ans of Emmerdale have been left cheering on the apparent return of the ‘old’ Belle Dingle as she finally appeared to see the extent of Tom King’s evil in last night’s episode. This came in the aftermath of his attack on Piper the dog – in which he ran her down in an attempt to once again control Belle.

With Piper grievously injured, Tom told Belle that she would have to be euthanised. A tearful Belle accepted the news, and Tom’s plan seemed to be working as he used the situation to get back into her good graces.

As a weeping Belle left the vet’s surgery, Tom prepared to do the deed, finishing Piper for good. As he walked her home afterwards, he insisted that she shouldn’t be alone due to her poor mental health.

It was here Belle realised what Tom had done. Horrified, she accused him of killing Piper – recalling his past abuse of the pup.

Tom quickly tried to manipulate the situation. However, Belle wouldn’t let him talk her around.
