Emmerdale fans were left reeling as Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) was pushed to her death in the first of tonight’s two episodes, at the brutal hands of Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu).
Viewers have watched on in terror as Meena stepped up her manipulation on the locals in the Dales this week, with a question mark over who she would claim as her first victim.
With Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) not falling for her plans, she set her sights on Leanna, with the pair clashing tonight.
The instalment saw Leanna questioning the suspicious circumstances behind Meena’s former best friend’s death.
‘I didn’t mean for her to die,’ she spilled, before warning Liam Cavanagh’s daughter that ‘spiteful little snoopers don’t get to walk away’.
Things took a turn as they ended up in the cemetery, with Leanna running away as Meena chillingly sang I Gotta Feeling as she walked behind.
The pair dramatically tussled before she pushed the birthday girl over the bridge and to her death, with the credits rolling shortly after she had a creepy subtle smile on her face.
The second episode threw us right back into the sinister scene as Meena attempted to start crying as she peered at Leanna’s unmoving body, but had no remorse in her as she all-but skipped away from the scene.
Fans were shaken by the scenes, and flocked to Twitter to discuss the callous character.
‘This is top-notch stuff from @Emmerdale this evening. #Emmerdale,’ a viewer commented.
‘I’m gutted Leanna’s dead :( Mimi Slinger has been fantastic to watch she’s gonna go far #Emmerdale xx,’ another agreed.
A Twitter user replied: ‘Well at least Leanna tried to fight back. I think she’s dead now though there is no coming back from this #Emmerdale.’
One said: ‘Omfg leanne!!! Meena you psycho #Emmerdale,’
‘#Emmerdale It looks like Meena has claimed her victim. I’m so sad that Leanna dies. She was a well developed character and I was only just getting used to her change in her character. I bloody HATE YOU Meena I hope you get all that is coming to you ,’ a follower said.
Despite the chilling scenes, many also took a moment to heap praise on Paige for her incredible acting skills as the deranged killer.
‘Meena Jutla is deviously funny. She’s cold, calculating and very dangerous but that “oops” gave the character some comedy.
#Emmerdale #PaigeSandhu,’ a viewer raved.
Another social media follower posted: ‘Paige Sandhu has been brilliant tonight. Absolutely incredible scenes #Emmerdale.’
As one added: ‘Paige Sandhu is doing so brilliantly as killer Meena #Emmerdale.’
Emmerdale bosses previously teased Meena’s manipulative nature and that she was ‘hellbent on getting what she wants’.
They also warned, ‘woe betide anyone who stands in her way.’
But will other locals find out the truth behind Leanna’s death? Or will Meena claim another life?
