Emmerdale viewers think they have worked out how the prison guard Ian could be connected to Leyla Harding after Meena Jutla failed to escape the courtroom.
Meena’s court date was finally underway after murdering Ben Tucker, Andrea Tate and Leanna Cavanagh.
And whilst the whole of the village and the viewers at home all knew about her crimes she still went on to deny them in court.

And in true Meena style she went on to shift the blame onto Dr Liam Cavanagh, who is Leanna's father and Dr Manpreet Sharma, who is Meena's sister - which meant they were forced to take the stand.
However it seems Meena’s luck has finally ran out as the jury found her guilty of all the charges made against her, leaving fans divided.
During Thursday’s instalment of the ITV soap, prison guard Ian betrayed killer Meena during her court trial.
It all started when Carol - the sister of Nadine got into a heated argument as Nadine’s death was never ruled as suspicious, but Carol has always been convinced Meena killed her.
Carol decided to get her revenge by attacking the killer with a shard of glass which led to an outburst from Meena who was then holding the courtroom hostage, warning that if anyone tries to escape, she will cut Manpreet’s throat.
The police eventually stormed the building as Meena realised she was going to be either shot or caught, resulting in her desperate decision to take hostage Manpreet down the side of the courtroom as she attempted to make an escape.
However Meena quickly realised that Ian, who she had asked to create an escape route, had failed to open the last door.
A frustrated Meena panicked and after a dramatic scene between the sisters which saw Meena confess to killing their father, the police finally caught the murderer and led her back to the courtroom.
The climactic episode ended with a furious and distressed Meena screaming: "No, this is not how it ends!"
ITV viewers praised prison guard Ian over the door twist, with some predicting he could have a secret link to Leyla, who has made a series of mysterious phone calls in recent episodes.
@silverhorizon5 Tweeted: “I'm sure I've worked out the forthcoming twist. The person that Leyla was mysteriously talking to on the phone last week will be Ian, the prison guard.”
@sofaneilas questioned: “So did leyla hire a hitman or not? Or is Ian a double agent and working for her? or did she just have some other bs wedding business to see to?”
@mmaaxxiinn asked: “Ahhh so it’s Leyla who’s connected to Ian ????? #emmerdale.” While @RyanGTweetsTV added: “Ian the police guard let Meena down I knew he was against her Emmerdale.”
