EMMERDALE heartthrob Billy Fletcher is a completely different character to the one who turned up on the ITV soap in 2018 but a new theory by Express.co.uk suggests his time could be coming to an end.
The Emmerdale villain Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) attempted to assassinate Billy (played by Jay Kontzle) on his wedding day to Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley), and Billy was also the subject of a racially motivated attack during the course of the preceding year. He and his wife have been attempting to foster newbie Clemmie (Mabel Addison) in recent episodes on the ITV soap opera but have been unsuccessful since they want to grow their family. However, with the show’s 50th anniversary just a few months away, rumors about the heartthrob leaving the hamlet in a bodybag could begin to circulate.
Bosses are currently staying quiet about what the village may expect this fall as they mark half a decade on screen.
However, some of the show’s stars have been dropping teasers in an effort to make viewers excited about what’s to come.
One of these stars Billy’s actor Jay because it appears that the explosive anniversary tales may revolve around him.
However, he appeared to be referring to his time on the weeknight serial drama in the past tense as he talked about the future of his character.The performer clarified: “It is going to be amazing. I can only promise a rollercoaster ride. I enjoy working there and have enjoyed taking part in events like Super Soap Week.”
The plots are usually so diverse, and I’ve had some amazing ones, Jay continued before mentioning how there might be at least one death imminent.
“My character appears to be around death a lot, which is a bit morbid, but I enjoy those high-stakes sequences,” the actor continued.
People may not be aware of the fact that we film nine to eleven sequences per day, which can be taxing, but we manage to pull it off as a team, he told OK! Magazine.
His good fortune might run out in the 50th-anniversary special, which will air in the middle of October, after a couple recent close calls with death.Meena might be able to defeat him because it has been suggested she might appear in the milestone episodes of the show.
When Billy broke up with her and rekindled his relationship with Dawn at the end of last year, Meena was immensely envious and tried to entice him back by pretending to be pregnant.
A few weeks later, as her falsehoods began to fall apart and her true colors were exposed, Billy cut all ties with her.
He made the decision to propose to Dawn after the villain was purportedly removed from his life. On Valentine’s Day, they were married.
However, his ex-girlfriend visited the area that very day and held him and his wife at gunpoint on a viaduct.
Although neither of them were hurt, the ordeal she subjected them through has traumatized them.
