Emmerdale viewers have been left begging Belle Dingle to secretly record estranged husband Tom King so that she can expose his ‘true’ colours to the ITV villagers
Emmerdale fans are urging Belle Dingle, portrayed by Eden Taylor-Draper, to secretly record her estranged husband Tom King, played by James Chase, to reveal his abusive behaviour to the unsuspecting villagers.
In Monday’s episode (September 2), Tom continued his torment of Belle with a new and chilling threat. Despite leaving Tom and attempting to escape his emotional and physical abuse, Belle is unaware that he has a key to her cottage, has planted cameras in her home, and installed malware on her laptop to track her online activity.
Belle was seen reading an email from the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, also known as Clare’s Law, stating there was “not a pressing need” for the police to disclose Tom’s history.
Tom appeared pleased while Belle was devastated that her attempts to stop his behaviour had once again failed, reports the Express.
Belle then visited the shop and was visibly upset as she spoke to Tracy Robinson, played by Amy Walsh, who had to leave to assist a customer just as Tom entered.
She was unsettled when Tom suggested he was trying to be a “good guy”, and Belle feared that the police may have informed him about her request.
Emmerdale’s Belle was left feeling unnerved after Tom dismissed her concerns, snapping back accusingly and labelling her paranoid. He chillingly brought up the “arty” photos from their honeymoon, hinting at their intimate nature and his leverage over her.
The tension soared as Belle encountered an oblivious Paddy and scurried home to check her laptop for the pictures, only to find herself locked out when the password had been changed, resulting in her frustration boiling over as she hurled the laptop to the ground.
Amidst the reluctance of Belle’s nearest and dearest to see Tom for what he truly is, Emmerdale viewers have been on the edge of their seats, imploring Belle to craft a cunning plan that will reveal her aggressive ex-partner’s ‘true’ colours to everyone.
Crowding around social media platform X, fans are expressing their views with one asserting: “Belle really has to get organised and record what Tom says to her #emmerdale.”
Another passionately demands a resolution to the tale: “Let’s hope the Belle/Tom storyline concludes soon. Why isn’t she gathering evidence against him #Emmerdale.” And a third supports vigilante justice, suggesting: “Belle needs to start recording this piece of **** #emmerdale.”
