Why can't they just charge Meena with the murders? She confessed to Manpreet, Liam and Vinny. That's three people, two of which are highly qualified professionals. She KIDNAPPED Dawn and Billy, plus she shot Leyla so showed she's capable of murder. I know it's a soap but they're certainly dragging it out, probably whilst they try and come up with a storyline for the 50th (Meena's escape probably).

Also, where is Tommy? Can we add him to the list of victims?

Who's Tommy?
 
I don't understand what's going on? Have Dawn, Billy, harriet, Lucas, Leila not made statements? Why are they making out that the only thing that happened on that one day was that Meena fell over the bridge? Why is there only one police officer interviewing her? Anyone could see from her behaviour in the interview room that she is a lunatic!

God it is sooo baaad!!

Who’s Tommy?
I agree about them charging Meena. The officer said it’s your word and Manpreet’s against hers to Liam but surely that’s something? If three people have accused you of murder and have the same story then it would be worth a look into instead of just insinuating to Liam that she won’t be charged for those murders.
Plus she kidnapped Dawn and Billy and Lucas, attacked Harriet and Layla - why hasn’t that been mentioned?
I know I take the piss out of Emmerdale but the writing and production of this has been appalling. Layla was shot but the make up team didn’t do anything to show that she was distressed - they didn’t make her pale or sweaty or whatever was needed for the injury she received. She looked like she was just taking a nap on the road. Same with her being in hospital with a full face of make up.
Meena fell from a height, hit her head on a stone, had emergency surgery and was discharged from the ICU to police custody (which wouldn’t be the norm, she would have gone to a regular ward or had her own room) all within a day. No lasting head trauma or broken neck, back? Not forgetting that she managed to assault the limo driver, steal his car, assault Harriet, kidnap Lucas,apprehend Billy, kidnap Dawn, shoot Layla, get punched in the face by Dawn, go back to the village, be chased by Liam…ALL IN A DAY?! The meme is that you have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé but it should really be you have the same 24 hours as Meena - the girl gets tit done.
I’ve read she’s staying here until the 50th anniversary? I reckon she’ll break out of police custody and Liam or Manpreet will finally kill her or something daft.

Seriously, Meena did in one day;

-Attacked Harriet.
-Hid Lucas.
-Carjacked the limo.
-Got into Limo driver togs.
-Attacked Billy and got him in the boot.
-Kidnapped Dawn.
-Played her silly game.
-Shot Leyla.
-Got beaten up by Dawn.
-Got away.
-Ran through a allotment.
-Got pushed off a bridge and hit her head on a rock.
-Taken to hospital.
-Had surgery.
-Gave evidence.
-Got all clear from doctor to be discharged.
-Got arrested.

Dawn and Billy had a dance and cuddle completely untraumatized by the day's events.

I thought this was ridiculous. She would have had to split herself in two. Harriet brought Lucas to the toilet. As they left, Dawn has a 5 minute chat with her dad and then steps into Meena’s hummer! When she gets out, Meena tells her she’s got Lucas.

So in 5 mins she attacks Harriet.. who presumably recently had some refresher police training. Knocks her out. Brings Lucas to the cricket pavilion. Locks him in. Attacks a 6ft plus Billy and manages to tie him up and lift him into the boot of the hummer. It’s ridiculous.

Then she’s thrown over the bridge. Miraculously has no broken bones or facial injuries. Almost dies twice… once at the bridge, one in the hospital. Has surgery. Is in ICU. And then next day she’s sitting upright in the police interview room. No pain, no casts, no sign of recovering from surgery. Not so much as a plaster even!!!

It was a good storyline up to Ben’s death but it went seriously downhill since then. Soaps always have to drag out a storyline. Which is one thing. But not making it plausible kind of insults the viewer IMO.
