Emmerdale's newlyweds return in the wake of their horror-show wedding in Friday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Billy and Dawn Fletcher always knew there was a risk Meena Jutla would show up on their big day.

Just days before their wedding they feared she'd broken into Woodbine and savaged Dawn's bridal gown. 

Seeing as she was on the run in the wake of a string of murder allegations, they hoped they were just being paranoid.

But the pair soon learned, to their horror, that Billy's scorned unhinged ex had come back, unable to resist the chance to return and wreak havoc.

After a tender ceremony in church, gun-toting Meena pounced on Dawn and Billy.

Hijacking the pair, who were headed to Home Farm for the reception, Meena posed as their chauffeur, took them hostage, threatened to kill them and shot Leyla!

It was furious Liam who managed to stop Meena, who was shoved off the top of the same bridge where the nurse killed his daughter Leanna.

With Meena's plea hearing taking place next week will the murderer admit her guilt or is the couple going to have to dredge up all that happened in court at trial?

Elsewhere, Jai struggles with his ego, and there's frustration for Rhona.
