“It’s a bit strange to say the least to think that I’m not going to be with her,” Rebecca said.

“I can’t really imagine Meena not being part of Manpreet’s storyline or vice versa. But there was life before Meena and there will be life afterwards - I think! I haven’t heard anything else of the contrary.

Paige Sandhu has played Meena Jutla in Emmerdale since 2020.

In that time, the killer character has bumped off many village favourites with her crimes recently being unearthed.

Rebecca is excited to see what is next in Paige’s career after she’s done playing Emmerdale villain Meena.

“That’s the life of an actor though people come and go,” Rebecca said.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that Paige will go on to do brilliant things.”
