Emmerdale fans 'work out' huge character return as village hit by devastating storm

Emmerdale fans are sure they know who is making a huge return to mark the soap's 50th anniversary.

The ITV soap is celebrating its big 50th anniversary this month with some huge storylines.

It all began with the tragic and heartbreaking death of Faith Dingle, whilst a storm has now wreaked havoc across the whole village with Kim Tate and Harriet Finch's lives on the line after they both found themselves injured and in need of urgent medical care.

Now viewers are convinced someone could be back as a surprise return to cause even more chaos in the Dales - and they're convinced the storm has allowed them a chance to return to the village.

As fans discussed what could happen next, one viewer suggested there was one character that we hadn't heard of yet.

"Could be a bit too far fetched but is it possible that the storm damages the prison where Meena is being held and she escapes to wreak her revenge?!" one fan suggested online, as another added: "That's not far fetched at all!"

"Would love that to happen!" a third shared as they called for the return of serial killer Meena Jutla.

Another fan has insisted Meena must make a return soon, adding: "Ok where is Meena? I expect to see the cows push down her prison cell walls next week and to see her return for one last hurrah spree of murder #Emmerdale."

Actress Paige had previously teased to The Mirror about her possible return to the show.

"I've loved playing Meena and I think she is so manipulative - I wouldn't put it past her twisting him around her little finger or another prison guard or anyone," she said earlier this year when asked about heading back to the Dales, "I think right now she's in prison, she's been in prison, she's living it up, she's going to find her escape room and she's going to come back."

Bosses have ruled out a return for the serial killer - but some fans are convinced that could just be a red herring thrown in by producers so that her return wasn't suspected by fans

Paige is also keen to see a Meena spin-off of the ITV soap, something popular with fans too.

She added: "I would love to have a spin-off! Are you kidding me? I would love to! Someone did a petition for a Meena spin-off. I don't know how well that did. I think if there is a spin-off it would do really well!"

*Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
