Emmerdale fans call out 'annoying' change to show during Meena Jutla exit scenes

Emmerdale fans were pretty divided during Meena Jutla's exit scenes, as her sentencing was announced on Monday night.

Viewers were left "annoyed" over an unusual editing change to the episode, as others claimed it made the scenes even better.

Emmerdale doesn't normally feature music over the top of scenes, but the soap included a piece of classical music that played alongside Meena's exit.

Meena sobbed and screamed as she realised her fate, and was dragged away to her cell where she will spend the rest of her life.

The judge sentenced her to 75 years at least in total, with her being told she would never be allowed out.

Her final scenes showed the villain weeping as she was finally punished for three of the murders she committed, and justice was gained for Ben Tucker, Leanna Cavanagh and Andrea Tate.

But fans quickly noticed the music that was playing over Meena's screams and as Manpreet left the court, and not everyone was a fan.

Some called it "annoying" and asked why it had been included, as others suggested it was a great addition.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "That ending could have been perfect, had it not been for the silly music."

Another agreed: "What’s with all the music it’s damn annoying," as a third said: "The music. The cringe :(."

A fourth viewer wrote: "what on earth is this background music?"

Others liked the change-up though, with one fan tweeting: "The music is making this!"

A second added: "LOVE the music," as a third commented: "wow the ending of that episode was brilliantly done, the music, the slow mo. absolutely amazing."

As the sentencing began, Meena tried to halt proceedings as she realised no one was there to witness it.

After the drama of her trial last week, the loved ones of those killed decided to miss the hearing.

Meena wasn't impressed with her lack of audience, but was told to be quiet by the judge as he began his verdict.

Manpreet did eventually arrive in silence, and watched as her sister learned of her fate.

Meena watched on furiously as the judge told her: "Meena Jutla, you have been convicted by the jury of the murders of Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker.

"Your intention was to kill and you were successful. You killed each of them in the most unexpected and frightful ways. We must now sentence you for those murders."

He went on: "Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker were blameless victims who simply had the misfortune to get in your way. A beloved daughter, a beloved mother and a beloved son needlessly killed by you.

As she was dragged away she begged the officer to let her go (ITV)

"I've seen no genuine remorse from you, you are a manipulative person. You have told many lies and shifted the blame to try and save your own skin."

Stunned that she would not get away with her crimes as each sentence was revealed, she suddenly looked terrified as she realised there was no escape, and everyone had seen through her act.

As she was dragged away she begged the officer to let her go and claimed the judge had got her wrong, before her final scenes saw her sobbing on her bed, begging those in the prison not to ignore her.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
