Fans of Emmerdale have predicted that Tom King’s downfall is at hand – and an ‘unexpected’ saviour could be responsible.
Last night’s episode (Monday, October 7) of the soap saw Tom destroy all evidence of his wrongdoing against Belle, stealing back his missing tablet and then smashing it up to hide the incriminating footage within.
Tom destroys the evidence
This followed the events of last week, in which Moira stumbled across Tom’s videos – then promptly forgot she’d seen them in the first place, suffered a seizure, and lost the tablet.
Having gotten the tablet back, Tom then destroyed it, whacking it to bits with a rock. Job done, eh?
Little did Tom know, but cousin Carl Jr had seen it all… witnessing Tom’s curious act of aggression through the window.
But what happens next?
Emmerdale fans predict Carl will bring Tom down
Writing on social media as the episode aired, fans shared their theories – and many wondered whether little Carl Jr might be Tom’s undoing.
“The evil Tom lurking around and plotting, not knowing Carl knows what he’s done, the downfall of Tom begins!” wrote one gleeful viewer.
“The way little Carl King is going to turn out to be the unexpected hero of this abuse storyline,” said another.
“Grass on him Carl,” wrote a third.
“I hope Carl Jnr spills everything!!!!!,” prayed a fourth.
Smug Tom rubs it in
Earlier in the episode, Tom had continued to menace Belle, taunting her as she walked through the village. While Belle assured him that he was ‘going down’ for what he had done, smug Tom remained… well, perfectly smug.
Will Carl be the end of Tom’s reign of terror?
