Emmerdale’s Tom King’s abuse storyline against Belle took an even darker twist on Thursday (August 15) as his latest plan to control his estranged wife were confirmed.
Belle Dingle (played by Eden Taylor-Draper) returned home from visiting her family in Scotland as she took a much-needed break away from the village.
Her marriage to Tom (James Chase) broke down last month following a trip to a derelict village in Wales where he planned to take a new job, without telling her.
His violent abuse became apparent to Belle and she fled their holiday cottage with her dog Piper in tow and headed back home.
Belle found the strength to seperate from Tom but he continued to make her life a misery by cutting off access to their bank accounts
and told their friends she was romantically involved with Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson).
