Emmerdale's Manpreet has had the worst few months of her life by a long way.
She was kept hostage in the barn by her evil killer sister Meena Jutla, who is now on the run after confessing it all to her.
Manpreet is still laid up in hospital and her former partner Charles has been visiting her regularly.

During Thursday's first episode, he arrived again, keen to tell her Vinny seemed to think Meena had been caught.
Manpreet replied: "So it could be over? Wouldn't they have said something if they caught her?"
Charles said: "Maybe they're being tight-lipped"
But while they were talking, something else took viewers' interests.
Many soap fans questioned whether Manpreet should still be in her hospital bed.
Taking to Twitter, Pamela Moore said: "Why is Manpreet blocking a bed?"
Michelle Jones said: "Why is she not back home in a week like everyone else who ends up in that hospital?"
AVFCLil said: "Manpreet has to have broken the record for longest ever hospital stay.
"They are normally nearly dead in one episode and out the next #Emmerdale".
Referring to Charity Dingle's brain bleed in episodes that aired in September 2021, she added: "Charity was absolutely fine after a few paracetamol."
Chris P replied: "Was thinking the same. Surprised she's not out marathon running by now."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub with an additional episode at 8pm on Thursdays
