Meena Jutla's court bombshell prompted angry fans to beg "stop" during tonight's episode of Emmerdale.
Thursday's edition of the long-running soap continued to explore the evil nurse's reign of terror in the Yorkshire village. The ITV show's resident villain has been causing havoc since she killed Leanna Cavanagh last summer.
She has since claimed the lives of Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker - and also murdered her friend Nadine before she moved to the Yorkshire Dales. Meena held her sister Manpreet Sharma and Vinny Dingle hostage before she managed to escape the village in January.

Meena returned to the show last month to gatecrash Dawn Taylor and Billy Fletcher's wedding, but has been in prison ever since she was arrested after Liam Cavanagh threw her off Humpback Bridge.
Meena insisted she was not guilty of committing any crimes, before police revealed they had found gloves in her room that had traces of Ben Tucker's blood. This prompted the character, played by Paige Sandhu, to change her approach as she tearfully admitted to killing Ben, but claimed this was in self-defence.
Meena finally got her day in court during tonight's hour long episode as she revealed her pleas to her crimes. The character surprised the people in the gallery when she pleaded guilty to all charges of attempted murder and kidnapping.
However, she pleaded not guilty to the three murder charges and Manpreet suffered a panic attack before she was called to the witness stand, which indicates the storyline looks set to continue. Viewers following the show on Twitter took to the social media platform and demanded the show put an end to the plot
Kellie said: "I love Meena but this whole storyline needs to stop. I’m sick of it.. it’s been going on for almost a year"
Fiona added: "Was really hoping that Meena would plead guilty. Not because it’s the right thing to do, but because it means that with a trial this storyline is going to last even longer than it already has."
Julia tweeted: "Oh Meenadale come on and finish this storyline."
Rian posted : "This storyline is boring and pathetic. Get Meena out now bye"
Colin tweeted: "Should have been a guilty plea to all charges, judge sends her down for life, Meena story over and done. But no. The writers have got to stretch it out some more."
Matthew added: "Can we please just declare Meena unfit for trial and end this charade like now"
Mel said: "I'm no lawyer but I know that those counts would be enough to send Meena down for a long time without a guilty plea from her, but will they? Hell no! we have to go through a farce of a trial now!"
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub
