Emmerdale fans hope Belle will be saved after Tom’s abuse to be ‘forced into the open’
Belle King has been undergoing major heartache in ITV's Emmerdale as Tom continues to execute his weird control over life, but who will finally save Belle from her misery?
AI has shared its take after Emmerdale fans questioned who will save Belle King from her controlling husband Tom.
Despite only tying the knot in February, Belle and Tom’s marriage has gone from bad to worst in a matter of weeks. As Tom continues to pull the strings, Belle is left in the dark as she’s unsure of what mood he’ll be in next.
But as the veterinary surgeon continues to cause havoc in Belle’s life by keeping tabs on her whereabouts and runining her career, fans are desperate to know who will rescue Belle from her miserable marriage. Sharing furher insight, AI has dished the dirt on what could potentially happen next on the ITV soap.
It said: “Emmerdale hasn’t revealed exactly who will save Belle, but the storyline is focusing on her realising the situation and finding the strength to leave. Here are some potential possibilities…
“Belle herself- This is a common theme in stories about abusive relationships. Belle may gradually recognize the abuse and muster the courage to escape Tom.
“A friend or family member- People like Suzy Merton or perhaps her Dingle family members might notice signs of abuse and intervene. Or An outside force- the show might introduce a new character who helps Belle or a situation that forces Tom’s abuse into the open.
“Emmerdale is aiming to portray a realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship, so a single heroic rescuer might not be the approach. It will likely be a combination of Belle’s own will and the support of others.”
On Wednesday night’s episode, the couple’s relationship hit another stumbling block when Belle questioned Tom on why he didn’t show up for dinner. Belle had arranged to have a family sit-down meal with Tom’s uncle Jimmy and his wife Nicola.
But only Jimmy showed up, leaving Belle concerned. When Tom eventually arrived, he told Belle that he was out enjoying celebratory drinks with his colleagues.
Belle’s gently probing quickly led to frustration for Tom and he ended up walking off in a huff. Looking at him leave, Belle was left wondering where she went wrong.
In upcoming scenes, Belle will be faced with more turmoil. When Tom realises that Belle has lied to him about where she is, he ends up seeing red and trashes their home.
