Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale star Fiona Wade has hinted we could see a different side to Priya Sharma if/when she finds out about Al Chapman's affair.
In recent weeks, viewers have seen Al exchange text messages and phone calls with a mystery woman, even though he's supposed to be in a committed relationship with Priya.
While Priya is currently oblivious about Al's affair, Wade has teased that we'll get to see her character's more explosive side when the identity of the mystery mistress is revealed.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media, Wade said of Priya: "She is definitely not a walkover, I think Priya is a strong woman. She is a single working mum who helps run a business.
What to Read Next
"She has been hurt before – so she is a woman who has been through it, so it's not new to her. She will be heartbroken but we shouldn't underestimate that she's a strong woman. She won't take anything lying down – so you might see a different side to her."
Asked if there could be a showdown between Priya and the mystery woman, she added: "You'll have to wait and see but I can't say too much.
"It's definitely going to be different and maybe a bit unexpected. Priya is a strong woman now, so whatever happens, it will be dramatic. I can't really say."
Emmerdale continues on Monday (December 21) at 7pm on ITV.
