    As fans predict Meena is messaging Manpreet, Paige Sandhu has bad news about an Emmerdale return

    For two years Meena Jutla terrorised Emmerdale village killing off many of its residents. But she was finally caught and sent to prison – however some viewers think she might be on her way back.

    With Manpreet receiving mysterious messages that she’s keeping very quiet about, there is speculation it could be her imprisoned sister Meena behind the texts.

    Manpreet getting mystery messages in Emmerdale

    Last night (Monday February 24) Manpreet was getting messages to her phone. She was very secretive about them and claimed it was patient confidentiality. But something told us she wasn’t being truthful.

    Next week, the messages are still appearing. And when Liam picks up Manpreet’s phone by accident, she reacts strangely. Chas is suspicious, but just what is Manpreet hiding?

    Well, some fans are convinced they definitely know and are sure it’s Meena.

    “Wonder who the mystery person texting Manpreet was – maybe her daughter Aiesha or even Meena from prison,” mused one on social media. 

    Another wasn’t so keen on the idea: “Oh no – please don’t go down the Meena road again!”

    “If Meena has escaped and does return to the show, I will definitely be watching I loved Meena,” shared a third. 

    A fourth agreed: “John is a serial killer. My God, it would be delicious to have Meena back in the Village, too.”

    Is Meena Jutla returning to Emmerdale?

    Emmerdale has said nothing at all about a comeback for the serial killer.

    Paige gave hope for a return in June 2022, months after Meena’s exit. She spoke to OK! as the soap was gearing up for it’s 50th anniversary in October of that year.

    She revealed: “You know what, never say never, anything goes in Emmerdale, especially for the 50th.

    “It’s going to be the biggest and best year yet. In the past, historically, Emmerdale has broken other prisoners out of jail so it could happen,” she teased. “But we’ll see.”

    However, despite her enthusiasm, just months later, she ruled out a return completely. Speaking to Digital Spy in October 2022, Paige said: “I have been asked about it a lot and it’s so lovely! I’m surprised that many people remember me, to be honest, because it’s been ages since I’ve been on.”

    However she then said the one thing fans didn’t want to hear: “No, it’s not a possibility and it won’t be a possibility. I’ve loved playing her and I’ve loved working at Emmerdale, but I feel like the story came to an end.

    “I mean, we did do everything, didn’t we? We went for it! I feel like to come back would be over-egging the story.”

    What has Paige said recently about a return to Emmerdale for Meena?

    Her last comments about a potential comeback were in 2022. Three years have passed and Paige has remained silent on the subject. So could she have changed her mind?

    She is currently filming a movie about the Suffragette movement called Lioness. Paige plays Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, granddaughter of the Lion of Punjab, youngest daughter of the deposed Maharajah Duleep and Queen Victoria’s Goddaughter.

    She described the role as “A dream come true” when announcing it on her Instagram last year.

  • As Emmerdale confirms Nate is corpse in lake, all the questions soap must answer

    As Emmerdale confirms Nate is corpse in lake, all the questions soap must answer

    We put the pieces together earlier this week and now it has been confirmed that Nate Robinson is the body in the lake in Emmerdale. But with the one person who saw him there now dead, we have A LOT of questions that the soap needs to answer.

    Nate left in September 2024 in somewhat strange circumstances – and fans have long suspected all wasn’t as it seemed. Now they have been proven right with this week’s dramatic episodes.

    Nate's last scene Emmerdale

    What happened to Nate in Emmerdale?

    So, if we back up to September 2024, Nate was rekindling things with estranged wife Tracy. They were about to move to Shetland together, where he had been offered a job building a wind farm.

    However, Moira Dingle, in the midst of battling her brain tumour (although no one knew it yet) made a pass at Nate and all hell broke loose. Caleb witnessed it, told Cain, who punched the living daylights out of Nate. Tracy then dumped him, unable to trust him and Nate decided it was best if he went to Shetland alone.

    The last time we saw him, he was talking to John Sugden. Nate was getting wound up about how badly he’d been treated and had decided to confront Moira. He told John that’s where he was going, stormed off to do so and the next thing we know Tracy gets a text from him in Shetland saying he’s got there, but not to call him because his head is a mess.

    Nate then never responded when he was told his grandad Zak Dingle had died and didn’t turn up at his funeral.

    All of this has made viewers vey suspicious – and it turns out we were right to be!

    Nate confirmed dead in Emmerdale

    Yes, us Emmerdale fans know when something isn’t right and the abruptness of his exit has had us questioning this for so long.

    This week the girls of the village went on a night out in a limo and it crashed on to a frozen lake. Amy Barton was making her way to safety across the ice when it cracked and she fell in. In the water she saw a hand wearing a very distinctive friendship bracelet – the same ones Frankie likes to make, and the one that her daddy, Nate, was wearing before he left.

    Everyone guessed it was Nate’s body, however it was only tonight (Thursday September 20) that confirmed it.

    Amy was fighting for her life in hospital with hypothermia. But she began to stir and whispered to husband Matty: “Nate,” and “underwater”. Matty thought she meant she’d been underwater, so she said again: “Nate”, but he didn’t seem to understand.

    We understood, of course, she was telling him Nate was under the water.

    What happens next…

    At the end of the episode the limo was pulled from the lake by police divers. Vanessa and Tracy watched as it looked like Suzy’s body had been recovered.

    But it seems Nate’s body is still in the water. The closing shots saw the body, wrapped in tarpaulin and chains, with just the arm floating free, sinking back down to the depths.

    So Nate’s body remains undiscovered. But now we know about it, it has to be found, right?

    Questions about Emmerdale’s Nate that the soap need to answer

    When will the body be found?

    Now Amy is dead, there is no one to reveal what she saw. Matty is in far too much pain and agony to focus on her final words. But once things settle a little, will he remember and try to get to the bottom of it? Or is Emmerdale going to leave Nate in the lake for months, making us all frustrated? Please, Emmerdale, don’t drag this one out!

    Who killed Nate in Emmerdale?

    It’s the big one, really, isn’t it? It’s obvious he didn’t just trip and fall to his death in the lake. He was murdered, wrapped up and put there. And who do we know who is an expert at disposing of a body?

    Umm hmm, that’s right, John Sugden.

    He has recently got rid of Anthony Fox’s corpse and he was the last person to see Nate alive, so he is a very good bet to be the killer.

    Other suspects include Caleb and some fans are even wondering if it was Moira!

    Why would John kill him?

    So assuming it was John who offed Nate, why did he do it? He barely knew the guy!

    Is he a serial killer on the lookout for any victim who crosses his path? Or did Nate find out something about John meaning he had to be silenced?

    We need a motive for this murder so we’re expecting a full-on flashback to explain everything, Emmerdale.

    Is it Nate’s grave Cain is stood at?

    Speculation has been rife ever since New Year when the soap aired five flashforwards over one involving Cain. He was seen standing and weeping at a grave, fresh from attending the funeral.

    Theories over the dead person have included Caleb – who was seen flatlining – Moira – who was suffering a brain tumour – and Liam – who was also involved in the crash.

    But it seems now we have our answer: is it Nate’s funeral? Is Cain grieving over his lost son, especially after beating him to a pulp the last time he saw him?

    Natalie Ann Jamieson in profile: Why she won’t marry her partner of 14 years and previous connection to soap mum Laura Norton

    Natalie Ann Jamieson joined Emmerdale in 2019 as Amy Wyatt. She has appeared on the soap for five years having been involved in plenty of hard-hitting storylines.

    But in real life, things are nice and settled for Natalie as she lives with her partner of 14 years. But don’t ask about marriage, because it seems that won’t be happening for them!

    Natalie Ann Jamieson joins Emmerdale as Amy Wyatt

    In 2019, Emmerdale decided to bring back the character of Amy Wyatt. Chelsea Halfpenny had originally played the role and she had departed in 2013. Amy was seen going to Ireland after a failed attempt to kidnap her son, Kyle.

    Her mum, Kerry, tracked her down in 2019 in order to stop Cain getting custody of Kyle. She found Amy in Belfast being attacked by a scruffy man. Kerry assumed her daughter had become a prostitute but disgusted Amy said she worked at a women’s shelter and was fighting off one of the women’s abusive husbands.

    Amy refused to return to help get Kyle back. However the next day she secretly returned and decided to fight for Kyle.

    She subsequently settled in the village, split custody of Kyle with Cain and married Matty Barton, becoming Amy Barton.

    Natalie’s early life

    Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, Natalie arrived into the world on February 9 1988. That makes her 37 years old. She is a huge Newcastle United fan.

    Natalie attended the Live Youth Theatre in Newcastle and later studied acting at Rose Bruford College.

    To pay for drama school Natalie worked two jobs – a department store during the day and a club at night. She also had a job dressing as a Tudor and talking people on tours of the city.

    What else has she been in?

    Natalie’s television debut was in an episode of ITV crime drama Vera. She made her film debut in I, Daniel Blake. An episode of Doctors followed in 2018 before she got the part in Emmerdale.

    Natalie actually attended the same drama school as on-screen mum Laura Norton (Kerry Wyatt). She even performed in a play that Laura had written.

    The women share an agent, so Natalie was pleased to know someone when she was auditioning for the role of Amy.

    Since joining Emmerdale, Natalie has appeared on shows raising money for charity. These included Celebrity Mastermind where her topic was Absolutely Fabulous. She played to raise money for Cure Usher, which is the charity backed by Laura, whose children both suffer from the condition.

    Natalie Ann Jamieson on marriage

    Natalie and her partner Ali Ward have been together for 14 years. However Natalie is not interested in marriage!

    When she was filming her on-screen wedding to Matty Barton, the actress told The Mirror that Ali had suggested she propose to him as it was a leap year, when women traditionally propose to men.

    “I replied, ‘They’ve just been saying on the news how it’s a really outdated tradition. Besides, I am getting married tomorrow at Emmerdale. One wedding is enough for now’.”

    She also added: “We’ve been together ages, 14 years, and getting married is way down on the priority list. We are just very happy as we are.”

    And if she did ever think about getting hitched? “I am a very practical person and I’ve always thought I wouldn’t opt for a traditional white wedding dress, but rather one that I can wear again,” Natalie explained.

    “When people tell me how much they have spent on a wedding, I think, ‘You could probably go around the world twice with the amount of money involved’. And Ali and I would definitely prefer to do that.”

    Her life has had its ups and downs, so let’s take a look at a complete timeline of Amy Barton (neé Wyatt) in Emmerdale.

    2010 – Amy arrives in Emmerdale

    When her car broke down in Emmerdale village in October 2010, we met Amy Wyatt for the first time. She was played by Chelsea Halfpenny. Amy was clearly used to scamming as she pretended to be pregnant by stuffing a jumper up her top, lied she was a trainee nurse to get a discount at the B&B and then tried to flee without paying.

    Victoria Sugden soon realised Amy was only 16 and had run away from her foster care home. It wasn’t long before social services turned up and took her back to her foster parents.

    But Amy returned to visit Victoria not long afterwards, who hid her new mate in the basement of the B&B. It wasn’t long before Val Pollard found her and the two developed a close bond. Eventually Amy moved in with Val and Eric and the were granted approval to adopt her.

    2011 – One-night stand with Cain and baby bombshell

    Amy grew close to Pollard’s son David Metcalfe and developed a bit of a crush on him. He was kind to her and paid her attention and she even slept with Cain Dingle to make David jealous.

    When Amy then tried to kiss David, he let her down gently, but she blackmailed him by pretending they slept together. Eventually Amy was caught out.

    It wasn’t long before her liaison with Cain came back to haunt her: she was pregnant with his baby. Cain was not gallant at all over the revelation telling her to have an abortion or he would hurt her.

    However Amy was too far gone to terminate the pregnancy and had to have the baby. She went into labour on December 1 2011 and gave birth to a baby boy in the churchyard. She believed the baby to be stillborn as he didn’t move or cry, so wrapped him in her jumper and left him in the local telephone box.

    Amy confessed what had happened to David, but Hazel Rhodes had already found the baby and called an ambulance. David got Amy to hospital where she apologised to Eric and Val for keeping her pregnancy a secret.

    The baby was called Kyle after Kylie, the nurse who looked after him. But Amy struggled to care for him and after almost drowning him in the bath, she called social services to come and collect him. She wanted him to be adopted so he didn’t have to live in foster care like she did.

    Val was distraught, but Amy remained firm and Kyle was given up for adoption.

    2012 – Amy reunites with mum Kerry Wyatt in Emmerdale

    On a night out in Hotten, Amy kissed a guy, but was pulled off him and attacked by his girlfriend – who turned out to be Amy’s estranged mum Kerry.

    Kerry moved to the Dales and started a relationship with Andy Sugden. However that ended badly when she got drunk looking after his son Jack and started a fire.

    Kerry went on holiday and when she came back she found Amy and Andy kissing. She tricked Andy into believing she was pregnant to split them up. When the truth was revealed neither Andy nor Amy wanted anything to do with her.

    2013 – Amy kidnaps Kyle and leaves Emmerdale

    In 2013 Kyle’s adoptive parents died and Amy decided to go to the funeral. Kyle was now under the care of his adoptive grandmother Joanie Wright. Amy claimed to be a friend of his parents and began babysitting for him. But when Joanie discovered the truth, Amy was banned from having any contact with him.

    Joanie softened, but when Amy wanted to get full custody she was told by social services she didn’t have any chance. Amy then tried to force her way into Joanie’s home to see Kyle so Joanie took out restraining order.

    Desperate to get her son back, Amy kidnapped Kyle from his playgroup and tried to flee with Ireland with him. Cain managed to stop her at the ferry, but even though she didn’t take Kyle, Amy ran to Ireland alone for a new life.

    2019 – Amy returns to Emmerdale – with a new face!

    In 2019 Kyle was living with Cain Dingle after Joanie’s death and Kerry wanted him back. So she travelled to Ireland to track down Amy so she could help fight for custody.

    Amy, now played by Natalie Ann Jamieson, was being attacked by a man when Kerry found her, but Amy revealed she was working for a women’s shelter and it was the violent husband of one of the women. Amy refused to return to Emmerdale.

    However she later relented and came back, where the Dingles warned her she had no legal rights to Kyle. Amy told Cain she would fight him, but Cain agreed she could see Kyle and tell him she was his mum. Kyle took the news well and they began to grow closer.

    2019 – Kerry and Amy kill Frank

    Amy was being blackmailed by a woman who she owed £4000. Amy had stolen the woman’s money to pay off loan sharks after her boyfriend racked up loads of debt and then legged it.

    Kerry wanted to help so the pair decided to rob the sweet factory to get the money to pay Karen back. But when they went back to destroy the CCTV of them robbing the place, they started a fire. The factory exploded and Frank Clayton was killed.

    Frank’s daughter Tracy found out the truth and a scuffle led to Kerry falling and hitting her head. She agreed not to go to the police over the injuries if Tracy kept quiet over the fire.

    To this day, neither Kerry nor Amy have been punished for the fire.

    2020 – Getting together with Matty

    Amy grew close to Matty Barton in 2020, but vengeful Tracy tried to sabotage their union. However it seemed love really did win out and the pair eventually got together properly.

    2024 – Amy married Matty in Emmerdale, but then he goes to prison

    2024 was a year of ups and downs for Amy. Firstly she and Matty got married in April in the soap’s first transgender wedding. It almost didn’t happen when Kerry promised to pay for it all, but was unable to come up with the funds. However Eric stepped in and helped it go ahead so Amy and Matty got to say I do.

    But months after their happy union, things turned sour when Matty was arrested and sent to prison for stabbing Samson Dingle. In fact, he had been holding a knife when Samson had been pushed on to him, so it had been a complete accident. But egged on by his transphobic friend, Samson had lied to the police and said Matty attacked him for no reason.

    Matty endured weeks in prison, terrified to even shower in case they discover he was transgender. Amy stood by him throughout and fought to get him his freedom. Eventually Samson came clean and Matty was released. But his experience left him scarred.

    2025 – Adoption and limo disaster death reveal

    As things settled down for Amy and Matty she started to feel broody. After ambushing Matty, the pair agreed they would adopt and had a successful meeting with a social worker in February.

    However tragedy struck when Amy went on a girls’ night out and the limo they were travelling in crashed on to a frozen lake. Amy fell under the ice and was taken to hospital battling severe hypothermia.

    But the big news is while she was under the water she found the body of Nate Robinson. She’s the only person who knows he’s dead and not in Shetland!

    Amy has now died, so who is going to reveal that death now?

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Atmospheric music, cinematic filming and gripping storylines – this episode was a triumph

    Emmerdale tonight was brilliant, the action jumping between the girls trying to get out of the icy lake and Cain and Moira, Caleb and Ruby dealing with the fallout of Cain and Ruby sleeping together.

    A perfectly pitched episode, featuring amazing music, fabulous camera work and brilliant performances all added up to a triumphant episode.

    Here’s how Emmerdale played out tonight, Tuesday February 18.

    Cain confessed and Caleb confronted Ruby

    As Cain lay battered on the floor everyone told him to get himself home. Mandy insisted he needed a doctor but he told them all to just leave him.

    Caleb returned home and told Ruby what he knew. She broke down and confessed it was never about Cain, it was just about her dad and hating herself and wanting to destroy herself. Caleb told her she had broke his heart.

    He packed a bag, ready to leave, but Ruby told him she wasn’t giving up on them. Caleb told her he understood, she wasn’t in her right mind. He said he loved her so much and he believed Cain had taken advantage of her and used her. Caleb declared them unbreakable and they reconciled.

    Meanwhile, at Butlers, Moira woke to find Cain mopping up his wounds. She soon realised something had happened when she saw his face. She wanted answers.

    So Cain gathered himself, made them a cup of tea and confessed he had slept with Ruby. Will she forgive him? Is this the end of Cain and Moira? We’re devastated if so, but is there really any coming back from this? 

    Who died in Emmerdale tonight?

    Amy

    Back at the frozen lake, Amy was sinking deeper into the water and Tracy gallantly raced back across the ice to pull her out.

    Amy then lay frozen at the water’s edge, hypothermia taking over her body.

    Leyla

    They shouted for Kerry and Leyla to get out quickly as the limo was almost submerged, but Leyla revealed to Kerry the glass in her side and was barely conscious. Kerry was determined to find a way to get them both out, but with a broken foot, it wasn’t looking likely.

    Kerry managed it, though, and dragged Leyla together across the ice. When the ice cracked and Kerry nearly rolled in, Vanessa risked her life to go and get Leyla to safety so Kerry could get herself out alive.

    Elsewhere, Liam was slowly fading on the banks of the lake, with Chas desperate to keep him alive.

    Charity finally got signal and phoned the emergency services, begging them to help. As she surveyed the scene of the crash and all her injured friends and family, Charity mouthed she was sorry.

    As the ambulances raced the injured to the hospital, Vanessa and Tracy stayed at the scene as the former broke down screaming over Suzy’s death.

    Back in the ambulances, we heard the tragic news delivered over the radio that they had “one patient dead on arrival” – so which one is it?

    What was the music playing in Emmerdale tonight?

    So far this week, Emmerdale has been brilliant with this stunt (and that’s coming from someone who does not like soap stunts!) The way it has been shot and directed with focus purely on characters has felt cinematic.

    Even the scenes away from the lake crashes – with Caleb and Ruby’s confrontation and Cain and Moira’s confession – seemed to have been shot differently to usual Emmerdale.

    The backgrounds were out of focus, and all we could see were the people. This way of putting the characters front and centre felt like we were there and experiencing it with them. The emotions were all the more heightened and real.

    The music meanwhile, has been incredibly fitting. The instruments playing at heightened pitches as the drama increased, covering the distressed cries of Vanessa as she mourned Suzy, was pitched just right.

    It always feels more emotionally charged when music like this is played instead of hearing characters screaming in turmoil.

    If you were wondering, the piece that accompanied tonight’s action was called Power-Haus by Balder (featuring Christian Reindl and Lucie Paradis). And what a powerhouse choice it was.

  • Why Amy definitely won’t die in the Emmerdale lake crash

    Why Amy definitely won’t die in the Emmerdale lake crash

    The lake limo crash in Emmerdale has had us gripped this week with lives on the line – but we’re pretty certain Amy Barton is not one of those who will die.

    Amy is very much at risk, and one thing we know is she is one of four people in an ambulance being taken to hospital. One of those four has been declared dead.

    Although some fans are certain Amy has met her maker, we’re certain she hasn’t – let us explain why.

    Emmerdale tonight saw one more death

    On Tuesday February 18, the aftermath of the lake limo crash continued. With Chas, Liam, Vanessa and Tracy safely away from the vehicle, Amy had fallen under the ice. Tracy risked her own life to go back and pull her out from the water. With hypothermia setting in, Amy lost consciousness and when the ambulance crew arrived she was unresponsive.

    Meanwhile, Liam had had a nasty bump to the head. He was lying in Chas’ arms, struggling to stay awake. She begged him to keep with her, but he slowly fell asleep.

    In the limo, Leyla revealed to Kerry glass had impaled her side in the crash. She too was struggling to keep her eyes open. Kerry refused to leave her and despite having a broken foot herself, started to drag her across the ice. When Kerry almost fell in, Vanessa went to help and pulled Leyla to safety. But was it too late?

    Also at risk was Noah, who Charity had found in the woodland, collapsed to the floor. He was taken in an ambulance, but we are pretty sure he survives and is revealed to have been spiked.

    So with these lives on the line, when the paramedic in one ambulance announced “one patient dead on arrival” we all wondered who it was.

    Why we’re sure Amy will not die in Emmerdale

    Although some believe Amy has met a watery fate, we think there is one very good reason she will definitely survive: what she saw under the water.

    As Amy sank down to the depths, she was terrified to see a dead body. We only saw the hand, but what that hand showed us was a distinctive bracelet – just like the ones little Frankie made and just like the one her daddy, Nate Robinson, was wearing when he abruptly left the Dales and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

    So we are pretty convinced Nate is under the water and Amy is the only one who knows about it. Therefore she HAS to survive so she can tell everyone. And then we’ve got a whole other storyline that looks into how he died.

    It all ties in to the flashforward that saw Cain weeping at a grave – Nate is his son, so it all adds up.

    And Amy is the key to moving this storyline forward, so there’s no way she’ll die. That just leaves Leyla and Liam…

  • Emmerdale fans can’t decide who died tonight – but it’s not looking good for Amy, Leyla and Liam

    Emmerdale fans can’t decide who died tonight – but it’s not looking good for Amy, Leyla and Liam

    Four unconscious Emmerdale faves were taken to hospital on Tuesday February 18, but one was declared dead on arrival – so who died tonight? We can’t decide and neither can fans.

    Amy, Leyla, Liam and Noah were all rushed to Hotten General for urgent treatment. Only Noah hadn’t been in the limo that crashed onto the ice – but he was the reason it crashed when Charity swerved to avoid him.

    After Charity got herself out of the car and found her son unconscious in the woods, she managed to call for help. But the emergency services arrived too late for one person. Who?

    Emmerdale confirms another death

    On Tuesday February 18, the drama after the limo lake crash continued. With Charity, Chas, Tracy, Vanessa and Liam all safely on the banks of the lake, Liam’s condition started to worsen. Chas tried to keep him awake and as warm as she could, but he had a bump to the head and was disorientated and clearly in a bad way.

    Meanwhile, Amy fell in the ice last night, where she discovered a dead body. She was fighting to get back up to the top, but couldn’t break through the ice again and started to sink down. Fortunately, Tracy risked her own life to rush back across the lake and pull her out.

    As Amy lay shivering on the embankment, hypothermia was clearly setting in. By the time the ambulances arrived, Kerry was craddling her daughter in her arms, but she was unconscious.

    In the limo, Leyla had remained silent about the glass that had cut her side. She finally told Kerry, who insisted she wouldn’t leave her behind and dragged her out. But with a broken foot, Kerry couldn’t save the both of them and when she almost fell through the ice, Vanessa rushed back across to drag Leyla to safety.

    However, Leyla was now unconscious and it isn’t looking good for her at all.

    As the ambulances finally arrived, the three in the worst condition were loaded in. Also taken away was Noah, who was unconscious as well – but no one knows what has happened to him.

    Just before the credits rolled, one of the paramedics radioed in to the hospital that one person was dead on arrival. But we don’t know who.

    Who died in Emmerdale tonight?

    So we know Amy, Liam, Leyla and Noah were in a critical condition. It looks like Noah will survive, given we know his storylines later in the week. So that leaves Amy, Liam and Leyla.

    Speculation was rife after the episode: “I wonder who it’s gonna be that goes? It’s between Liam, Leyla, Amy or Noah. I’m thinking it’s going to be Leyla as she was badly injured!” shared one viewer on social media.

    Other fans were more certain in their theories.

    “Amy has to be the one dead confirmed on arrival right?” said one. Another agreed: “I think Amy is sadly dead in the ice.”

    But more popular than Amy were Leyla and Liam: “I fear Leyla has just died,’we have one patient, dead on arrival’, my heart is physically in pieces, I have adored Leyla for so many years it’s gonna hurt so much to lose her.”

    Someone else said: “The way Leyla is prob gonna die (bc Roxy has left) and I’m not ready to lose her.”

    “Pretty certain it will be Liam and Leyla that die,” shared another.

    Liam also proved a popular choice: “Have a feeling Liam is going to be the next one not to survive this limousine accident,” said one. “I reckon Liam too, because Chas never gets any happiness does she?” agreed another.
