Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale revisits another one of Meena Jutla's past manipulations next week.

In the weeks before Meena's crimes came to light, she caused big trouble for Dawn Taylor by trying to separate her from her young son Lucas.

The storyline saw Meena (Paige Sandhu) convince Dawn's ex-boyfriend Alex that his son was being neglected.

Meena encouraged Alex (Liam Boyle) to flee with Lucas, but his escape attempt was ultimately thwarted.

In next week's episodes, Dawn (Olivia Bromley) is looking to the future as she plans her wedding to Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle).

Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton) is moved when Dawn asks her to be maid of honour at the upcoming ceremony.

The happy couple still need to decide on a venue, so Dawn is thrilled when Kim Tate (Claire King) offers up Home Farm as the perfect solution.

Unfortunately, Dawn's excitement is cut short when Alex makes another unwelcome appearance in the village.

Alex begs Dawn to let him explain his previous actions.

Will he explain that Meena messed with his emotions? And what else does he want?

Emmerdale bosses recently revealed that Meena's storyline is far from over, as the villain will finally get her comeuppance at a later date.

Show producer Jane Hudson explained: "Judgement Day for Meena is coming. Whether she will get away with murder or not, you'll have to wait to find out. There are still some more twists and turns to be had and some you won't see coming, but I think we're all agreed that Meena can do pretty much anything.

"Judgemental Day for Meena won't play out quite as you expect and it will have a lasting effect on quite a few of our villagers. I think within the next few months Meena will get what's coming to her."

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