Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) makes a worrying discovery about husband Tom King (James Chase) in a new Emmerdale spoiler video, which leaves her horrified.
Recently, Belle and Tom headed off to Wales for a last minute trip, but in the new video Belle comes to realise that he is eager for more than just a holiday.
After preparing a meal for her husband, Belle finds him on the phone, and is shocked to hear that he is discussing the cottage they’re staying in.
Belle is horrified as Tom reveals he will have to give notice at work, but that he’ll be in touch with the landlord soon about coming back on a more permanent basis.
Once he’s hung up, Belle is quick to confront him about what she has heard, pointing out that they have never discussed a move to Wales and that it is a huge decision for him to make alone.
However, abusive Tom wastes no time in turning the tables on Belle, arguing that he was going to discuss it over their romantic dinner, but that she’d now ruined the surprise.
Tom has been abusing Belle for months, and one of his tactics has been to isolate her from her family and friends.
In previous scenes, Tom’s manipulation made Belle turn on cousin Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), who had expressed her concerns about Belle’s sudden change in behaviour.
His plot to move to Wales will surely leave Belle even more isolated and under his control – but will it succeed?
These new scenes are unfold in the form of a flashback, following Charity and Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) arrival at the trashed, blood-soaked cottage earlier this week.
There have been several flashback sequences throughout this storyline, which actor James Chase revealed to Metro.co.uk at the Radio Times Soap Awards have been interesting to film.
‘I think playing with time and when events are set is a different way of doing it, and I think it’s going to always be interesting because it’s not the norm.
‘You read the script and you’re like, “Okay, that’s going to be different!” So, it’s definitely been fun to do.’
