Emmerdale fans in meltdown as killer Meena Jutla 'returns' in new photo

Emmerdale 's Meena Jutla sent viewers into meltdown all over again this week, as actress Paige Sandhu reunited with two of her co-stars.

Fans joked it sealed a comeback for the ruthless serial killer, as many hoped she would return.

Actress Paige posed for a snap with none other than two of Meena's near-victims, Manpreet Sharma and Priya Sharma - played by actresses Fiona Wade and Rebecca Sarker.

Rebecca posted the picture of the trio's reunion on her Instagram page, as they all enjoyed some time out after a dark period in the village.

As viewers saw the picture, many immediately began commenting how much they missed Meena and wanted her back on the show.

Priya actress Fiona recently left the soap too, with fans saying it was good to see her back with her co-stars after her departure.

Of Meena, one fan commented under the image: "Meena," with a series of shocked face emojis.

Meanwhile another viewer wrote of both cast members: "The icons are back?!?!"

A third fan commented on the post: "Meena is back," as a fourth user added: "I miss Meena."

Unfortunately it seems killer Meena will not be returning any time soon, after she faced justice for killing Andrea Tate, Leanna Cavanagh and Ben Tucker, while she also killed her own father years earlier and a friend called Nadine.

Soap boss Jane Hudson recently addressed rumours of a return being in the pipeline for the soap villain, as fans called for a comeback.

Fans had suspected she could already be back in the village, after wrongly believing she could be Rishi Sharma's house intruder.

Jane said to Metro last summer: "Once you’ve done a story as big as Meena’s story, you have to know when to bring it to a close.

"I think we played it to its fullest and it was absolutely brilliant, and Paige was absolutely brilliant – and Meena is now behind bars."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
