The upcoming trial was weighing heavily on everyone's minds in Emmerdale. There was a certain tension in the air as the community braced themselves for the outcome. However, the latest episode had some juicy spoilers that had not yet aired on ITV, but were available to view on ITVX.
Tom King, the infamous character, was feeling pretty confident about his chances in court. He even boasted to his solicitor Ollie that Belle Dingle, who he had manipulated in the past, wouldn't testify against him. He was convinced that he would walk away as a free man.
His manipulative tactics were at play once again as he faked a suicide attempt in prison. Being a vet, he knew exactly how to make it look realistic without actually putting himself in harm's way. Belle, on the other hand, was terrified at the thought of Tom's supposed suicide attempt. She felt guilty and responsible for putting him under so much pressure.
But this was all part of Tom's plan. He had successfully pulled off a similar act before, when they were staying in a cottage in Wales. Belle's family tried to support her and urged her to testify against Tom, but she was hesitant. She sought out Paddy Kirk, who had faced his own mental health struggles and could empathize with Tom's situation.
Paddy offered some words of wisdom to Belle, reminding her that Tom's actions were his own responsibility and not hers. However, Belle's worries only grew when her solicitor informed her that the judge had allowed her mental health history, including the fact that she had killed her friend Gemma in 2014, to be brought up in court.
The tragic incident had occurred during a physical fight over a shared love interest. Belle had pushed Gemma, causing her to hit her head on a rock and die the next day. She had turned herself in and served a year in a youth facility for manslaughter. This traumatic event had triggered Belle's schizophrenia, which Tom's barrister could use against her in court.
The thought of facing Tom's legal team and reliving her past was overwhelming for Belle. She confided in Charity Dingle, who had just come from the hospital where she saw for herself that Tom was not suicidal at all. Charity tried to convince Belle that Tom was just manipulating her once again.
But Belle was at her breaking point. She didn't know what was real anymore and the pressure was taking its toll on her. As the trial drew closer, the question remained - would Belle find the strength to testify against Tom? Only time would tell.
