Meena Jutla’s (Paige Sandhu) cold and calculated nature could prove to be her downfall, after she takes great delight in watching grieving Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) bid farewell to daughter Leanna (Mimi Slinger) in Emmerdale scenes next week.
The sociopath, who killed Leanna several weeks ago, is one of the only residents of the eponymous village in attendance at her funeral.
Liam delivers a heartfelt and emotional eulogy, struggling to hold back tears, in scenes which Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) finds difficult to watch.
Meena, however, takes great pleasure in watching the mourning GP honour his deceased child, and in a twisted move, she clutches onto Leanna’s ring, which she’s worn to the funeral on a chain around her neck!
She continually plays with the item of jewellery, her eyes glued to Liam, who gets down on his knees beside his daughter’s coffin.
But Meena’s actions ultimately endanger her murderous secret, as her inability to leave the ring alone results in it falling from the chain and rolling across the floor, before it collides with Liam’s shoe!
The killer is frozen still, realising what she’s done.
Is Liam about to discover that Meena killed his daughter? Viewers will know that Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) has already copped on to the fact that Leanna’s ring is missing.
If he locates the item by his foot, then Liam could put two and two together and realise Meena is to blame for his daughter’s demise!
‘I suppose it would be interesting if Liam did find out, and what would happen as a consequence,’ mused actor Jonny McPherson, in an exclusive interview with Metro.co.uk.
‘I mean, what would you do in that situation? As a parent of a child who had been murdered by someone, as much as you’d like to rationalise it and have some self-restraint – you’d want the path to lead to justice – at the same time I imagine you’d feel that it is a bit of an eye-for-eye scenario.
‘Somebody who is as reasonable and rational as Liam, competing with an absolute torrent of fury, that would be interesting!’
Will Liam work out that Meena killed Leanna? Only time will tell.
Emmerdale airs these scenes Thursday July 29 at 7pm on ITV.
