Emmerdale fans think they've figured out a twist involving serial killer Meena Jutla that will see her stay in the Yorkshire village until the autumn.
The evil character's fate was revealed during last night's episode (17 February), which saw Meena survive her horror fall.
Dr Liam Cavanagh was arrested for attempted murder, but he was eventually set free - with Meena taken by police for questioning.
The GP pushed Meena off the same bridge where she killed his daughter Leanna Cavanagh last summer and fans were convinced it might finally end her killer streak once and for all.

But some fans of the show are convinced Meena will stay in the programme until October and her exit storyline will be part of a huge 50th anniversary celebration, reports the Mirror.
Faizal Perager shared on Twitter: "Emmerdale Psycho Meena isn't dead. She'll recover, be arrested for her crimes, go to Prison and then she'll return more unhinged for revenge on everyone in October in the show's big 50th Anniversary Week episodes!"
Twitter user James said: "Now I think about it I can see Meena escaping prison and coming back for the 50th anniversary causing chaos which I have to say I wouldn’t complain because she is one of the best villains in soaps."
"Keeping Meena for the 50th anniversary special. #emmerdale," Jfield added, while SisterSkingo was not so keen on the idea, writing: "If they drag this out to October I will be vex yuh see #emmerdale."
It comes after show bosses teased a huge 50th anniversary on the ITV soap.
Speaking to the press, the show's producers hinted: "We’ve been thinking about the 50th all the time.
"I think we probably held back some of our big ideas while Covid was so prominent in our lives because we didn’t know what we could achieve. But Super Soap Week has really shown us what we can do."
As well as huge stunts, bosses want to create big stories behind them, as they explained: "And as brilliant as stunts are - we’ve got to have the stories to back up those stunts. We can blow up anything but if there’s no story behind it - what’s the point?"
The Emmerdale producers added: "It’s really key to us that whatever happens in the 50th - the fallout is huge. This will continue and take us into 2023."
