Emmerdale tonight saw Tom left potentially dead after Belle stabbed him in the back with an axe. This isn’t going to look good for her, but will he pull through?
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Belle finally fought back – with devastating consequences
Amelia pretended she was no longer on Tom’s side and she now believed everything Belle says. She told Amy she needed a private word with Belle to go through what they ‘have both experienced’ at Tom’s hands. Amy bought every word, but Tom was lurking again and soon emerged to talk about their plot.
Amelia managed to trick Belle into meeting at the Dingles’. She was then was left shocked and horrified when Tom turned up instead of Amelia.
Tom taunted her, but Belle stood her ground. However then he locked them in and took her phone.
When it became clear none of his manipulative behaviour was working, Tom flipped, threw Belle to the floor and started beating her. Then, as she tearfully cradled her bruised and bloodied body, he calmly decided it was time for a coffee. However, even the attack hadn’t dampened her fighting spirit and he lost control again, ranting and raving at her.
She took her chance when his back was turned and grabbed Sam’s shotgun. Belle then escaped, but instead of running down the road to town for help, she ran to a derelict building instead. Tom just followed her and smashed in the door with an axe.
Tom had got in and although Belle shot him, she hadn’t taken the safety off the gun. He laughed and took it off her, but the fact she’d pulled the trigger made him realise he’d lost all control of her. He then held her at gun point, but as he turned round she stabbed in the back with the axe. Tom fell on to a disused mattress as Belle sobbed in shock at what she’d done. But is Tom going to die?

From anger to passion: Laurel and Charles kissed (Credit: ITV)
Laurel slept with Charles in Emmerdale tonight
Laurel organised a disco and karaoke for the harvest festival, but Charles was not impressed and told her to cancel the DJ. He ripped the posters down and said he was taking over everything.
Meanwhile, Manpreet and Laurel were still acting like BFFs despite never having spoken before. And Jai suddenly wanted his former stepmother’s advice on his romantic life.
Laurel made a stand and went to visit Charles at home, but their rowing turned into passion and soon they were kissing, before heading upstairs.
And right at that moment, Manpreet was advising Jai to tell Laurel how he feels. She then went to visit Charles and caught him running down the stairs doing up his shirt. She saw Laurel’s jacket and worked out what had happened. Manpreet was clearly disappointed, but decided not to tell Jai.
Laurel worried their friendship was over as she’d broken girl code, but given their friendship only started yesterday, it’s probably not that big of a deal.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Cain left town
Cain didn’t want to leave Moira to go and look after Zak. But she insisted he was to go and not worry about her. Easier said than done when she’s got a mass growing on her brain.
But another call from Debbie alerted Cain to the fact his dad’s a lot worse than they first thought.
He did momentarily stop to worry about leaving Belle, but stupid Mack convinced him Belle was safe. Let’s hope Cain gives Mack a special ‘thank you’ for that mistake.

John stayed in town
For someone who didn’t want to stick around in the village and who didn’t want to use any of his medical training, John went to the doctors for an interview, during which he saved Pollard’s life. After a rather awkward exchange during which Dr Liam suggested he would be good eye candy (eh?) John told him he’d love to accept the job. Very out of character.
Of course busy body Victoria was thrilled with the news and eagerly watched over as John signed on the dotted line. Bet he’s thrilled to be sticking around, no really.

Amelia Spencer in Emmerdale has been getting on fans’ nerves lately as she has fallen hook, line and sinker for Tom King‘s lies. As she fails to spot the multiple red flags around her new boyfriend, Amelia is fast becoming public enemy number two (behind Tom, of course).
But is she really to blame? She’s young, a single mum with no real family around and very impressionable. Tom’s picked an easy target, that’s for sure. So is Amelia really a mean girl or is she simply a victim too?
Amelia has been pretty awful lately (Credit: ITV)
Who is Amelia Spencer in Emmerdale?
Amelia arrived in Emmerdale as a child in 2011. She grew up thinking Dan Spencer was her biological father and divided her time between Dan and his partner Kerry, and her mum Ali and her partner Ruby.
Amelia competed in beauty pageants, proving to be quite the little diva at a young age. But she also devoted herself to God, becoming a passionate Christian.
In 2015, Amelia’s world turned upside down when Ruby died in a helicopter crash. In 2018, Amelia learned that her mum had sadly passed away too.
It then turned out Dan’s brother Daz was actually Amelia’s biological father. Amelia went missing and was living with a girl called Beth who had made friends with her in an online chatroom. Beth had manipulated Amelia into not returning home, telling her her family didn’t care about her.
In 2022, a fifteen year old Amelia got drunk at a party and ended up sleeping with Samson Dingle. She fell pregnant with his baby and gave birth to Esther in October that year. By this time she was dating stalker Noah Dingle, who had just been released from prison.
When Amelia began posting beauty tutorials online, she got herself a stalker called Lloyd. Dan acted and punched the man to ground, a moment that would end up killing Lloyd. Dan was then sent to prison for manslaughter, with a sentence of eight years.

Amelia and Tom
Amelia broke up with Noah last month after discovering he had called the police on Samson. Suddenly she was in Samson’s corner even after he had wanted nothing to do with her or their baby. Noah was sent on his way and Amelia wasted no time getting together with newly single Tom King.
Tom’s wife Belle had finally left him after what viewers know to be months of physical and mental abuse. But Amelia has been totally taken in by Tom, believing Belle’s mental health is causing her to make up lies about her ex.
Everyone in Emmerdale seems to believe Belle, however. Tom has been suspended from the vets and has fled the village, going into hiding. Only Amelia knows where he is and they are having secret meetings to pledge their love.
His mask slipped momentarily last night (Wednesday September 26) when he snapped at Amelia, but she soon forgave him and melted into his arms. She has said some awful things about Belle, promised to help Tom clear his name in whatever way he can and has even launched an attack on Chas who took her in when she had nowhere to live and nothing to give Esther.
Amelia is coming across as nasty and vicious. But is she a victim here too?

Amelia in Emmerdale is a mean girl
Things haven’t been easy for Amelia. She’s got no family around her, other than Kerry and Amy, and is really the perfect target for Tom to reel in and isolate. But viewers don’t all see it like that and many think she is just plain nasty.
“The way Amelia talks about Belle because of her mental health issues is disgusting. I understand that Tom has manipulated her into believing that she’s lying, but to talk about her mental health that way is nasty,” shared one on social media.
Another added: “Amelia is a right nasty and very ungrateful wee [Bleep] that needs taken down a peg or three or maybe five.”
“Amelia needs to snap out of it, nasty cow can’t wait for her to grovel to Belle,” raged one more.
Someone else said: “Amelia has always been this way about every single thing. She’s always been moody and crabby. She’d use people when she wanted something from them then dropped em.”
However, others can see she has been “brainwashed” by abuser Tom.
“Amelia has been totally brainwashed by Tom. The only way for her to turn against him is if she saw physical evidence of his abuse towards Belle or she sees his dark side for the first time,” said one.
Another, writing on Reddit, said: “I feel sorry for her. She’s annoying, nasty and SO self righteous, but there’s a reason Tom targeted her. She’s literally just turned 18, her dad is in prison, her mum is dead. And I think people tend to forget that Noah had just got out of prison for being a little weirdo when they started dating. Doesn’t excuse her behaviour, but Tom chose her because he knew she could be easily manipulated. She’s a victim in this too, she’s just not a perfect victim and people don’t like that.”
Other people on the site were quick to agree with the reasoning.
So what do we think? Is Amelia just plain nasty? Or is she an innocent victim in all of this too? Let’s not forget Tom is the true villain here, so perhaps the witch hunt should be focused on him?

Classic Emmerdale: It’s over for Simon and Nicola
Wanting to help, Lesley and Ivan try to get Nicola and Simon together to sort out their differences. Simon reveals things started to go south when he lost his business. He firmly believes Nicola wants the entrepreneur not the man.
But Nicola is adamant that’s not the case, in fact she misses his drive and ambition. Things don’t go well as the couple start throwing insults at each other. They eventually agree their relationship is over.
But then Nicola insists Simon must move out – and Simon tells her the house is his! Can they figure this out?
Nicola chases Ivan as he and Paul commit
Nicola is comforted by Ivan over the break-up, but it only makes her like him even more. She mistakes his kindness for attraction and looks at him longingly. Ivan’s worried about Nicola’s looks and wonders if she’s trying it on with him.
Meanwhile, Paul says he’s sorry for going through Ivan’s phone. He wants to prove himself so offers him a key to the house. Rodney isn’t keen on the idea, but Paul pleads how serious he is about Ivan and Ivan is touched by the gesture.
As Paul confides in Diane he thinks he’d found his Mr Right, are Nicola’s advances going to bring everything crashing down?
Terence starts to plot in Classic Emmerdale
Adam coaxes Steph to the Woolpack for a drink and insists she stays put when Terence arrives. Stirring trouble Terence talks to Jimmy and says it’s odd that Adam is with Steph given her history.

We didn’t think it was possible, but in Emmerdale tonight Amelia got even stupider when she fell for Tom’s declaration of love. As she failed to question any of his lies (and her own make-up choices), she agreed to help him do anything. A promise that will undoubtedly end badly for Belle tomorrow night.Â
Elsewhere, Will and Kim’s divorce war raged on and news reached the village of Zak being unwell. Cain’s off to look after him, which could leave Belle very vulnerable indeed.
Here’s a catch-up on everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Amelia laid into Belle and Chas (Credit: ITV)
Belle made a decision as Amelia made a huge mistake
Belle has decided it’s time to go to the police. But Amelia overheard her and Chas having a random discussion and assumed it meant Cain was going to attack Tom, so she launched a tirade at them both. At this point she’s wearing so much make-up she could be auditioning for TOWIE, but that aside, she’s still annoying everyone – including us. Chas gave her both barrels back, which was long overdue, frankly.
Amelia then decided to move in with Amy and Kerry instead. Those two super-detectives have worked out she’s still in touch with Tom and want to do all they can to make her see sense.
Amelia then called Tom to meet her urgently. He wasn’t particularly nice to her and she wanted to come clean about being a couple and move in together. Tom turned nasty and told her he had enough on his plate and he needed peace and not nagging. Upset Amelia left, but has she seen his true colours at last?
Meanwhile, Amy went to visit Belle offering a listening ear. But also she wanted Belle to tell her what had happened between her and Tom to protect Amelia. Obviously Amelia wasn’t interested and was firm Belle was making it all up. Off she went to meet Tom again and accept his apologies without even blinking an overly made-up eyelid.
Of course Amelia told Tom Belle was going to the police and then melted when he told her he loved her. She agreed to help him with whatever he needed as he plotted to regain control and win again. Oh Amelia, you stupid, silly idiot.
Kim and Will are still at loggerheads (Credit: ITV)
The Kim and Will saga dragged on in Emmerdale tonight
The former couple were circling each other like wolves, with Kim shoving her high heel into his sandwich without him realising – ooh, now this really is serious stuff.
Ruby has taken Will and Kim’s split hard. Yes, you read that right, she is upset by it. Mainly because it’s brought up unhappy memories of families and so she does not want Caleb to get involved with Will.
Caleb however, needs Will’s help. He wants Jimmy’s share of the haulage yard now and Will to get it for him, but Jimmy wasn’t interested. Are you still awake? We’re struggling, to be honest.
Caleb and Will then faced off in the pub and we were still bored. Back at home, Will gave Kim a speech about something or other than made little sense to us, but seemed to rattle her. And so we wait for tomorrow, when this will no doubt continue.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
John was offered a job
Dr Liam was impressed by John’s medical knowledge in the pub and suggested he think about putting his training to use. He wants John to be a paramedic practitioner.
Of course Victoria had to stick her beak in and John got the wobbles. For some reason, John is still hanging around and keeps chatting to her. We’d have driven off in that stinky van weeks ago to get as far away from her as possible.
Zak Dingle in Emmerdale (Credit: ITV)
Zak isn’t well
Debbie has called to say Zak is not well. Cain has decided he’s going to go up to Scotland and help. He’s reluctant to leave Moira, but hasn’t really thought about abused sister Belle. With Cain out of the way, Tom feels he’s free to strike, which isn’t good.
And Tom aside, it looks like this could be the start of Zak’s farewell storyline. Pass us the tissues.
Laurel and Manpreet’s girl talk
Given they’ve never spoken before, Laurel and Manpreet are all of a sudden BFFs, discussing their sex lives in the cafe. Obviously the point of this is to make it all-the-more weird when Laurel sleeps with Charles later this week, but it was still a bit crowbarred in – and cringeworthy.

Emmerdale tonight saw John’s secret revealed to viewers – and it wasn’t as exciting as we’d hoped. Sure, it was emotional, but it felt a bit flat.
Meanwhile, Kim took more revenge on Will and hit him where it hurt – literally and metaphorically.
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday September 24.
Belle was supported by Lydia (Credit: ITV)
Lydia opened up to Belle
Belle was frantically searching for hidden cameras in the Dingle homestead. Lydia kept insisting Belle had evidence and encouraged her to go to the police.
Belle then asked Lydia for help – getting her to explain what it was like when she went to the police over Craig and her rape. But Belle was still unsure as they had dropped the charges in Lydia’s case and she felt no one would believe her over Tom. Lydia tried to convince Belle people will see through it as she has evidence. Is it enough to get Belle to go to the police, though?
The conversation and memories hit Lydia hard as she broke down in tears.
But later Lydia offered more comfort to thoughtful Belle telling her she had to decide what happened next. Will Belle finally report her abusive husband?
Victoria now knows John’s Aidan Moore secret (Credit: ITV)
John’s secret fell a bit flat in Emmerdale tonight
Victoria apologised to John for her frankly weird and obsessive behaviour, but it still didn’t stop her prying.
John then finally gave in explained who Aidan Moore was. He was apparently his best mate and he died when they were serving in Afghanistan. He went into great detail about Aidan’s death and given he has refused to open up about anything at all, this all seemed quite strange.
John got pretty emotional (for him!) and broke down as he was telling the story. Not that we’re saying this didn’t happen, but surely there’s more to it? The fact this big secret that has been teased for some weeks was delivered right at the beginning of the episode and then not referenced again felt very flat. Hopefully this isn’t it. And if it is, what a waste.
Will was jealous (Credit: ITV)
Things weren’t going well for Will
Will broke the news to Jimmy Caleb is his new business partner. Jimmy was not happy in only the way Jimmy can’t be. Hearing the commotion, Dawn gave Will the time of day for 10 seconds, but then changed her mind and walked off again.
Will then went toe-to-toe with Kim again, who was claiming she’d slept with someone else last night as said man came down the stairs. How long are we going to have to deal with these two going back and forth? Much as we love Queen Kim Tate, this sort of tit-for-tat is going to get pretty boring, pretty quickly.
Will then may have made a mistake, threatening to have Kim killed in front of a witness. Has he just played right into her hands – can we feel another faked death coming on?!
He earned himself a punch from Kim’s bit of suit after calling her a ‘trollop past her sell-by date’. Kim did tend to Will’s wounds, though, and they even made jokes at each other. And Will admitted he was very jealous. Could she be thawing? Can they make it work and we can all forget about this nonsense storyline?
Not at the moment, because Kim fired back that he needed to move out. Sigh.
Kim then went to visit Dawn and apologised for what happened with Rose. She wanted to be part of Dawn’s family and be friends again. Dawn seemed much more forgiving of Kim than she does of her own dad. But is Kim on the level or is she trying to isolate Will from his family? Does she really mean it?
Will then decided to team up with Caleb to take Kim down. He promised to do anything – legal or illegal to “bring her to her knees” and “make her life a misery”. Will Caleb bite? And what does this mean for Kim? And once again, how much longer are they going to drag this out for?
Just get on with the romance already! (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Charles and Claudette were still planning the Harvest Festival – let’s hope this also comes round quickly because it’s not the most riveting storyline.
Gail got involved, wanting to throw a disco in the village hall. Laurel was totally on board, Claudette was not. Modernising the church seems to be a long way off.
Laurel soon stormed off and Claudette decided she must be menopausal! But then Charles overheard Laurel being mean about his mum and it didn’t go down well.
We appreciate all of this is just a plot device to get Laurel and Charles together, but it all feels a bit forced and crowbarred in to give the characters something to do. Laurel hasn’t really been near the church for years, now all of a sudden she’s a dedicated parishioner who wants to improve attendance? Riiiiight.
Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal Moira’s mistake causes deaths on the farm. Meanwhile, Laurel finds herself caught out twice as she continues her dalliance with Charles, but then Arthur’s teenage rebellion takes centre stage.
Here’s what’s going on in Emmerdale spoilers for next week.

Alan makes an offer to Terence
After he’s offered a job with the Kings, Terence wonders where he will live if he stays in the village. Meanwhile, Alan feels like he’s outstayed his welcome at Betty’s.
So, he decides to buy Tug Ghyll and asks Terence if he will live with him.
Steph snaps
With Terence sticking around, it’s making Steph feel even more on edge. She has a run-in with her brother in the street and immediately takes it out on Adam. She tells him this is all his fault as he dragged up the abuse when she’d spent so many years trying to hide and forget it.
Furious Adam retaliates that he’s fed-up of her mood swings. Distraught Steph interprets this as him doubting her story and throws him out. Is this the end for them?
Simon isn’t sure about Nicola
With his money troubles mounting, Simon is surprised to see his old flame Natasha Abbott. He later reports to his mum that she is paying him back the £3000 she owes him, plus an extra £2000 as a thank you. Lesley insists Simon needs to tell Nicola so it can fix their relationship, but will he?
Simon later confides in his mum that things aren’t right with Nicola. He hates how materialistic she is and wishes their union was based on love not money. Lesley thinks he shouldn’t give up and should fight for Nicola. Can they figure this out?
Pearl and Len bond with her grandson (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Pearl gets a surprise
There’s a shock in store for Pearl when her grandson, who she hasn’t seen for 10 years, turns up. The problem is, Owen hasn’t told his mum where he’s gone.
A quick call from Pearl discovers his mum is furious and wants him back in Hong Kong ASAP. But Owen says he just wanted to see his nana after all this time. Will Pearl let Owen stay?
Owen continues to turn on the charm when he tells Pearl he wants to know more about his dad. He asks to visit his grave. Pearl is confused and stunned when she realises Owen thinks his father is dead. In fact, his dad, Pearl’s son, Frank Bernard, had left town after being released from prison after serving a sentence for rape. Will Pearl tell Owen the truth?
If there’s one thing Emmerdale loves it’s a secretive phone call and now it’s Billy Fletcher making them – but the question is: to who?
Speculation so far has everyone convinced he’s been working with Kim to blackmail Will. But one key moment last night suggested this was a red herring and he’s not working with her at all.
Instead, a new theory puts someone else behind it – and it’s someone we know very well indeed…

Billy keeps secrets in Emmerdale
Last night (Thursday September 20) Kim was revealed to be Will’s blackmailer. It was the most anticlimactic reveal ever given most of us had already worked it out. But what wasn’t clear was who had dug that massive grave for her and put the coffin in – surely she must have had an accomplice?
All viewer eyes were then on Billy, when he started acting shiftily. It seemed too convenient when he made excuses to Dawn that he had a last minute PT client booked and had to dash.
But he dropped his bag and when Dawn checked in it, she found a wad of crisp notes. It instantly raised her hackles because they have been struggling to pay their bills. So why would Billy sit on so much cash instead of helping the family out.
She confronted him and he made up an excuse about wanting to surprise her with a holiday. He insisted he had been saving up from his PT clients payments for a while.
Dawn bought it, but told him no holiday until they’d paid their bills. Billy agreed before making another secretive phone call asking for more work – whatever was going, he didn’t mind.
So we know it’s not PT work as this is definitely dodgy. But what we don’t know is who the person on the other end of the line was.
Billy made a secretive phone call (Credit: ITV)
Who was Billy calling?
Although many are convinced he’s Kim’s righthand man, in fact, we think he gave the game away when he called the person ‘Mate’. Come on, who in their right mind would call Kim Tate ‘mate’? Definitely not if they valued their body parts!
So that leads us to wonder who else it could be and some fans have come up with a clever theory: it’s none other than Ross Barton.
“Could Billy be involved with Ross?!” wrote one on social media. Another also questioned: “Is Billy’s partner in crime going to be Ross Barton?”

Ross Barton returning to Emmerdale
The comeback of Ross Barton was teased earlier this week in a social media video. Emmerdale later confirmed it with a press release and new images of the man in question.
He is back in the Dales after six years, but details of why he returns are being kept under wraps. However, with him due back on screen this autumn, they may well be setting up his comeback storyline right now.
Could he somehow be involved with Billy? Where Ross Barton goes, trouble inevitably follows, so will Billy get in a mess?
Kim Tate has remembered who she is in Emmerdale and dumped cheating Will Taylor – but not before torturing him, of course!
It turned out on Thursday September 20 that Kim has been behind Will’s blackmail all this time. And even though fans had all figured it out, they were pleased to see Kim return to her old ways.
However, despite the love for bad girl Kim, there are those who are disappointed over the outcome for Will and Kim’s marriage. The pair had been popular as a couple and some viewers were annoyed the show has gone and ruined it.

Kim dumps Will in Emmerdale
Will has been racing round for weeks trying to get rid of his blackmailer. He’s sold his watch, taken an ill-advised loan off Caleb and followed every instruction the tormentor has set. All because he stupidly slept with his ex Rose and won’t own up to it.
Desperate to keep his sex secret, Will dashed off into the woods last night when he thought Kim had been kidnapped. What he actually found was a mannequin with her face on it. Further into the forest he went where he discovered a shovel and was told to dig. Hearing Kim crying out for help, he did as he was told.
What he found in the ground was a coffin and a walkie talkie. Not Kim. That’s because she was behind him, ready to whack him over the head with the spade.
Still confused as he lay in the coffin, Kim spelt it out for her husband: she knew everything, she’s been the one setting him up and their marriage was over.
Taking the £50k he’d managed to raise to pay the blackmailer off, Kim also took Will’s phone and left him in the ground. As Will shouted out after her, she replied through the walkie talkie: “Over and out,” meaning their marriage was done.

Fans react
Despite the outpouring of love for the old Kim Tate returning and exacting revenge like only she can, disappointment was in the air. There were those who really wanted Will and Kim to pull through this.
“Such a shame though, I really liked them as a couple,” said one on social media.
Another agreed: “I like Will, shame they have split another couple up in Emmerdale.”
“Why couldn’t they have let them be happy without the terrible storyline. Would love to see a proper happy family at Home Farm in fact in the whole village, too many far fetched doom gloom storylines Emmerdale’s writers PLEASE let have the old stories back with loads of lovely bonds and humour,” added one more.
“It’s a shame I liked Will and Kim together, such a silly storyline too,” commented a fourth.
But are they really over? Will Kim soften again and take him back? Or is this really the return of Queen Kim who rules the Dales with an iron fist?
