Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster, because things are about to get real on Emmerdale this Christmas. Belle Dingle is in for a heartwarming reunion with a dear friend she never thought she'd see again. But before we get to that, let's take a step back and revisit what happened in August.
Belle's husband, the abusive Tom King, did something truly despicable. He played a cruel trick on Belle, pretending that her beloved dog Piper had been in a terrible accident and passed away. This not only devastated Belle, but also deeply affected the viewers who had grown to love Piper. Tom even went as far as giving the dog away to strangers, lying to them about Belle's supposed neglect.
Back in the village, Tom told Belle that he had to put Piper to sleep due to her severe injuries. But Belle, knowing the truth, was unable to convince anyone else of Tom's guilt. However, in the upcoming episodes, something shifts for Belle.
As Eden Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle, explained, Belle starts to question what really happened to Piper. She never actually saw the dog's body and Tom has a history of lying. So, she decides to take matters into her own hands and dig up Piper's grave with the help of her friend Vinny.
And can you believe what they find? The coffin is not empty, but instead, there's just one brick inside. How grim! But this discovery only fuels Belle's determination to find her dog and uncover the truth.
After some difficulty, Vinny and Gabby are able to track down Piper's new owners and explain the situation. Luckily, the new owners agree to return Piper to Belle. And that's when the real magic happens.
Belle is by her father's grave when she suddenly sees Piper running towards her with a bow on her head. It's a Christmas miracle! Eden described filming this scene as a real treat, especially since it's the holiday season. For Belle, this reunion is everything.
But as Belle begins to heal from the trauma of Tom's abuse, Piper will play an important role in her journey. Eden shared that the writers and producers are dedicated to exploring the aftermath and the healing process, rather than just ending the story once Piper is back. And it's clear that Piper is not only loved by Belle, but also by the viewers.
