Emmerdale star addresses big fan theory over Andrea in Meena plot

Emmerdale's Andrea Tate was one of the many victims of serial killer Meena Jutla, being left to die in a burning maize maze.

Fans believe that Andrea may not be dead though, as we didn't technically see her dead, just very very close to death with no way of escape.

"I love the fan theories. I don't go looking for them, but when they get sent to me I love it," actress Anna Nightingale told OK!.

"(Andrea being alive) sounds pretty epic. I would love it... at the moment, it's a chapter done, but you never know, so never say never.

"I'd love to imagine her in some witness protection house, plotting how she's going to return not only for Kim but for Meena as well. I'd like to live in that world. That sounds amazing."

At the moment, the actress is focusing on her family. She recently welcomed daughter Ava Noelle with fiancé Daren Dixon, while her other child Autumn is four years old.

"The whole reason [I left] was to be at home," Anna added. "I want to be with Autumn as she starts school and to put family first for a while and then see what else is out there."

Meena put another evil plan into action this week, and the fates of multiple characters are left hanging in the balance. But how many villagers can she kill before someone realises that it's her?

"Everyone is starting to suss her out and they are not seeing the mask but they are seeing the viper under the mask," actress Paige Sandhu recently teased.

"She is not afraid of what people will think, she is excited at the thought of people seeing who she really is. She is the queen of serial killers and she wants people to see her glory."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
