  • Tom King’s return leaves fans furious: ‘This absolutely wouldn’t happen’

    Tom King’s return leaves fans furious: ‘This absolutely wouldn’t happen’

    In Emmerdale this week, Tom King returned to our screens, leaving fans furious.

    Back in December, Tom was sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of domestic abuse and coercive control towards wife Belle Dingle.

    Viewers thought they’d seen the last of Tom, but he made a surprise appearance after Belle confirmed her intention to divorce him.

    Fans have now expressed their anger over Tom’s return, insisting that it “wouldn’t happen”.

    Tom King returns to Emmerdale

    In Tuesday’s episode of Emmerdale, Tom made a surprise return. He was seen in conversation with the prison chaplain about Belle starting divorce proceedings.

    Tom spoke about wanting to sort things out with Belle, but told the chaplain that Belle was refusing to see him. Doing what he does best, Tom used hie powers of manipulation to encourage the chaplain to speak to Belle’s solicitor.

    Still living in delusion, Tom was adamant that if Belle visited him they could iron out their “misunderstandings”.

    “What if you spoke to her solicitor, said that we’ve been talking and you thought a meeting would help both of us?” Tom said. “You know I want to make amends. If she saw that, I know she would forgive me. As a man of the church, I think they would listen to you more than me.”

    Later, Belle’s solicitor encouraged Belle to visit Tom as it could help speed up the divorce. 

    After the chaplain shared the news with Tom that Belle would be paying him a visit, Tom creepily said: “I’ve been dreaming of this moment. This is the chance I’ve been waiting for since I’ve been locked up… and I’m not about to waste it.”

    Fans express anger over Tom’s return

    Emmerdale fans were not happy to see Tom back on their TV screens. “OMG not again, is this not farcical when he was found guilty of controlling and threatening behaviour. It’s beyond belief!” wrote one viewer on Instagram.

    Another fan said: “Struggling to believe Belle would have been advised to go and see the man who abused her to have an amicable conversation…leaving him with all the power once again, when will this nonsense end?”

    A third fan said: “Here we go again. This absolutely wouldn’t happen,” with a fourth adding: “This is bonkers.”

    A fifth fan wrote: “Thought we’d seen the last of Tom. Disappointed he’ll be back on our screens again.” With a sixth fan asking: “Do we really have to go this road again with Tom? Just leave it where he’s in prison because it’s getting unbelievable now.”

  • Has Emmerdale given us a huge ‘clue’ that Tracy will die in limo crash? New theory suggests so

    Has Emmerdale given us a huge ‘clue’ that Tracy will die in limo crash? New theory suggests so

    Emmerdale might’ve just foreshadowed Tracy Robinson’s death in the upcoming limo crash as we spot a huge ‘clue.’ And, we hope we’re wrong.

    But, knowing that Tracy is a passenger in the girls’ limo, it’s sparked a new theory for us that she could lose her life in the crash…

    Upcoming Emmerdale limo crash stunt

    At the end of this week, the villagers will enter one of two limos – one for the boys and one for the girls.

    Tracy will head into the girls’ limo with Kerry and her other friends for a fun, night out. But, as driver Charity swerves the vehicle to avoid Noah in the road, the girls crash.

    Meanwhile, the boys don’t have much luck either as Caleb’s anger of Cain and Ruby’s fling causes their limo to crash in a separate accident.

    One of these limos goes straight through an icy lake although it’s unclear whether this is the boys’ or girls’ car.

    One thing has been confirmed though, not everyone will survive these crashes. Eek!

    Emmerdale theory: Tracy to die in limo crash?

    Recently in Emmerdale, Amy helped Moira look after little Frankie whilst Tracy went to work at the shop.

    She later suggested to Matty that they adopt a child, as looking after Frankie had made her realise how much she’d like to expand their family.

    Matty wasn’t so sure at first (it was suddenly sprung upon him to be fair), but then agreed to look into the adoption process.

    But now, with Amy, Tracy and Matty in the limos when they crash, we’ve come up with a worrying theory.

    We reckon that Amy looking after Frankie recently might be hinting at Tracy’s death… Then, with nobody being able to get in touch with Nate (we still don’t really know whether he’s dead or alive), Amy and Matty will survive the accident and adopt Frankie.

    We’re hoping we’re wrong, we really are, but have these scenes ‘sealed’ Tracy’s tragic end?

  • A Tom King return to Emmerdale is a huge mistake, here’s why  – OPINION

    A Tom King return to Emmerdale is a huge mistake, here’s why – OPINION

    Tom King returned to screens in tonight’s episode of Emmerdale. The character’s surprise return came as Belle began divorce proceedings – registering Tom’s surprise as he learned that Belle wanted to officially end their marriage.

    And, in typical Tom style, he wasted little time in trying to spin it to his advantage. Speaking to the prison chaplain, he set about trying to manipulate Belle into visiting him behind bars.

    What is Tom playing at this time?

    Tom King made his return to Emmerdale tonight

    It seemed unlikely for a while but, as the episode ended, Tom learned that he’d gotten his way – Belle would be coming to see him to discuss the terms of their divorce.

    “I’ve been dreaming of this moment. This is the chance I’ve been waiting for since I’ve been locked up… and I’m not about to waste it,” he sneered as the end credits rolled.

    Tom’s back, and apparently up to his old tricks again. True, he could be a changed man – and actually wants to see Belle to apologise before acquiescing to her demands, but it’s still far too soon. Here’s why his return might be a huge mistake.

    It risks undermining Belle’s story

    When we last saw Tom, a jury had sentenced him to three years in prison for his treatment of Belle. As the episode ended, the soap highlighted the stories of real-life survivors who had been through similar experiences to Belle.

    With its ending – Belle finally feeling free as she attended a support group – she and those like her had finally gotten the last word. With Tom’s return, the soap risks forgetting those all-too real voices… making it all about Tom again.

    We have to look at his smug face again

    With no disrespect to actor James Chase – who made Tom King such an enjoyably slappable screen villain – the break from seeing him scowling and looking smug all the time has been a welcome one.

    All of that changed tonight as it became immediately obvious that Tom’s an unchanged man… at least as far as James’s performance goes. Within minutes, he was sneering and scowling as though he’d never left.

    So much for justice

    Ever since he left, we’ve been picturing Tom living his most miserable life in prison. While it’s good to see him where he deserves to be, to watching him scheming and manipulating as he’s always done undermines that sense of justice.

    Who knows – Tom may very well be a changed man, as the bible and visits with the prison chaplain suggest. Either way, it would have been a more effective move to keep him behind bars, sight unseen.

    It prolongs his story… again

    The ballad of Tom and Belle took up most of last year’s Emmerdale, from his abusive, controlling behaviour toward Belle, to the whole cottage affair, to the long and drawn-out police investigation. The police eventually got to the bottom of the matter, but the story didn’t end there either – with Tom continuing to try and manipulate Belle from behind bars.

    Viewers complained that the story had become drawn out and contrived and, as it finally ended, we were finally ready to draw a line under Tom King. In the end, we only got a couple of months’ respite.

    It’s not fair on Belle

    Last week’s episodes saw Belle return to work, feeling positive about her future after seeing Tom off behind bars. After over a year of pain and misery for Belle and actor Eden Taylor-Draper, she deserves a break.

    Trust Tom to come slithering back into her life again. Here’s hoping she sees through his malicious games a little sooner this time.

  • Tom King is back in Emmerdale – here’s what the future holds for him and Belle after his return

    Tom King is back in Emmerdale – here’s what the future holds for him and Belle after his return

    Emmerdale has aired the return of Tom King. Fortunately he’s still behind bars, but it’s clear he’s plotting once again. So how far will he go this time?

    Is Belle in danger from her evil ex? She’s desperate to move on from their marriage and get a divorce, but Tom has other ideas…

    Tom King returns to Emmerdale

    It was obvious right from the start of tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Tuesday February 11), when we saw Tom King in his prison cell, that he has not changed one bit. He has not learnt a single thing from being found guilty and is never going to let Belle have the peace she deserves.

    He seems to be faking an interest in God and consulting with the prison chaplain. The chaplain may or may not have been taken in by Tom’s manipulation, it’s unclear. He seemed uneasy around the abuser, but also agreed to speak to Belle’s solicitor on Tom’s behalf.

    It seems Tom is delusional that he and Belle can iron out their differences and get back together. He thought the chaplain was the perfect person to make Belle see he’s a changed man. Except, of course, he is not.

    Tom expressed his desire to ‘make things up to Belle’ and used his first-class manipulation technique to get the man of the cloth on his side.

    Does Belle go to visit Tom?

    What really struck us as ridiculous though was Belle’s solicitor then advising her to go and visit him to ‘talk things through’ When have Tom and Belle ever been able to talk without him manipulating her?

    Then Lydia agreeing it was a good idea! This is the man in prison for coercively controlling Belle – why does everyone think her seeing him ever again is something she should do?

    Lydia pointed out she wouldn’t be alone with him, a prison officer would be there. But that won’t stop him trying to manipulate her and talk her round.

    Tom and Belle have already had their final showdown in court. And Belle got the justice she deserved. But it looks like, in her determination to get a divorce, Belle is going to go and see her ex.

    Tom was thrilled when he found out she would visit him tomorrow: “This is the chance I’ve been waiting for… I’m not about to waste it,” he told the chaplain. So what is he planning this time?

    We last saw Tom King in Emmerdale he was being escorted to a prison cell, but why is he back now? (Credit: ITV)

    Is Tom back for good?

    So Belle has agreed to go and see him in prison and by the sounds of things, that will air in tomorrow’s episode. Will he let her walk away though? Is this his chance to manipulate her once again? Or will she at last be free of him?

    Emmerdale is remaining tight-lipped about how long Tom is back for this time. But James Chase, who plays Tom, has previously said he would be open to revisiting the character or the story further down the line.

    “I think, with good behaviour, he’s only going to get something like 16 to 18 months, which is crazy,” James said.

    “But I think it would depend where they would want to go with the character, because there are many different avenues you could go with it. They could make it that Tom potentially had got even worse, and hasn’t changed at all. Perhaps, he could hate Belle even more for it.

    “Or if he did go the other way and finally did realise the terrible things he’s done, and perhaps did, actually start to try to become a better man.”

  • EXCLUSIVE: Who dies in the limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by Emmerdale fans

    EXCLUSIVE: Who dies in the limo lake stunt ‘worked out’ by Emmerdale fans

    Emmerdale fans are nothing if not perceptive and it’s not very often they can be fooled, so while we try to figure out who dies in the limo lake stunt later this week, many of them are sure they’ve already worked it all out.

    In fact despite many clues pointing to many different people, there’s only one person in their mind as to who will die.

    Who dies in the limo lake stunt in Emmerdale?

    An exclusive poll run by Emmerdale Insider reveals a whopping 63 percent of viewers are sure Leyla Harding will die.

    She’s followed at quite some distance by Caleb Miligan on 4 percent and Chas Dingle on 3 percent.

    So who’s worked it out correctly?

    Leyla’s last days

    Waaaay back in 2024, it was reported Roxy Shahidi was leaving Emmerdale and that she would die in the ice stunt. This was before Emmerdale had even confirmed there was going to be an ice stunt!

    The news came from The Sun, who reported an insider saying that bosses ‘want viewers to have their hearts in their mouths’ as the car slams into the lake.

    They added: “It’s a nightmare scenario and everything was done to make sure this was a scene with real impact. Hours were spent creating a layer of ice. Then the actors spent hours out on the frozen field in the pitch black trying to do the storyline justice.”

    On Friday (February 14) the girls and boys of Emmerdale go for separate nights out in separate limos. But while both vehicles crash, one ends up on the ice, sinking under. As we don’t know which limo it is, Leyla may or may not be in danger.

    But new images of Jacob working at the hospital, looking shocked have piqued further suspicions that his mother has been brought in and could well die.

    Is Will Ash leaving Emmerdale as Caleb Miligan?

    The other popular theory is that Caleb Miligan is set to meet his maker. In the promo trailer for the limo lake stunt a hand is seen desperately bashing on the ice. It is almost certainly a man’s hand – and wearing a wedding ring.

    Coupled with that, in one of the New Year flashforwards, Caleb was seen flatlining on an operating table, and Cain was seen sobbing by a graveside. It all adds up!

    William Ash, who plays Caleb, is also departing Emmerdale to film a new movie alongside co-star Amy Walsh. It has been written by Amy’s husband and former EastEnders villain Toby-Alexander Smith.

    However no announcement has been made that Will is leaving Emmerdale. It is thought he is just taking a break.

  • Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day? Fan spots huge ‘clue’ in trailer that could foreshadow her fate

    Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day? Fan spots huge ‘clue’ in trailer that could foreshadow her fate

    A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that Sarah Sugden will die in the soap’s Valentine’s Day ice stunt. This speculation comes as viewers attempt to work out who lives and who dies this week – with at least sixteen lives on the line.

    Sarah’s name wasn’t one of those released, but one Emmerdale fan has predicted that she could be among the fatalities. And this is no idle speculation either – with the recently released promo seemingly containing a big ‘clue’ to Sarah’s fate.

    Soap fans speculate Valentine’s Day death following new promo

    The soap released a new trailer last week which depicted a heart-shaped balloon floating from the Woolpack to the scene of the crash. It then deflates, sinking to the icy floor.

    The trailer then cuts to a hand banging on a sheet of ice, trapped in the freezing cold river below. Could this be Sarah’s hand? And even if not… just how safe is Sarah?

    Sarah to die on Valentine’s Day, Emmerdale fan predicts

    Writing on social media in the weeks leading up to the big ice stunt, one Emmerdale fan put forth their theory.

    “The heart balloon – Sarah. She could be involved in something else other than the car crash. The New Year’s trailer Cain is standing over a grave and just because it’s valentines doesn’t exactly mean that the heart is for valentines,” one viewer wrote.

    Regardless of whether the hand belongs to Sarah, the heart link would make sense. In June 2018, Sarah collapsed with heart failure after a history of poor health. In October that year, she underwent a heart transplant to stabilise her condition.

    Although the operation was a success, Sarah’s medical issues remain. Could this lead to her death on Valentine’s Day?

  • Emmerdale: No, April is not being a ‘brat’… it’s called trauma

    Emmerdale: No, April is not being a ‘brat’… it’s called trauma

    Emmerdale viewers have lashed out at April Windsor following this week’s scenes on the soap. Last night’s episode (Monday, February 10) saw April and Marlon say goodbye to her stillborn daughter in the hospital.

    April gave birth to the infant in upsetting scenes last week, in which it was revealed that she’d fallen pregnant prior to running away from home on Christmas Day. Giving birth to a stillborn child in the toilets of a gym, April was rushed to the hospital – where she reunited with her dad.

    Last night, as they bid the baby goodbye, April grew upset and stormed out. She then snapped at her father – claiming she felt nothing for the child. This earned April the ire of many viewers, who slammed her ‘bratty’ behaviour and suggested that Marlon should put his foot down.

    But is it really so simple? Between teenage pregnancy, the gruesome death of a friend, suffering a stillbirth and her subsequent hospitalisation (not to mention the bombshell that her mum killed herself!) April has been through a lot.

    Emmerdale fans defend April amid backlash

    As last night’s scenes aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on April’s behaviour towards her dad. And many felt that she should stop giving Marlon such a hard time.

    “Treading on eggshells around April isn’t really working. Put your foot down with a firm hand, Marlon,” wrote one fan.

    “April is such an ungrateful brat,” said another.

    “Tell April if she wants to be gone so bad, then let her go!. You can’t do right for wrong with her omg,” commented a third.

    However, others issued a reminder that April has been through a lot.

    “I’m kind of surprised at the lack of sympathy towards the traumatised child,” wrote one viewer on a Reddit thread.

    “I believe all that’s happened to her recently…especially the pregnancy, birth and the loss of her baby…is affecting her current state of mind. Understandably so,” said another.

    Maybe just give her some space, Marlon.

    Lisa Riley reveals grief behind decision not to marry fiancé

    Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has revealed the reason behind her decision not to marry her fiancé of almost eleven years. The Mandy Dingle star has been engaged to American musician Al since June 2013, but have yet to marry.

    Taking to Instagram in a new post, Lisa revealed why she and Al haven’t married – speaking of a series of tragic losses which made the prospect of marriage feel like an insurmountable difference.

    Lisa Riley speaks of decision not to marry fiancé Al

    Sharing a selfie with herself and Al, Lisa explained their decision not to marry after eleven years of engagement.

    “Today is “World Marriage Day” and don’t get me wrong at all, getting married is lovely, if you want that. But I want to shout so loudly….. you CAN be like Me and Al, here we are, couldn’t love each other more if we tried,” she wrote in the accompanying caption.

     

    View this post on Instagram

     

     

    She continued: “We have been engaged for years now, together eleven years this coming June. I don’t see how being married is any different to what we have. You can make full commitment to one another without having the conventional wedding day. As for some of us-it’s just not a priority, and also because we have lost (to heaven)so many of our family members now, the day would be exceptionally hard, so for this main reason alone, it makes sense.”

    Lisa added: “But for all of you who enjoy marriage I am here for you. Celebrate your love together….i love this so so so so much.”

    Marriage might not be right for Lisa and Al, but not so her character, Mandy. Last year saw Mandy wed long-time love Paddy after the pair resumed their romance.

    It wasn’t all smooth sailing, but the pair tied the knot in a typically chaotic Dingle wedding.

    What time is Emmerdale on tonight? Soap moves from its 7.30pm time slot again

    Emmerdale changes time slots again tonight (Tuesday February 11) which means it won’t air at its usual 7.30pm time.

    After a week of schedule changes last week, it seems we’re not done and can’t rely on it being on at 7.30pm. So when is Emmerdale on tonight?

    What time is Emmerdale on tonight?

    As a result of (yep, you guessed it) football once again, Emmerdale will air at an earlier time tonight.

    It’s the FA Cup screening on ITV live with Exeter City taking on Nottingham Forest. The two will kick-off at 8pm, meaning coverage starts at 7.30pm.

    Emmerdale will therefore be on earlier at 7pm.

    And it’s not the only time change for the soap this week. Things are back to normal tomorrow night (Wednesday February 12), but on Thursday it’s back to 7pm for Emmerdale again. This time it’s because of a live hour-long special of the Martin Lewis Money Show.

    With football and other live sporting events stepping up, we can expect more soap schedule changes in the coming weeks too. Maybe when we switch to the soap ‘power-hour’ new schedule in January 2026, things will settle down a bit? Probably not!

    All the action tonight

    After Joe’s overreaction to Noah turning down the Dubai job last night (Monday February 10) Noah is a bit weirded out. He then finds his tools have been stolen from his van overnight.

    Noah is forced to accept the job in Dubai, feeling he has no alternative now he has no equipment. However just as Joe begins to celebrate his win, Charity and Noah reveal they’ve been bluffing him. They knew he was behind the theft.

    Realising he’s been conned, what will Joe do next?

    Things are also not looking great for Joe on the romance front. Charity tells Dawn she knows about their affair, but says she won’t tell anybody. However she does warn Dawn off Joe.

    Troubled Dawn is upset by Joe’s attitude towards Charity’s threats and soon realises he doesn’t care about her at all. Understanding she was a just a bit of fun and her family mean nothing to him, what will Dawn do next?

    After tonight, we’re building up to the big stunt on Friday when a limo will crash into a lake. But who will survive?

    With Amy Walsh’s character Tracy Robinson being a passenger in the girls’ limo, she’s now teased what we can expect from the big stunt.

    And, Emmerdale doesn’t look to be doing things by halves. They’re going all out with a double stunt.

    The actress hinted: “There are a lot of tears, a lot of ice and a lot of blood and all the rest of it. So, it’s definitely worth tuning in for. I don’t think it will feel like your average soap watch with your tea in front of the telly thing.”

    She then ended: “I think it’s a matter of getting the kids to bed and getting it on. I think it will be a white-knuckle ride.”

    But, what exactly happens and who will suffer injuries that will prove to be fatal?
