Emmerdale ‘reveals’ who Belle ‘teams up with’ to take down Tom – and fans are buzzing

Emmerdale has seemingly confirmed who will bring down Tom King after months of tormenting Belle Dingle.

Over the past few months, Tom (played by James Chase) has been subjecting his wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) to emotional and physical abuse. Belle has since ended their marriage after seeing his true colours and recently reported him to the police.

Despite Tom showing no signs of letting her go, Belle has kept quiet about the violence and abuse she suffered at his hands. The villain even stooped so low as to apparently kill her beloved dog Piper, leaving Belle heartbroken.

Several of Belle’s loved ones have expressed their worries, including Vinny (Bradley Johnson) and Charity (Emma Atkins).

However, following a new Emmerdale trailer, fans believe they’ve figured out who Belle will confide in first about Tom’s abuse, and are convinced his downfall is imminent, reports the Manchester Evening News.

In the exciting preview for the soap’s upcoming autumn plots, things are set to take a dramatic turn in the iconic village. In a fleeting moment, an emotional Belle is seen embracing an unidentified person.

Now, viewers think they’ve identified the mystery individual and speculate that this moment comes after Belle finally breaks her silence.

Over on an Emmerdale Facebook fan group, one eagle-eyed viewer posted a still from the show and commented: “Belle deserves happiness. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She’s my favourite character.” As the fans dissected the scene in the comments, one wrote: “Is that Charity who’s comforting her? I really hope so! Charity was right all along!”

Another chimed in with: “That’s what I’m thinking, it looks like Charity! ” A third fan speculated: “Looks like Belle tells Charity everything.” Another loyal viewer weighed in and emphatically stated: “I really hope it is. Poor Belle. Someone needs to help her to get that horrible, twisted, man away from her.”

With chatter suggesting Belle might spill the beans to Charity about Tom’s ghastly deeds, are we seeing the beginning of his end? Plus, with buzz earlier this year that actor James Hutton, who plays Tom, could be exiting the soap after wrapping up this harrowing plot, there’s plenty for fans to mull over.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
