Belle Dingle was in for a shock in the upcoming episodes of Emmerdale. She couldn't believe it when she found out she was pregnant. This was something she had always dreaded, especially since she had previously told her husband Tom King that she wasn't ready for a baby. Tom, on the other hand, was eager to start a family. Belle tried to secretly continue taking contraception, but Tom found her pills and a heated argument ensued, which led to Tom physically assaulting her.
Unfortunately, Tom's coercive control over Belle didn't stop there. He went to extreme lengths, even resorting to drugging their dog, to force Belle to come back from a mental health assessment unit. She had gone there to deal with the crisis caused by Tom's mistreatment of her. So when Belle discovered she was pregnant, it was not welcome news, as actress Eden Taylor-Draper revealed.
"She feels apprehensive as it's not what she wants at the moment, but also worried because she knows it's the only thing Tom wants. She doesn't want him to know because she knows he will be so excited."
While Belle was still trying to figure out what to do, she received some leaflets from Wendy, who had been helping her. Belle tried to hide the news from Tom, but a moment of fear forced her to reveal the truth. As Eden explained, "He's embarrassed because Cain had a go at him for selling Belle's car, and Mandy had her opinions too. So he's getting really angry with Belle for supposedly bad mouthing him to her family for what he's done. His temper rises and it looks like he's about to hit her when Belle blurts out that she is pregnant. She only tells him to stop him from hitting her. She didn't mean to tell him."
Feeling overwhelmed, Belle heads to an appointment at the surgery, while Tom prepares to attack her again. But to Belle's surprise, Tom's anger turns into tears of joy as he promises to be a better husband. For a moment, Belle starts to believe that maybe their relationship could change for the better. However, Tom couldn't resist sharing the news with Rhona, and Belle's heart drops when she sees the whole village congratulating her on her pregnancy.
"Belle knew he would do this," Eden sighed. "I think that's why she just wanted to have some time to put the brakes on a bit. She is taken aback when she walks into the cafe and Jimmy, Nicola, and Paddy are all congratulating her."
Despite the overwhelming attention, Belle wanted to keep the pregnancy quiet, but Tom couldn't keep it to himself. This brings hope for Belle, as nurse Wendy starts to suspect that something isn't right in the King marriage.
"Later, Tom books Belle another appointment," Eden revealed. "Wendy is surprised to see her again and starts to question what's going on. She tries to talk to Belle alone."
Will Belle be able to confide in Wendy and find a way out of this toxic relationship? Fans will have to wait and see.
