The star wowed fans as Belle imagined her future
Fans of Emmerdale have heaped praise upon star Eden Taylor-Draper for her performance in last night’s episode of the soap. This very special episode saw Belle Dingle finally open up about the abuse she has experienced at husband’s Tom’s hands.
As she agonised over what to do, Belle imagined a series of bleak outcomes to her future. In one possible eventuality, she imagined herself reconciling with Tom for Amelia’s sake – falling back into the same cycle of abuse.
Tormented Belle speaks out
In another, a furious Cain learned of what Tom had done, and beat her abusive ex-husband to a pulp. In other, darker, timelines, Belle imagined as Tom killed Amelia, who was carried from their home in a bodybag.
What did happen, however, was that she opened up to Charity. A shocked Charity listened as Belle told her everything she had suffered. To Belle’s relief, Charity believed every word, without hesitation.
Emmerdale fans praise ‘fantastic’ Eden-Taylor Draper
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And, across the board, viewers highlighted Eden’s performance as one for the ages.
“Eden Taylor_draper deserves an award for here portrayal off belle fantastic actress,” wrote one fan.

“Last night’s episode of Emmerdale was brilliant, so well done. Eden Taylor Draper is a wonderful actress,” agreed another.
Unfortunately, Belle’s torment is far from over. Charity may be on side, but Tom remains an ever-present threat for as long as he remains in Belle’s life…
