Emmerdale abuser Tom King plots sinister kidnap for wife Belle Dingle – as her family discover the truth
As family members cotton on that something is not right with Belle, Tom makes plans of his own
TOM King has a conniving scheme to keep his abused wife Belle away from the rest of the Dingle family in his latest twisted attempt to keep her under his control.
Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) recently held an intervention for Belle after starting to suspect her husband of foul play.
Charity had been abused herself by crooked cop Mark Bales as a teenager, and began to pick up on the telltale signs.
Despite being put under the microscope, it seems Tom (James Chase) has only become more emboldened.
He is applying for a job in rural Wales, far away from the rest of the family in Emmerdale, where he keep Belle all for himself.
Charity had organised a girls’ night with Chas, Mandy and Lydia to get to the bottom of why Belle was becoming so withdrawn from everybody.
But this backfired when she became overwhelmed with the questioning.
After nearly confiding in Charity, Belle pulled away when she noticed Tom approaching, still pressured by his psychological abuse.
Tom fired a sharp warning at Charity to stay away from his wife, leading to more suspicion in the Dingle clan.
With Charity aware that something is not right with her relative, there is still hope that Tom might be stopped before he inflicts any more abuse on his spouse.
Only Belle’s mental health care coordinator has been told the dark truth so far.
With Charity’s intervention failing to work, Belle is in danger of being spirited away to the Welsh countryside, where it will be even harder for her to escape Tom’s grasp.
Will Charity act on her intuition? And if so, will she be able to before Tom moves the couple away from the Dales?
