Emmerdale star Rebecca Sarker has teased a potential return for Manpreet Sharma's sister Meena. Serial killer Meena Jutla is currently in prison after being convicted for multiple murders, but fans are convinced she could be behind this new storyline.

Rebecca has played Manpreet for several years, with the GP being the centre of a huge storyline at present. Manpreet has been uploading photos online but those pictures are now being used to blackmail her.

‌

Rumours have been circulating about a potential return for Meena - played by Paige Sandhu - amid the new storyline, with suspects including the likes of Joe Tate, Billy Fletcher, Dawn Taylor and Ella Forster amongst others.

‌

Speaking on Lorraine today, she said: "We might find out - we might not. It’s an hour long episode tonight so there’s more scope for that. She’s got herself into a bit of a pickle, posting some saucy photos on the internet on adult subscription sites … She needed affirmation, she needed a boost in her self-esteem. She did get that; it’s quite addictive actually. But then it turned quite toxic."

‌

Rebecca also warned that there were multiple people who could be blackmailing Manpreet over the snaps. She said: "It could be a number of people and a number of candidates. A vendetta against her, somebody in a dire financial situation, someone that’s going through their own relationship problems."

When Lorraine suggested Meena could be responsible, Rebecca added: "The master manipulator!" Speaking about Paige, she added: "It was always lovely working with Paige. There she is!" as Lorraine added "you never know" if Meena might make a return.

Speaking about the storyline, Rebecca admitted it has left Manpreet feeling very "powerless".

"One of the pictures comes to the surgery in an envelope and it’s Manpreet on a bed in a slightly coy position. She then gets these sinister text messages saying 'we know what you’re doing. We know your dirty secret. Don’t go to the police or everybody will find out what you’ve been doing,'" she said, "A real panic ensues, where she goes, 'Oh my God, who is doing this? Why are they doing this? I’ve been so foolish. How have I ended up in this position?’ It’s really very traumatic for her. It started off as something that was so empowering and now somebody’s got this hold over her and she’s absolutely powerless.

"I know that there have been cases like this with professional people - law and medical students, even doctors. It's that separation issue. Can you separate the professional and the personal? You could argue that you should be able to, but it’s never that black and white. People have standards to uphold and professions they can’t bring into disrepute. So, it’s gone a little bit too far for her."
