Fans of the show think Tom might be in trouble

Emmerdale fans have predicted a twist in Tom’s tale after he convinced his solicitor to hit him over the back of the head for sympathy.

In the latest episode of Emmerdale, Tom was rapidly losing sympathy from Jimmy after Nicole had moved out to get away from Tom. As a result, Jimmy asked that Tom leave him alone.

However, soon afterwards Laurel came across Tom on a path near the church, bloodied and battered. She took him home and he revealed he had been attacked, but he did not know who by.

Jimmy was quick to blame Sam, and confronted him, almost coming to blows with him before Nicola broke the argument up.

However, at the end it was revealed that Tom had made his solicitor attack him, and Tom seemed to have something over him. Now, fans predict this will not end well for Tom.

@1stLadyHooligan said: “WoW Tom’s lawyer was in cahoots with him with damaging his car & whacking Tom on the head… Tom’s got his lawyer right where he wants him but maybe he’ll crack & tell the cops.”

@Darryl__Jason added: “Knew it was the solicitor . Said it right from the start. Knew Tom would involve him”. @Wee_Westie29 asked: “What does Tom have over this dodgy lawyer?”

Others were simply angered at how far Tom was going, with @roscoeleebarnes saying: “Tom is deranged”. @w00shie went on to say: “Tom is a vile piece of sh*t!”

@its0l_ wrote: “I’m sure it was quite easy for Tom to persuade somebody to attack him”. @lellibee said: “Of course Tom arranged his own attack”.

Another fan, @MeeshyJay, simply said: “Tom is disgusting. Can’t wait to see the back of the w***er”.
