Emmerdale stars have teased that fans should be prepared for “anyone” to be Meena Jutla’s next victim as the serial killer returns to the Dales.
Soap stars Bhasker Patel and Ash Palmisciano made the comments ahead of Meena’s fateful return for Billy Fletcher and Dawn Taylor's wedding - as she seeks revenge against her former lover.
The ITV stars said that “anyone could go” when asked if they have concerns about the fate of their own characters while attending the National Diversity Awards 2022.
Ash, who plays Matty Barton, told the Daily Star : “I think everybody has got to a point where we're all like...people are sort of avoiding Meena at all costs.”
He added: “Watch your backs, I mean, anyone could go.”
Bhaskar's Emmerdale character Rishi Sharma recently collapsed on the soap in the wake of the shock revelation that Meena had tried to kill Manpreet - added on top of the stress of his marriage breakdown.
Bhaskar said: “Rishi has been in India, so he has had no idea what has happened in the village.”
As viewers continue to wait for Meena’s murderous rampage to be exposed, the soap stars said fans could be forced to wait a little longer.
Ash said: “Obviously we've got a serial killer in the village at the moment, so there's going to be a lot more stuff going on down there.”
The drama will continue when Billy Fletcher and Dawn Taylor prepare to exchange vows in a romantic Valentine's Day wedding as serial killer Meena lurks nearby.
This comes as Emmerdale spoilers have teased more than one casualty on the soap as Meena makes her sinister return.
The ITV soap has dropped an eerie trailer, revealing the moment serial killer Meena reappears in the village next week and causes havoc.
