Emmerdale spoilers follow for Monday’s (June 24) episode, which can now be streamed on ITVX. The episode in

question will air at 7:30pm.

Belle Dingle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) attempt to flee Tom King (James Chase) backfired quite dramatically when her

abusive husband was rushed to hospital after he was electrocuted, with doctors confirming that he was momentarily

dead.

The events planner, as viewers know, has been gaslit and manipulated by the abuser ever since they tied the knot a

few months ago, with Tom even pressuring her into having a baby – despite the fact that Belle has been struggling

with her mental health.

But after discovering that she was pregnant, Belle knew she couldn’t have the baby and therefore arranged a termination, going to great lengths to keep her trip to the clinic a secret from Tom, who watches her every move.

In a bid to throw him off the scent, Belle told Tom that she had a miscarriage. The news left Tom reeling and, in typical Tom fashion, he was less than supportive and even attempted to pressure her into trying for another child.

Monday’s (June 24) edition of the ITV soap dealt with the aftermath of the abortion, with Belle struggling with guilt over what she’d done.

Rachel, who was keen to know why Belle had missed her latest appointment.

Belle branded herself a terrible person, revealing her abortion ordeal to Rachel, who was incredibly supportive, but as the two discussed Tom, the medical professional grew concerned about the level of control he has on Belle’s life.

In a bid to ensure Belle’s safety, Rachel provided her with a list of domestic abuse charities but Belle told her that she’d got the wrong end of the stick – that she was the problem in the marriage, not Tom.
