Emmerdale actress Paige Sandhu has teased serial killer Meena Jutla makes a big slip up as her downfall looms.
Paige has been on the ITV soap for 18 months and recently confirmed she will soon be exiting the role, meaning Meena's murderous reign over the Yorkshire village will soon come to the end.
But there are some big storylines still to come from Meena as the residents of the village get closer to working out she is behind the deaths of her friend Nadine and villagers Leanna Cavanagh, Ben Tucker and Andrea Tate.
Meena has also tried to kill her sister Manpreet and there are some other villagers still in her sights to meet their grisly end.
"I think we have got a bit of exhilaration. As we go on, I wouldn't say that she's out of her depth, but I would say that she is definitely feeling the stress," she is quoted by Digital Spy as she discussed Meena's struggles.
"She's having to juggle so many things while also having to keep her mask in the village, like we've seen Rishi is very suspicious of her, Liam is starting to get suspicious, there's Billy and Dawn snooping around and with Vinny, that adds all of the Dingles into the mix."
She added: "All of that is adding to the stress that she is feeling. But at the same time, she thrives off being spontaneous. It's thrilling to her to be able to kill another person, which is horrible. There is both going on."
And Paige has admitted Meena's plan has been forced to undergo a dramatic change after she feels her "mask is slipping".
Paige teased: "I think at the beginning, she definitely is trying to keep up the mask so that she can stay in the village.
"Then, after a while, it becomes clear that things aren't working out for her so she goes to her second plan which is to reveal her true colours to everyone. There is something thrilling about that, that everyone will finally know about all the things she's done."
Paige previously described Meena as "strange, odd and hilarious" - as she admitted she'll miss the character.
"I think Meena’s hilarious, she’s got so much charisma, she’s so strange and odd," she said, "She’s so much fun to play. Going to those dark places is really fulfilling but then there’s that slightly comedic edge. I love her flamboyant nature. I’ll miss everything about her."
