Emmerdale confirms Cain Dingle’s reaction to Belle’s abuse – and it’s not good news
Emmerdale's Tom King was left fuming in tonight's episode as he realised that Cain Dingle knows the truth about his abuse towards Belle. Fans are convinced that Tom is going to die
Emmerdale fans reckon it’s curtains for Tom King as Cain Dingle gets wind of Belle’s torment.
In the gripping episode on Friday (September 6), Charity dropped the bombshell on Cain about the horrific abuse Belle suffered at Tom’s hands. Spilling the beans, Charity revealed the extent of the physical and mental torture Belle went through, which had gone unnoticed by everyone.
Cain was seething and ready to take on Tom immediately, but Charity, following Belle’s wishes, pleaded with him to hold back. The episode closed with a tense encounter between Cain and Tom on Main Street, where not a word was spoken. Yet, the icy atmosphere was enough for Tom to sense trouble brewing.
With the stakes rising in the Dales, viewers are convinced Tom’s days are numbered. One fan took to X, posting: “Tom. Dead. Man. Walking. Brilliant,” reports the Express.
Another chimed in: “Nervous Tom? Well, you should be, your going to need to keep awake, they’re coming for you.” And a third added: “Your days are numbered now Tom Charity and Cain are on the case.”
One more fan expressed: “I’m kinda sorry that Cain didn’t lay into Tom, but the look Tom got was pretty good. Tom has seemed scared of Cain in the past and with just 1 look he should be sh***ing himself! Love it!”
One fan predicted trouble for a character, saying: “Tom’s downfall officially starts here, messing with the Dingles? Otherwise known as signing his death warrant in other words. Totally s**t himself when Cain walked past, thinks he’s untouchable but he’s defo underestimating Mama bear Charity and protective Big Bro Cain.”
Another viewer expressed relief at the storyline progression, writing: “I can now watch # emmerdale again… Just saying!”
A break from the soap was necessary for another fan due to frustration with the plot: “I was getting more and more angry watching the Belle and Tom storyline that I had to take a break from watching the only soap I really watch…Started watching again yesterday and the acting by ‘Belle’ and ‘Charity’ was award-worthy.”
Meanwhile, Belle has managed to slip away from Tom’s controlling ways. However, he’s not done yet and is currently dating Amelia, aiming to spark jealousy in Belle.
