Emmerdale hints Brenda Walker could bring down evil Meena Jutla

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale's Meena Jutla has been on a roaring rampage of death ever since her arrival in the village, killing both Andrea Tate and Leanna Cavanagh, as well as an unseen character named Nadine, plus the multiple murder attempts on top of it.

So far no-one has been able to stop her, but scenes next week will see one detective step up to the plate: Brenda Walker.

ITV

Yup, the café owner (officially, but her real job is more like Village Gossip) sees the police return after the fight between Meena and Ben Tucker that will air Thursday (November 25). With this incident being the latest in a string of crimes plaguing the village lately, Brenda decides to set up a community crime-fighting force, one she dubs 'Emmer-watch'.

With everyone on the lookout for anything suspicious, and Brenda's natural disposition to know everything about everyone, could this actually be how Meena's reign of terror starts to unravel?

Or... could the unthinkable happen, and could Meena actually end up killing Brenda?

We don't know yet exactly how or when Meena's storyline will come to an end, but actress Paige Sandhu has explained her ideal scenario.

"In my dreams, this is what happens. Manpreet and Meena are there in the street. It's nighttime and Meena's about to kill someone, so Manpreet has to save this person," she said.

"The only way Manpreet can save this person is by killing Meena, so she does it.

"Then Meena dies in Manpreet's arms and they have this beautiful sisterly moment where Meena almost confesses love for her. She's almost normal and able to feel something – and then she dies! That's what I want."

Emmerdale airs these scenes on Thursday, December 2 at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.
