Emmerdale fans have blasted Tom after months of his abusive behaviour

towards Belle. But when will the storyline come to an end?

Things are certainly looking to heat up (literally) with the barn fire coming

next week. Belle and Tom are both in the trailer so could be involved… Last night’s episode (Monday, September 2) saw the ever-persistent Tom send another threat to Belle when she popped into the shop for some of the finest (reduced) pasta. But, what’s to come next?

Emmerdale: Belle and Tom’s abuse

In last night’s Emmerdale, Tom started the conversation by telling Belle that he was a “good guy,” (hmm) and that he was making Jimmy and Nicola pasta for letting him stay at their house. Belle quickly grew suspicious of the constant “nice guy” comments.

She asked whether he had been spying on her emails as she had earlier received one saying there was nothing to disclose with Clare’s Law.

Tom then suggested she should check her passwords and be careful about photos. Alone, Tom suggested that Belle was hearing voices and that no one would believe her. Belle then fled the store.

This appeared to be a threat from Tom that he was going to send inappropriate photos of Belle online.

Later, she tried to access her private photos and discovered that the password had changed. Belle got angry and threw her laptop…

Will Tom share them around?

Emmerdale fan outrage over Tom

Fans have flocked to social media to share their rightful disgust at Tom’s abusive actions. One X user worried that the storyline should be put to rest soon: “If it goes on much longer, the village will be on Tom’s side, as he makes her out to be unstable, eventually that will stick with the villagers. This needs to end now.”

Some aren’t so keen on the abuse storyline. Someone noted: “Let’s hope the Belle/Tom storyline concludes soon. Why isn’t she gathering evidence against him?” While another added: “Tom needs to go ASAP.”

Others emphasised Tom needed to leave, with one person exclaiming: “Make it stop.” But when will it come to an end?

When will the storyline end?

Tom seems to be gaining supporters, with Paddy Kirk telling Belle to go easy on him during Monday’s episode. But his past actions could be coming to bite him sooner than we thought…

Both Tom and Belle feature in the trailer for the barn fire, which is due to take place next week. Several people are thought to be involved, with someone potentially reaching a premature end.

Could this be the end for Tom? The storyline as a whole is set to run until the end of the year, but what does this mean for Tom? Will he be around long enough to see the year out?
