Tom King has seemingly set his sights on a new target as his budding romance with Amelia Spencer evolves – but viewers have slammed Emmerdale over ‘missing scenes’
Amelia and Tom have embarked on a new relationship, leaving viewers scratching their heads as they called out Emmerdale bosses over “missing scenes.”
The sinister vet portrayed by James Chase has relentlessly bullied and abused his wife Belle Dingle but things took an even nastier turn for the wedding planner when she called time on their marriage.
In an attempt to rattle his estranged wife even further, Tom has threatened and intimidated Belle before it was revealed he’d been growing closer to 18-year-old Amelia (Daisy Campbell).
During Tuesday’s episode of the ITV soap, viewers at home were confused when the pair discussed their relationship, confirming they’d been seeing each other for several weeks – though Tom was still chasing after Belle to fix their marriage in recent instalments of the Yorkshire-based drama.

Confused soap fans took to social media, notably X, otherwise known as Twitter, to share their thoughts over the budding romance but they were soon livid when they realised the relationship had begun without their knowledge.
One of them branded Belle’s coercive control storyline “one dimensional” as they furiously wrote: “The fact that even the Tom and Amelia’s “relationship” is happening off-screen just makes this storyline so one dimensional.” Another startled TV fan echoed: “Tom and Amelia at it for 2 weeks. Sorry what.”
A third wondered: “So Amelia and Tom Tit, have been seeing each other for a couple of months.. When did he split with Belle? There’s a really evil part of me that wants smug Amelia to suffer like Belle did.” While a final fan commented: “Just watched tonight’s #Emmerdale – Apparently Amelia & Tom have been together for a few weeks yet we’ve only seen them on screen together this week? Have we skipped scenes? She’s young enough to be his sister.”
Amelia has recently made it clear she was taking a stand for Tom after their romance was rumbled by Belle in The Woolpack on Tuesday. But this has led soap fans to fear the worst for her as many speculated she could suffer as much as the wedding planner played by Eden Taylor-Draper.
Multiple TV fans theorised that Tom could “take advantage” of Amelia in future harrowing scenes. “Why do I get an awful feeling Tom will take advantage of Amelia in a drunken state?”, one penned on the social media platform. Another feared: “Oh no is Tom after Amelia now.” A third chipped in: “And here begins the Amelia & Tom ick!!” A fourth was then concerned for baby Esther’s well-being: “I can’t bear the thought of him being with Amelia though and anywhere near that baby.” Are Amelia and Esther in danger?
