Emmerdale villain Tom King’s true colours will be exposed in upcoming scenes next week as he comes face-to-face with Isaac Dingle, and fans are worried he will hurt the youngster

Emmerdale teasers for next week have sparked fears amongst viewers that evil Tom King might be plotting something sinister against young Isaac Dingle. Spoilers hint at a chilling plan unfolding after Tom makes a menacing comment. The village’s villain is on the warpath to retrieve his iPad from the innocent seven year old, thanks to Tom’s cousin Carl Holliday’s little blunder. Oblivious Carl and his mate Isaac were innocently gaming on Tom’s tablet, not realising it is hot property with the police on the lookout for it.

With footage of his secret recordings of wife Belle Dingle stored on the device, Tom is desperate to reclaim it to hide the crucial evidence of his wicked deeds. The footage is critical for Belle as she believes it is concrete proof of Tom’s abusive behaviour in their marriage, especially after she attacked him last week in retaliation. Tom’s fury raged as he intimidated Carl into silence, insinuating that he could face jail time for snatching the iPad. Once Carl squeals that Isaac has it, Tom darkly resolves to recover it. When an anxious Carl questions his method, Tom gazes at the unsuspecting Isaac and ominously says: “I’m sure I will think of something… don’t say anything. I will deal with Isaac when I decide,” reports the Mirror.

Now Emmerdale enthusiasts are whispering about a possible murder twist as they contemplate what dastardly act Tom will commit when he finally has his confrontation with little Isaac. The drama intensifies next week as Tom keeps a close watch on Isaac, planning to catch him when he’s away from Moira Dingle’s protective gaze. Belle’s nephew Isaac is forced to tell Tom where the iPad is when he ask for it back, with him confirming it’s at his home. Isaac even tells Tom about the spare key, telling him he can go there himself to get it. Soon enough Tom sneaks off to Butlers Farm to find it, but risks getting caught out by Moira’s son Matty Barton.

Fans speculate that if any harm comes to Isaac, Cain Dingle or Moira will seek vengeance. According to one avid viewer: “Cain will kill Tom if Moira doesn’t kill him first if he hurts Isaac. You’re playing really dirty.” Another added their own warning shot: “Dare you Tom to do something to Isaac. A Glasgow Kiss from Moira, you’re not dealing with Belle now you lowlife.” A third cautioned: “Tom don’t you even dare hurt Isaac or else Cain will murder you.”
