Meena Jutla mention sends fans into a frenzy as they beg for her return to kill ‘half the cast’ – and Dawn is No.1 on the hit list
“Need Meena to come back,” wrote one fan
Fans of Emmerdale were thrown into a frenzy today as the name of fan-favourite Meena Jutla was invoked during the episode, sparking hopes she’d return. Murderous Meena was one of the soap’s most popular villains in her time, killing Liam’s teenage daughter and holding her own sister hostage, among other iconic crimes.
Manpreet brought up her name again tonight – and fans are hoping she might return to, ahem, ‘take out’ a few other members of the cast.
This came as Wendy’s recent gossip continued to make headlines. After unwittingly sharing details of her unsavoury past, the journalist from the Hotten Courier had forced her to dish the dirt on Rhona and Ella too, while she was at it.
Wendy came clean tonight (Thursday, January 16), and told an appalled Liam how she’d leaked details of Ella’s past.
Wendy comes clean
With the journalist blackmailing Wendy over her lack of appropriate nursing qualifications, she quickly found the situation spiralling out of her control.
“Never trust a journalist,” (charming) chided a disappointed Liam, as they attempted to dig her out of the hole.
As she came clean to Liam, Wendy was forced to tell Manpreet, Bob and Ella what she’d been up to. Wendy’s confession left Manpreet suitably disgusted. It was then that she brought up a certain blast from the past so that everyone would understand the gravity of the situation.
“See, I thought, after Meena, things couldn’t get any worse,” a disgusted Manpreet said, “but this could destroy us.”
Emmerdale fans demand the return of Meena Jutla
This stray line from Manpreet was all viewers needed to get back down the rabbit hole of Meena Jutla fandom – assembling a hit list in anticipation.
“The mere mention of Meena is making me want them to bring her back and take half this lot out!! Writers must know half of this is pure dross. Ruby’s story deserves better than this,” wrote one fan.
“Need Meena back to get rid of dawn and a few other annoying people,” said another.
“Meena, come back and kill off Dismal. I’m begging you,” said a third.
“Love a little Meena mention,” wrote another, more innocently.
Fans have long hoped for the return of Meena to Emmerdale. And, with Dawn currently infuriating fans by poisoning Kim Tate and betraying Billy by snogging Joe, viewers would love to see her return to her murderous ways. Sorry Dawn.
