Who was Meena Jutla on Emmerdale?

Paige played Meena on Emmerdale from September 2020 – April 2022.

She arrived in the village looking to repair her relationship with sister Manpreet.

However, it quickly became clear that Meena wasn’t all that she claimed to be.

It was revealed that Meena resented her sister – the more popular and loved of the two siblings – and that their relationship had fallen apart when Meena slept with Manpreet’s then-husband.

As she attempted to ingratiate herself into Manpreet’s life, Meena was shown to be conniving, cruel and dangerous.

Prior to arriving in the village, she had killed her own father and former best friend.

She then killed Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker.

The story culminated in her holding Manpreet hostage in the show’s Christmas storyline.

Meena is currently serving a life sentence for her crimes. Although she remains in prison, her return is always a distant possibility.

Could Meena return to Emmerdale?
