Emmerdale fans puzzled over 'invincible' Meena as she survives fifth death disaster

Emmerdale viewers are starting to question if killer Meena Jutla has superhero powers, as she survived a death plunge on the ITV soap this week.

This isn't the first time the serial killer has survived death horror though, with her being at the centre of some deadly incidents in the past few months alone.

From explosions, horror falls and the rest, the character has managed to survive every time - while others have not been so lucky.

In October, Meena was trapped in the burning maze after she killed Andrea Tate - but she was saved by Mackenzie Boyd.

She was hospitalised with smoke inhalation, but home within days - while Andrea died, and Priya Sharma suffered severe burns.

Meena was then injured when she slipped on some wine at The Hide while chasing Ben Tucker, with her seemingly hitting her head.

Meena was playing on her injuries though, as she fled before brutally murdering Ben with an oar.

Just a month or so later, and Meena was injured in another fireball, this time the pub explosion caused by Al Chapman.

While her sister Manpreet Sharma was in a coma after suffering head injuries, Meena was up and about the next day, only seeming to suffer scratches to her face.

Then there was her being attacked by Liam Cavanagh in January, as he found out she'd held Vinny Dingle and Manpreet hostage in a barn, and she planned to kill them.

Liam whacked Meena over the head with a plank of wood sending her falling to the ground unconscious.

But while Vinny and other characters were knocked out for hours when she'd previously attacked them in this way, Meena was up within moments and fleeing before her great escape.

Now last week aired another serious incident for the villain, as Liam pushed her off a bridge to avenge his daughter Leanna's murder - who died this way.

While Leanna died almost instantly, not helped by the fact Meena left her to die and didn't get help, Meena survived.

Meena did suffer a punctured lung and a broken rib, before flatlining, so this time she probably would have died had it not been for emergency services reviving her.

Fans pointed this out when compared to Leanna dying from the same fall, but even with help Leanna probably would have died given she passed away within minutes of the fall.

Viewers have been left puzzled with Meena surviving such dangerous incidents every single time, when others have not been so lucky.

Of course the ITV soap needed to keep Meena alive for the storylines, but some fans slammed her being "invincible" and suggested she clearly had "powers".

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Only MEENA could slip on wine survive, get hit in the face with 4+2 survive, get pushed off a bridge, and only get a cracked rib."

Another agreed: "Right,so within a few days of falling over the same bridge as Leanna (who died), Meena manages to survive, come out of ICU & be discharged? Wow, this is, in 1 word MIRACULOUS. Oh not forgetting poor Leyla who just got shot but is still poorly recovering in hospital."

A third fan added: "How did Meena survive this push over the bridge when Leanna didn't survive it? Doesn't make sense."

Meanwhile a fourth viewer joked: "Ridiculous. That Meena must be invincible. It’s more like a fantasy film," as a fifth fan said: "Meena is more invincible than Superman lmao."

Another wrote: "Who cares at this point (months!), enough of Meena, I think she’s Michael Myers now."
