She wants to drag out the torment and punish them for the hurt she believes they caused her by their actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking Billy choose is just awful; one of them having to watch the other die is the worst thing,\u201d the Emmerdale star continued. \u201cFor Meena, it heightens the fun and pleasure she derives from watching people go through intense emotions. It\u2019s exhilarating. Manipulating, hurting and killing is thrilling for her, she\u2019s got a real taste for it now and at this point is incapable of stopping.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"
