Emmerdale’s Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) has found herself at the center of a sinister mystery,
and fans believe they have uncovered the shocking truth behind her anonymous tormentor.
After a series of disturbing messages, speculation is rife that her estranged and dangerous sister, Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu), could be behind it all.
Manpreet’s Blackmail Nightmare
In recent episodes, Manpreet has been acting strangely, constantly glued to her phone and looking visibly distressed.
Her unusual behavior didn’t go unnoticed by her colleague Ella (Paula Lane), who pressed her for answers.
Eventually, Manpreet cracked under the pressure and made a stunning confession—she was being blackmailed.
Ella was left stunned and demanded to know why anyone would target Manpreet in such a way. Initially hesitant, the doctor eventually admitted the reason behind her distress: “I have been posting photos of myself online.”
As Ella processed the shocking revelation, Manpreet further explained her fears, terrified that the images could be leaked. “Imagine it, Ella,” she lamented. “If it gets out? Online, in the local newspaper—all about the dodgy doc who gets her kit off. I can kiss any hero status goodbye.”
Following Ella’s advice, Manpreet deleted her online profile in an attempt to put an end to the harassment. But just when she thought she had taken control of the situation, another chilling message arrived. The unknown sender had saved her images and wasn’t backing down. The threat was clear: “One word to the police and everyone will know your secret. I’ll be in touch.”
As the episode came to a tense close, a terrified Manpreet whispered to herself, “Who is doing this to me?”
Fan Theories: Who is the Stalker?
Following the dramatic scenes, Emmerdale fans have taken to social media to speculate about who could be behind the blackmail plot. Theories are circulating, with many viewers convinced that this mystery has ties to Manpreet’s past.
One of the most popular predictions is that Meena Jutla, Manpreet’s psychotic sister, could be making a shocking return. Meena, who wreaked havoc across the village with her manipulative and murderous ways, was last seen behind bars. But could she have found a way to strike again?
One fan shared their suspicions online: “I heard Meena was coming back. This would be the perfect way for her to get revenge on Manpreet.”
Another agreed, commenting: “This has Meena written all over it. She’s always been obsessed with ruining Manpreet’s life.”
Could It Be Someone Else?
While many believe Meena is the most likely culprit, other theories have also gained traction. Some fans have speculated that Joe Tate (Ned Porteous)—who was presumed dead—could be behind the messages. His past dealings with the Dingle family and unresolved business in the village make him a potential suspect.
“Joe,” one fan simply wrote in a discussion thread, while another added, “If he’s alive and looking for revenge, this would be a great way to make his return.”
Another popular suspect is Ella. Having inserted herself into Manpreet’s personal life, some viewers think she could be playing a much darker game. “Ella, it makes sense,” one fan suggested.
Others have pointed the finger at Brenda Walker, with one viewer theorizing: “I reckon Ella or Brenda, leading up to their exits.”
A Desperate Tracy Metcalfe?
Yet another intriguing theory involves Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh), who was recently seen glancing at Manpreet’s phone in the shop. Could she have seen something incriminating and decided to use it to her advantage?
One fan pointed out, “Tracy saw her phone. Maybe she’s desperate for cash and saw an opportunity.”
What Happens Next?
With the threats escalating and no clear answer as to who is behind them, Manpreet is running out of time. If the blackmailer follows through on their threat, her secret could be exposed, leaving her career and reputation in tatters.
Will Manpreet confide in someone else and seek help? Could Meena really be orchestrating this torment from behind bars, or is there another unexpected villain at play?
One thing is certain—Emmerdale fans are in for a dramatic twist as this gripping storyline unfolds.
