2022 has already gotten off to a dramatic start for a number of Emmerdale residents, with serial killer Meena (Paige Sandhu) taking her sister Manpreet and Vinny Dingle prisoner before being caught by Liam Cavanagh on Thursday and fleeing to Scotland.
The soap's bosses have teased that Meena will get her comeuppance, however, with executive producer Jane Hudson telling RadioTimes.com and other press: "Judgement Day for Meena is coming."
As for Emmerdale's 50th anniversary, there is further heartbreak in store for its characters, with Hudson revealing: "Our 2022 is very much going to be building our stories for the 50th golden month of celebrations.
"There is going to be mind-blowing stunts, more heartbreaks, secrets and lies – it’s going to be the gift that keeps on giving and the party no one wants to end."
