Fans watched as Tom followed Belle down a street and confronted her

Emmerdale fans have figured out a ‘plot hole’ in the latest development with Tom King and Belle Dingle.

The storyline between the pair has been going on for months, cataloguing the abuse Belle has been subjected to by Tom. In tonight’s episode, fans watched as Tom followed Belle down a street and confronted her.

Later on in the episode, Tom lets himself in to Belle’s unlocked home and takes one of her jumpers. He then gives it to his new partner Amelia.

But a number of viewers were displeased by this latest development. They took to X to vent their frustrations.

@CariadGomez said: “So, he said he was going to “stay away from her because she’s a psychopath” and yet he’s just followed her down the street? In broad daylight? With no one around? Who writes this s****? Seriously?!”

@Chris1968E said: “Emmerdale yeah, don’t record him Belle or failing that walk the f*** away or scream help.” @CreativeM98 said: “How are we back to him tormenting her, especially in public? I’m glad this is ending soon.”

@creda_1 said: “How come when Tom is chatting to Belle in Emmerdale village, that no one sees them….it’s getting right pathetic now, Belle and Tom story has lost its reasoning…

@pam_debeauvoir said: “We get that men do not just bully, manipulate, coerce and control for a few weeks then move on. No, it goes on for months if not years. The writers have decided not to spare us, but I wish they did. Tom’s nasty streak is wearing thin….and so is our patience for justice.”

@Samanth22356123 said: “Why does Belle stop and listen to Tom’s s***… just carry on walking and head to the pub, cafe etc FFS!!!!”

@TonyCoffey15 said: “Again nobody can see invisible Tom, he can walk up to Belle without anyone noticing.” @CaptMagenta said: “Belle is so worried about Tom that she leaves her door unlocked. Ridiculous storyline. No-one locks their doors.”

@SARamsay1 said: “Tom King is sick! I hate what he’s doing to Bell. He’s also a creep for letting himself into the house where she’s staying as well as clearly being a liar for saying he wouldn’t approach her. Amelia is so naive it’s actually sick too!”
