Emmerdale: Meena sentenced to life in prison

Emmerdale bosses are said to have cast Peaky Blinders actor Jack Parr – and he’ll be involved in a big new storyline for the film.

Jack – who played Dougie Bill in the final series of the BBC1 series – will debut on the soap next week.

He will come to the village as the character Jordan – who is drawn into the lives of several villagers.

A TV source said Sun : “Jordan will come to the village in a shocking way and end up equating neighbors with neighbors.

“It will be a dramatic plot and address a serious matter.”

Elsewhere in the soap country, Emmerdale fans were quite divided over Meena Jutla’s exit scenes, when her sentence was announced Monday night.

Viewers were “disgusted” by an unusual editing change to the episode, while others said it made the footage even better.

Emmerdale doesn’t usually introduce music at the beginning of scenes, but the film includes a classical piece that plays along with Meena’s exit.

Meena sobs and screams as she realizes her fate, and is dragged to the cell where she will spend the rest of her life.

The judge sentenced her to at least 75 years in total, and she was told she would never be allowed out.

Her final scenes show the villain crying as she is finally punished for three of the murders she committed, and justice won for Ben Tucker, Leanna Cavanagh and Andrea Tate .

But fans quickly realized the music was playing through Meena’s screams and as Manpreet left the field, and not everyone was a fan.

Some called it “nasty” and asked why it was included, as others thought it was a great addition.

On Twitter, one fan wrote: “That ending could have been perfect, if it weren’t for the silly music.”

Another agreed: “What’s with all the music it’s so annoying”, as a third said: “Music. Cry :(.”

A fourth viewer wrote: “What the hell is this soundtrack?”

However, others liked the change, with one fan tweeting: “Music is making this happen!”

The second added: “LOVE the music”, the third commented: “wow the ending of that episode was done brilliantly, the music, the slow beat. Absolutely amazing.”
