Emmerdale's Meena Jutla's next victim: Who could die as killer returns for revenge

Emmerdale has confirmed Meena Jutla will be back next week for revenge, following her exit from the ITV soap.

The serial killer made it clear she planned to show up to the wedding of Dawn Taylor and her ex Billy Fletcher - and this is exactly what she does.

Furious with her ex for choosing Dawn over him, talks of the wedding left her determined for revenge, and next week she holds them both hostage on a remote viaduct, wielding a gun.

Emmerdale spoilers have teased multiple lives are at risk and someone could die, with a wedding day massacre feared by fans.

There are plenty of characters who might be on Meena's hit list though, not just Billy and Dawn, so who is most likely to be killed off if she manages to strike again ahead of her "judgement day"?

Dawn Taylor

Dawn is Meena's current love rival, and she is definitely at the top of the hit list (ITV)

Dawn is Meena's current love rival, and she is definitely at the top of the hit list.

Meena vowed to wreak havoc when she learned Dawn had set a date for the ceremony, and it seems she needs to watch her back.

The pair never really got on, and her romance with Billy has left her in definite danger at the hands of killer Meena on her own big day.

With her and Billy the intended targets, will one of them die just after the happiest moment of their lives?

Billy Fletcher

Meena's ex Billy had a lucky escape when he dumped her for Dawn recently (ITV)

Meena's ex Billy had a lucky escape when he dumped her for Dawn recently.

But what he didn't know was that if Meena had her way, he'd be dead as she plotted to murder him just weeks ago.

Her plan was thwarted by Liam Cavanagh, but with her so angry about the wedding and Dawn we wouldn't put it past her trying to kill him again and this time succeeding.

Meena has Billy and Dawn at her mercy, and threatens to kill them both of Billy doesn't decide on who should die out of him and Dawn...

Manpreet Sharma

Poor Manpreet has almost died numerous times in the past month or two alone (ITV)

Poor Manpreet has almost died numerous times in the past month or two alone, and most of this is down to her sister Meena.

From falling into icy rapids, being caught up in an explosion and then Meena trying to kill her more than once, perhaps it's time to give her a break.

But Meena wants her dead, so when she returns to the village will she want to clear up her unfinished business?

Vinny Dingle

Vinny was another planned victim who escaped death recently (ITV)

Vinny was another planned victim who escaped death recently, when Meena tried to murder him as he realised she was hiding something dark.

Liam saved Vinny and Manpreet from a devastating demise, and Meena soon fled.

While she might not have a reason to kill Vinny now that everyone knows she's a killer, Meena might want to finish what she started and kill anyone she had intended to.

That leaves him and Manpreet, and others at high risk.

Liam Cavanagh

Liam and Meena had quite the showdown (ITV)

Liam and Meena had quite the showdown, when he found out she had murdered his daughter Leanna Cavanagh.

While she had not planned to kill Liam, she certainly left him in turmoil with manipulation and false claims of assault.

In the end, he was the one to stop her and almost brought her to justice - but he ended up trying to get revenge for his daughter.

Meena was able to slip through the net leaving him desperate to find her, armed with a gun.

Given how things ended with them, and the fact he scuppered her plan to kill Vinny and Manpreet, might Liam be the person she wants to kill next?

Jacob Gallagher

Jacob has a score to settle after the murder of his girlfriend Leanna (ITV)

Jacob has a score to settle after the murder of his girlfriend Leanna.

Meena had the teen on side at one point, before she showed her true colours leading to him keeping a distance.

Now that he knows the truth, we don't doubt he will want revenge if he ever comes face-to-face with her.

But, given her history with his dad David, might Meena commit the ultimate revenge and kill Jacob too?

Tommy the lorry driver

Viewers are convinced poor Tommy might be next to die (ITV)

Viewers are convinced poor Tommy, who rescued her from arrest having no idea who she was or what she'd done, might be next to die.

When he learned she planned to head back to the village, perhaps they decided to part ways.

But some fans are convinced she will kill Tommy to steal his lorry, or maybe he might work out who she is and might lose his life as a result.

David Metcalfe

The first person to really betray Meena was her boyfriend David Metcalfe (ITV)

The first person to really betray Meena was her former boyfriend David Metcalfe, who cheated on her with new flame Victoria Sugden behind her back.

Meena taunted Victoria in an attempt to keep David for herself, but eventually she realised he only had eyes for her love rival.

As revenge, Meena plotted to cause an accident that would kill her while David watched on, but this didn't exactly go to plan.

She possibly blames him for everything going wrong, so might we go full circle and see Meena kill David?

Victoria Sugden

Meena got very nasty with Victoria once she know there were feelings there (ITV)

Meena got very nasty with Victoria once she know there were feelings there, and that she had kissed David.

Her attempts to keep them apart failed, leading to the moment she tried to drown her rival in a waterfall.

Victoria still doesn't know this as she was unconscious after an accident, but surely it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.

Brenda Walker

Brenda had quite the run-in with Meena (ITV)

Brenda had quite the run-in with Meena recently over a mug, and it's then that she realised there was something off about her.

The character seems unlikely to be a victim given there's no more secrets for the nosy neighbour to uncover, but might she spot Meena in the village and try to catch her out?

It's a long shot, but we can't help thinking about their previous showdown...

Noah or Samson Dingle

Noah Dingle got quite lucky given Meena's treatment of other people who have got on the wrong side of her (ITV)

Noah Dingle got quite lucky given Meena's treatment of other people who have got on the wrong side of her.

Meena fumed at Noah when he stole her ring, which she had actually taken from Leanna's corpse.

She began threatening him to stay out of her way, and he definitely provoked her - while Samson Dingle also got caught up in the mess when he hid the ring for Noah.

Meena broke into Samson's house to steal it back, before issuing a warning to Noah about their antics.

So will this be revisited when Meena makes her comeback, and should the boys be worried?

Got any theories or thoughts on the Meena storyline? Let us know in the comments below.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
