Violent attack in Emmerdale as Belle is sickened to see how far Tom will go
Emmerdale is to delve even deeper into Belle Dingle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) ordeal at the hands of abusive husband Tom King (James Chase) by airing a special, format twisting episode.
After making fresh discoveries over how he is still tormenting her, Belle will be faced with multiple potential realities of where her life could go.
With Tom already lining up another victim, Belle’s emotions are heightened – but could this experience she endures in a hazed state lead to a breakthrough?
Meanwhile, Moira’s (Natalie J Robb) life continues to implode as her volatile behaviour confuses even herself.
And when she wrongly jumps to a conclusion relating to Cain (Jeff Hordley), she lashes out and headbutts a shocked Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly).
Desperate to know what’s going on with his suffering wife, will Cain be able to help her as she falls apart?
