Paige Sandhu confirms Meena's Emmerdale exit

By Neil Wilkes, Editor-in-chief | 06 January 2022

Paige Sandhu reveals that her Emmerdale character, evil Meena, will depart the Dales in the near future.

Paige Sandhu has confirmed that Meena's reign of terror will soon be coming to an end on Emmerdale.

The murderous nurse has claimed numerous victims over the last year - including Liam's daughter Leanna, Andrea Tate and Aaron's boyfriend Ben - and over Christmas she took her sister Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) hostage after she figured out the truth.

In episodes due to be shown next week, the net closes in on Meena as Liam (Jonny McPherson) starts to put the pieces together, prompting her to make a drastic and deadly move.

Speaking to Inside Soap this week, Sandhu confirmed Meena's impending exit from the Dales, adding: "I think Meena's hilarious, she's got so much charisma, she's so strange and odd. She's so much fun to play.

"Going to those dark places is really fulfilling but then there's that slightly comedic edge.

"I love her flamboyant nature. I'll miss everything about her."

Sandhu has been on the soap since September 2020.
