Emmerdale fans fume at Meena 'double kill' and take swipe at actors and 'psycho' writers

Emmerdale fans have been left shaken as Meena's body count continues to rise.

Tonight's episode left some fans believing that the storyline had "gone too far", after the self-confessed "unhinged" killer appeared to take out two more popular characters.

As Billy and Dawn were locked in a tense stand-off with Meena, who had first captured Dawn on her wedding day by posing as a limo driver, poor Leyla found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Meena, readying to shoot Billy and Dawn, decided to use a few of her bullets on Leyla - who had accidentally driven into the trouble and could not reverse out fast enough.

It seemed as though Leyla had been killed when the final bullet shot through her windscreen, with the car coming to a stop and Leyla seen slumped on the steering wheel.

Fans could not believe that she had become the latest Meena victim, one person fumed: "If Meena kills Leyla she is DEAD!!!"

Another said: "DON'T U DARE KILL OFF LEYLA!!!!""

And one person said: "What you done to Leyla, Meena!"

One fan felt that the storyline had gone "too far" and took to Twitter to air their complaint, they said: "Emmerdale have gone too far with this Meena storyline".

And another said: "Ohmygod whattttt Layla".

But Leyla was not Meena's only victim in this episode, as the end was left on yet another dramatic cliffhanger.

The credits rolled shortly after a character was spotted lying on the floor, looking seriously hurt or possibly dead.

And fans think that it was Harriet.

One person said: "NOT HARRIET".

Another gutted fan said: "She got Harriet too! She is trying to end everyone I love."

And another said that they "weren't expecting that", while one person said: "Bloody hell she’s killed Harriet and Leyla!"

But not everyone was invested in the drama, as plenty of people took to Twitter and complained that the Meena storyline had dragged on long enough.

One fan said: "I’m so over this! Written by psychopaths soz! At no point has the viewer felt justice, sign of the times we live in I suppose!"

Another commented: "When the cast get ridiculous lines they should refuse to repeat such garbage. Anyone with half a brain cell would have stomped on the psychos face as she lay on the ground laughing. Writers are insulting the audience's intelligence. Paige hamming it up not helping"

And one person said: "That was worse than pulling teeth out #emmerdale. For effs sake (and I don’t swear) there was PLENTY of chances for them to take Meena out so why not? Ok Harriet’s probably gone but why not take Meena out when they had the chance? Pure hell watching this crap."
