ITV Emmerdale spoiler reveals Tom’s next terrifying Belle plan – with Vinny also in danger

Emmerdale spoilers for next week have revealed Tom King’s next terrifying Belle Dingle plan after his Wales plan was thwarted.

The ITV soap is tackling a coercive control storyline with Tom and Belle, and fans have recently seen Tom isolating and manipulating his partner Belle. With his vile and violent behaviour worsening recently as he took Belle to Wales on the pretence of a holiday in a recent episode but he actually planned to relocate there without his wife knowing, even applying for a job.

To make matters worse, Tom didn’t let Belle tell any of her family about their ‘getaway’ and even hid her mobile so she couldn’t contact anyone. Thankfully, Belle’s family member Charity Dingle has been very suspicious of Tom’s behaviour and after learning of Belle’s sudden departure, she decided to investigate on Tuesday’s episode with Cain Dingle as they arrived to the trashed cottage in Wales – with no sign of anyone at the property.

On Wednesday’s flashback episode, it was revealed that Tom’s vile behaviour had escalated even further in terrifying scenes. After targeting their dog, Piper, and locking Belle in the cottage, the brave character decided to escape with Piper when Tom was in the shower. Belle managed to get on a bus and drive off as Tom chased after her.

Since then, Belle has returned to the Dingles’ home while Tom has lied to Belle’s family, pretending she hasn’t been taking her medication and that he has done nothing wrong, blaming her mental health. On Friday, Vinny Dingle seemed wary of Tom and later when alone with Belle, he gently asked her if Tom had been abusive. It was clear Belle was scared and she got emotional, admitting that Tom can twist things and be verbally abusive.

Later in The Woolpack, Vinny overheard Tom being nasty about Belle to which he decided to confront him. In retaliation, Tom decided to tell the entire pub that Belle had an abortion instead of a miscarriage and Belle entered the pub just at that very moment. In more shock scenes, Tom then accused Vinny of sleeping with his wife before gaslighting Belle into remaining silent about their marriage. The episode ended with Belle scolding Vinny, warning him to back off and stay out of her life.

And now spoilers for next week reveal Tom’s next terrifying move. Despite the couple’s split, Tom is still looming albeit carefully from a distance and he is left livid to see Vinny and Belle make up with a hug following Friday’s row. Tom decides to paint Belle in a bad light as he tells aunt Nicola King how Vinny is clearly on the scene with his wife – to which Nicola unwittingly finds herself offering Tom a roof over his head.

After securing a new place to live, Tom suggests to Belle she can move back into their old house given he has already paid the rent. Despite sounding like a generous offer, it’s all part of Tom’s plan as he gets a secret key cut when the locksmith changes the locks for her. Meanwhile, following a mental health visit, Belle processes whether she is the victim of abuse. Will she realise the extent of the abuse she has suffered and report Tom?
