However, one of the soap\u2019s producers, Kate Brooks, has recently revealed that this wasn\u2019t always going to be the case, and an alternative ending could have seen her get away with her crimes.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Metro.co.uk<\/a> and other press, Brooks said: \u201cYes, she has given us so much storyline recently that of course there is always that temptation to let her get away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite this, it seems that the team behind the soap decided for the sake of closure, Meena had to be sent down.<\/p>\n \u201cA person who is capable of such heinous crimes and has no remorse can\u2019t stay long in the village,\u201d Brooks continued. \u201cThey can\u2019t continue on that path because there is nowhere else for her to go.<\/p>\n \u201cWe knew that we needed to draw a line under it, not just for the viewers but for our characters who are left, they need justice and need for Meena to be punished for her crimes.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they don\u2019t get the closure then there is no way to move them on as characters, so we knew that we had to let Meena\u2019s fate rest in the hands of the soap Gods; and so I hope people will be very satisfied with what she gets.\u201d<\/p> After joining the soap in 2020 nurse Meena has committed multiple murders and kidnappings, going on a rampage of villainy.<\/p>\n With actress Paige Sandhu set to leave the soap this year, it seems Meena\u2019s time may finally be up.
