Emmerdale serves up the week fans have waited all year for, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, as Tom King (James Chase) stands trial for his crimes.
The twisted villain, as viewers know, subjected wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) to heinous abuse throughout the course of their marriage.
But after receiving support from her loved ones, Belle bravely reported Tom to the police and, with evidence to support her allegations, Tom was arrested and charged.
After breaking his bail conditions, he was arrested again and denied bail, with the past two weeks having seen the abuser desperately trying to win over Angelica (Rebecca Bakes) from behind bars.
Next week, things take an unexpected turn, with Tom rushed to hospital after he attempts to take his own life. Belle spirals upon learning the news, fearing that his death would be on her hands.
Determined to support Belle, Charity (Emma Atkins)gains access to Tom’s hospital room and orders the sick abuser to tell everyone that he staged the attempt on his own life to turn the trial on its head.
Tom, however, comes to realise that Belle must be spiralling, which leaves Charity concerned that she’s made the situation worse.
On the morning of the trial, it seems that Tom’s theory is coming to pass as Belle vanishes. As he heads to court, he prepares to deliver his best performance as he takes centre stage.
But will Belle turn up? And will justice finally be served?
It’s going to be quite a week – one that fans have waited a long time for – and it’s certainly not to be missed!
