Emmerdale fans are convinced a character is about to return from the dead.
Friday's edition of the long-running soap continued to explore the lead-up to Meena Jutla's trial. The evil nurse shocked viewers when she pleaded guilty to all charges of attempted murder and kidnapping in an episode broadcast last month.
However, Meena killed Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker - and she pleaded not guilty to all three murder charges. Liam Cavanagh was thinking about the resident villain in the Woolpack pub when he was joined by his wife Leyla.

Leyla tried to offer support to Liam before she received a mysterious phone call. The character, played by Roxy Shahidi, did not reveal the identity of the caller but arranged to meet up.
Viewers were speculating who was on the other end of the phone - and claimed it could be Andrea, who hasn't been seen since she was supposedly killed by Meena during last year's dramatic Super Soap Week.
Charles Anderson was embroiled in a relationship with Andrea before her death, but he referenced the character in tonight's show in a conversation with Manpreet. This has prompted viewers to speculate the character, played by Anna Nightingale, will soon return to the programme.
Melanie said: "I wonder... is Leyla taking phone calls from Andrea? We never saw her body and Charles even conveniently remembered she existed today..."
Alf added: Andrea is still alive that's who Leyla is talking to lol"
Polly posted: "Is Andrea still alive"
Estella responded: "I was wondering the same thing. Hoping for her to turn up in court at the last minute & seeing Meena’s gobsmacked face. Would be a brilliant twist"
Ryan commented : " Imagine if Andrea was alive and took the stand at the last minute."
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
