Fans of Emmerdale are giddy with excitement because they think they know exactly how Tom King is going to die. Tom’s (James Chase) brutal treatment of his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) has gotten worse over the past few weeks. The popular ITV soap opera featured Belle rushing to finish a work proposal for a client on Friday, March 15.
Tom offered to watch his cousins while they traveled the considerable distance after Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) expressed their frustration at not being able to see Angelica (Rebecca Bakes) at her safe children’s home in Bristol.
Despite her initial doubts, Belle consented after realizing how crucial it was to Jimmy. Belle told Tom she was going to work somewhere else because she wanted to finish her proposal.
But Tom was able to convince Belle that wasn’t their agreement, making her feel bad and convince her to stay. Belle discovered a milkshake spilled on her laptop upon her return.
She made a valiant attempt to fix the laptop, but it appeared to be entirely broken. It’s possible that one of the boys was at fault, but Tom was probably just attempting to exert even more control over Belle.
Fans took to social media, speculating that Tom would suffer a terrible fate at the hands of the other Dingles, now that Belle had lost all hope of completing the proposal.
“The sooner the Dingles discover Tom’s treatment of Belle the better,” a viewer wrote.
Another concurred, saying, “I’m eager for Cain to learn about Tom’s mistreatment of Belle later in the plot. I hope Cain buryes him and fills the b*****d’s hole with concrete.”
Another wrote, “Can’t someone drop a big f**k off grand piano on Tom’s head.”
One more person said, “Tom needs a proper punch in the face.”
Someone else said, “Tom really is a vile t**t.”
A sixth person echoed this, saying, “I can’t wait for everyone to learn about Tom.” It’s unfortunate, Belle deserves better.”
Next week, when he tries to further undermine Belle, Tom’s domineering behavior gets even worse.
Unbeknownst to Belle, when she takes a job with Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), Belle is not aware that she has received an offer to join Take A Vow.
Belle pretends Tom told her about the message despite her anger, covering for him.
Afterwards, Belle chastises Tom for misleading Suzy about the job, but he is able to console her. When Belle accepts the position, he is not pleased, and he gets upset when Suzy claims Belle’s first client is a “perfect match” for her.
The next day, Tom’s abusive behavior gets worse, and things get very dark. Tom does something unimaginable at Marlon Dingle’s (Mark Charnock) party, but what could it be?
