Next on the horizon, Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has hinted at an intriguing development in the ongoing abuse storyline of Tom King and Belle Dingle. Last week, after Tom suffered an electric shock in a barn, Charity decided to check in on him at Dale Head.
During their conversation, it became clear that Tom didn't want the focus to be on him. Instead, he opened up to Charity about Belle's recent miscarriage and suggested that she was feeling ashamed of her body's inability to carry their baby. This revelation left Charity with a nagging suspicion that Tom might be hiding something.
Back at the pub, Charity shared her concerns with her son Noah, musing that someone as seemingly perfect as Tom must have an ulterior motive. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Charity attempted to stage an intervention by enlisting the help of some Dingle women and luring Belle to the pub. Unfortunately, Belle's walls were still up and she refused to open up about Tom.
Charity couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss between Belle and Tom. She sensed that Tom had devised another plan to isolate Belle from her family, and she was determined to uncover the truth. As Charity prepares to play a pivotal role in the next phase of this storyline, actress Emma Atkins sat down with This Morning's Sharon Marshall to discuss what's in store.
Emma acknowledged that her character has a history of abuse, which makes her current situation all the more dangerous. As she digs deeper into Tom's behavior, she knows that she's playing a risky game with potentially devastating consequences. After all, Tom is a master manipulator and no one seems to have caught onto his true intentions.
The storyline may be difficult to watch, but Emma believes it's important to have these discussions and raise awareness about abuse, not just for women but for men as well. She teased that the audience will be shouting at their TVs when Charity finally has her moment with Belle.
But the story is far from over. In tonight's episode of the ITV soap (which is already available to view on ITVX), Tom takes part in a zoom call for a job interview. The interviewer mentions that the position would require moving to a remote part of Wales, which doesn't seem to faze Tom. In fact, it's the perfect opportunity for him to trap Belle in a secluded location.
As Belle returns from a walk, Tom brings up the idea of going on holiday. But instead of suggesting a sunny vacation, he proposes spending time in the Welsh countryside. He even shows Belle a picture of the house they could stay in, promising that they can go once he's feeling better. Belle is thrilled at the thought.
Unbeknownst to her, Tom is secretly smirking as she walks into the kitchen. He tells her that, according to other visitors, once they arrive at the house, they'll never want to leave. It's clear that Tom has sinister plans for Belle, and she may not realize the danger until it's too late.
