Emmerdale’s Tom King comes up with new plan to control Belle after she exits village

Tom King of Emmerdale has been assaulting his wife Belle Dingle for months, and things are about to become much worse.

In forthcoming scenes from Emmerdale, Tom King devises a new, twisted scheme to take control of Belle Dingle. Since their February wedding, Tom (James Chase) has been abusing his wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) in a horrifying manner.

The veterinarian started acting in an oppressive manner towards Belle, ruining her career and attempting to force her into becoming a mother. After Tom’s abuse of Belle got out of hand, there was physical altercation at the dinner party.

Angry, Tom placed Belle’s hand under hot water after seeing she was still taking her contraceptive pill. After proving to Belle that he wasn’t intentionally hurting her, he was able to persuade her to begin trying for a child.

However, last week, when Tom heard Belle talking to Mandy (Lisa Dingle) and Lydia (Karen Blick) on their puppy cam, their relationship took a much darker turn.

Joking about Tom’s profession as a veterinarian, Mandy advised Belle to understand that he would be changing a baby’s diaper rather than scolding a piglet. When a furious Tom got home, he managed to make everyone smile by spending time with Mandy and Lydia.

Tom’s attitude altered after they departed, and he punched Belle in the stomach when she confided in him and told him he needed assistance. Tom asked Belle for another opportunity and consented to meet with Liam (Johnny McPherson) after Belle told him that their marriage was finished.

Belle was unaware that Tom had informed Liam that it is her conduct that is problematic. Subsequently, on the anniversary of Lisa’s (Jane Cox) passing, Tom keeps Belle at home to wait for his package, preventing her from going to a memorial picnic in remembrance of her mother.

Tom becomes enraged and remarks harshly about Lisa after discovering that Belle did not wait for his package. Belle becomes enraged and eventually loses her cool, pushing him aside in front of the other appalled townspeople.

Will the townspeople now accept Belle as the troublemaker? According to soap opera spoilers, Belle has left the town and may have gone back to Redhill Mental Health Facility.

When Lydia tells Tom that Belle had requested a visit from her rather than from him, Tom is unnerved by the potential consequences. Angry, he devises a fresh scheme to exert even more influence on the circumstances.
