Belle is stunned to eavesdrop on Tom’s plans to remain in Wales indefinitely. The geographical separation from the Dingle family becomes the main obstacle, and Belle will have to confront Tom by herself!
Emmerdale has released a first look at Tom and Belle King’s upcoming special episode, which will be told through a series of flashbacks.
Viewers have witnessed Tom’s increasingly controlling and abusive behaviour towards his wife Belle.
In recent episodes, Tom secretly agreed to a job interview in Wales, convincing Belle that the relocation wouldn’t be permanent.
In next week’s special episode, Tom further isolates Belle from her family by taking his wife to a remote holiday cottage in Wales.
The full extent of their week away will be shown through various flashbacks. The worrying scenes will reveal Tom’s physical and emotional control over Belle and their dog Piper.
Physically separated from her loved ones, will Belle be able to escape?
Emmerdale has been working with the domestic abuse charity Refuge on this important storyline.
“The behaviour Tom King is exhibiting is typical of a coercive controlling relationship and at times will prove difficult and uncomfortable to watch. The assistance the charity Refuge has given us whilst researching this storyline has been enormously helpful in bringing this incredibly important storyline to our screens,” said Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper.
