There was a worrying scene for Emmerdale’s Manpreet Sharma on Monday night, as her blackmail nightmare escalated.

ITV viewers know that after she posted some racy, empowering images online, and later added them to a subscription site, someone began targeting her. Trying to destroy her for no given reason, they threatened her via messages about her ‘secret’.

What started out as something that made Manpreet feel validated soon left her fearing for her life and her career, as she was blackmailed by a mystery person. On Monday night, she finally received a demand from the culprit and she was rattled.

They demanded money, and later this week we will see her go to confront the mystery person. But some viewers think they already know who it is, and believe that it isn’t one of the teased or previously predicted suspects.

Joe Tate, Tracy Robinson, Ella Forster and Billy Fletcher have all been accused by viewers after their actions sparked suspicions. But now fans think it’s not any of the four and that it could be one of two characters.

One character is someone who left the show months ago, and now fans think a comeback is on the way. The other suspect is someone currently in the village who raised eyebrows with enemy Mack Boyd.

Ross Barton has found himself a suspect from viewers who were questioning why he suddenly had cash to spend on a fancy motor. Ross claimed the vehicle was on lease, but Mack was not convinced – while viewers weren’t either.

As for the other name in the mix, fans are fearing Belle Dingle’s abusive husband Tom King could be back, or that someone in the village is helping him target Manpreet for a mystery reason. One fan said on social media of Ross: “He’s probably the one blackmailing Manpreet and knows he’s in for a payout.”

As for Tom, one fan said: “Has Tom definitely left? No viewers know more than I do, but what do you think? It looked like his sentencing in December would be his last scene, but he was then brought back to talk about the divorce (which seemed unnecessary).

“I can’t think of any reason, but could he be Manpreet’s blackmailer? It would be similar to what Lachlan did in prison, although I can’t quite remember why.” Another fan agreed: “You know emmerdale will bring him back because of the short sentence.”

A further comment read: “Tom could be the blackmailer, but I’m not sure who it is. There are several possibilities.” On him having an accomplice, one fan questioned: “He wouldn’t be able to watch her or spy on her unless he’s secretly been released or has eyes in the village.. maybe he manipulated Angelica after all?”
