Is Emmerdale's James Chase, played by Tom King, exiting the show and when will the abuse storyline conclude?

Tom King continues to target Belle in a disturbing turn of events on this week's episode of Emmerdale. As viewers have seen, Tom has been subjecting Belle to emotional and physical abuse ever since they got married. He has been controlling and manipulating her, causing her immense pain and suffering. Despite her attempts to escape, Tom has done everything in his power to discredit Belle and make her family doubt her claims.

But Belle's loved ones know the truth and stand by her, despite Tom's attempts to paint her as mentally unstable. Belle has even reached out to Amelia Spencer, who has been led to believe that Belle is lying about Tom's abusive behavior. In a desperate attempt to make Amelia see the truth, Belle arranges to meet with her. However, things take a shocking turn when Tom shows up at Wishing Well and takes Belle hostage.

Fans are eager to know when this terrifying ordeal will come to an end. The producers have revealed that the storyline will continue until Christmas, as they want to portray the reality of domestic abuse and its long-lasting effects. Producer Laura Shaw explained, "For people who are subjected to domestic abuse, this isn't something that's over in a couple of weeks. It's something that goes on for a long time, and we wanted to be truthful to that."

Despite the twists and turns that have emerged, the producers have always had a clear idea of how they want the storyline to end. And it seems that the end is near for Tom King, who will be leaving the show soon. Actor James, who plays Tom, has loved portraying such a powerful storyline but feels that it's the right time for his character to exit. A source revealed, "There's no long-term redemption for Tom coming - he has to leave one way or the other. And either way, it will be dramatic."

As the Tom King saga reaches its climax, viewers can expect some intense and emotional scenes. The show airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
