Blackmail Shocker! Tom King Turns Ruthless with Paddy Dingle in Emmerdale Nightmare!
Abuser Tom again resorts to underhanded tactics to get what he wants
PADDY Dingle is set for blackmail horror courtesy of villain Tom King in upcoming Emmerdale scenes.
Played by Dominic Brunt, beloved vet Paddy has been a staple of the ITV soap since 1997.
However, spoilers for scenes yet to air suggest a trying time for the fan favourite.
Tom King (James Chase) threatens to air Paddy’s dirty laundry in an underhanded bid to get his job back.
Although feeling compromised by the situation, will Paddy give in to the demand?
Scenes aired in September saw Tom suspended from his position at the vets’ surgery.
His wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) had courageously come forward about Tom’s abusive behaviour.
With Paddy being part of the extended Dingle family, it’s clear where his loyalties lie.
Throughout this year, viewers have been horrified by scenes of Tom physically and mentally abusing his now-former wife.
He is now slowly being revealed as an abuser and liar who beat and manipulated Belle.
In Tuesday’s (November 5) episode, Tom discovered his plot to gain sympathy by staging attacks on himself had failed.
The instead village came together to burn an effigy of him for Bonfire Night.
His new love interest Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) warned: “Don’t rise to them Tom, because that’s exactly what they want.”
However, Tom was absolutely incensed, as he raged: “Is it not enough that I got a brick through my window, attacked and now this?
“Can you believe the absolute gall of that bunch of inbreds?
“I can’t believe they would pull a sick stunt like this.”
He thundered over to the Dingles, demanding to know who was responsible.
As various members claimed responsibility, Aaron (Danny Miller) prepared to fight Tom.
However, he quipped: “Oh yeah, I forgot, you only attack women, don’t you?”
Will Tom finally be brought to justice?
Emmerdale continues on ITV and ITVX.
