After a harrowing trip to Wales, Belle Dingle is back in Emmerdale and facing a lot of difficult emotions. Initially, she was looking forward to a peaceful getaway with Tom King, but little did she know, he had darker plans in mind. Tom had secretly applied for a vet job in Wales and hoped to never return, taking Belle with him. But things took a turn for the worse as Tom's true nature was revealed. He began gaslighting Belle, keeping her locked in the cottage and even resorting to physical violence. Thankfully, Belle was able to escape and make her way back home.
But the trauma of the trip and the realization that she was a victim of abuse will take time for Belle to process. In a new video, she can be seen searching online for answers, typing in the question "was I being abused?" She clicks on a website that explains the aftermath of leaving an abusive relationship and the support available for victims. However, Belle is left feeling fearful when she learns that this can also be a dangerous time for victims as they try to distance themselves from their abuser. The question remains, how will Tom react if he finds out what Belle has been researching?
As this dark and villainous storyline unfolds, it is known that it will eventually lead to Tom's exit from the show. According to reports, actor James will be leaving the ITV soap in a dramatic fashion later this year. Sources say that it is the right time for James to move on from the role of Tom, as the character has a limited shelf life. There is no redemption for someone like Tom, and his exit will surely be a dramatic one.
