Emmerdale’s Belle Dingle has been the victim of abuse at the hands of her husband Tom King for months.
Emmerdale seems to have hinted at who will bring down Tom King after months of tormenting Belle Dingle.
Over the past few months, Tom (James Chase) has been subjecting his wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) to abuse and gaslighting. After recognising his true nature, she ended their marriage and recently approached the police.
Despite Tom showing no signs of releasing her, Belle has kept silent about the violence and abuse she suffered at his hands. The villain even stooped so low as to seemingly kill her dog Piper, leaving Belle heartbroken.
Meanwhile, several of Belle’s loved ones, including Vinny (Bradley Johnson) and Charity (Emma Atkins), have expressed their worries.
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 that Tom’s downfall is imminent.
In the exciting preview for the soap’s upcoming autumn plots, things are set to take a dramatic turn in the well-known village.
And in a fleeting moment, an emotional Belle can be seen embracing an unidentified individual. Now, viewers believe they’ve identified the mystery person and speculate that this moment occurs after Belle finally breaks her silence, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Emmerdale fans have been left heartbroken over Belle Dingle’s latest storyline, with one fan expressing on a Facebook fan page: “Belle deserves happiness. Seeing her like this breaks my heart. She’s my favourite character.”
In the comments, speculation is rife, with one viewer commenting: “Is that Charity who’s comforting her? I really hope so! Charity was right all along!”
Another agreed, saying: “That’s what I’m thinking, it looks like Charity!” A third suggested: “Looks like Belle tells Charity everything.”
One more fan added their voice to the chorus of concern: “I really hope it is. Poor Belle. Someone needs to help her to get that horrible, twisted, man away from her.”
As the plot thickens and Belle might be turning to Charity for support against Tom’s abuse, viewers are left wondering if this signals the end for Tom. Fueling the fire, reports earlier in the year hinted at actor James’s departure from Emmerdale after the abuse storyline wraps up.
