause chaos in Emmerdale? Or will she remain behind bars? Only time will tell.
