Tom is under pressure in Emmerdale spoilers

With a court case looming, Tom doesn’t want anything to affect his chances of victory. Which means he needs to find a way of destroying his tablet.

Viewers will know the device contains proof that Tom was terrorising Belle. Not only does it have the incriminating images he was using to blackmail her with, there are also recordings from his hidden spy cams.

Little Isaac Dingle is now in possession of the tablet, and Tom has been keeping a close eye on him, waiting for his chance to get it back.

Tom tricks Isaac

An opportunity presents itself when Tom is able to catch Isaac on his own. He asks for his tablet back and Isaac reveals it’s back at Butlers Farm. Not only that, but he also tells Tom where the spare key is hidden!

Later, Tom retrieves the key and lets himself into Butlers, but is forced to take cover when Matty suddenly walks in.

Will he realise there’s an intruder in the house?

Belle goes to Moira for help

Meanwhile, Belle’s mind is still on the strange voicemail she received from Moira last week.

Moira, who’s battling a brain tumour, had had a look at Tom’s tablet and found the incriminating images of Belle. But before she was able to do anything about it she suffered a seizure, which wiped any memory she had of that moment.

Belle wants to know what Moira was on about in her message, but sadly she’s unable to remember.

Carl discovers the truth about his cousin

On her way back from seeing Moira, Belle is startled to run into Tom.

Once again he tries his best intimidation tactics and tells Belle she doesn’t stand a chance in court. Tom is confident he’ll walk away a free man, a thought which leaves Belle consumed with fear.

As Tom returns home he pulls out the tablet he’s been able to retrieve from the farm. Thinking no one is about, he uses a rock to smash the screen to smithereens. But Tom’s not alone – Carl is watching from nearby and sees everything. But will he keep the discovery to himself? Or is Tom finally about to get his comeuppance?

As the week begins, Will invites Jimmy over to say sorry for pressuring him into selling his shares in the haulage. Jimmy accepts the invitation as it’s a welcome distraction from the ongoing police investigation surrounding Tom.

The pair catch up over a few cans, but when Kim walks in to see the state of her living room, she’s livid!

Tom woke up as Belle worried about her future â€“ hereâ€™s what happened in Emmerdale tonight

Emmerdale tonight saw Tom wake up in hospital. Will he tell the police who was responsible for putting him there?

Meanwhile, Moira’s behaviour continued to worry her family and Aaron was questioned by the police over some stolen watches.

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday, September 30.

Will Tom report Belle? (Credit: ITV)

Emmerdale tonight: Tom woke up

Amelia and Jimmy continued to share one brain cell as they waited for news on Tom at the hospital. A doctor soon put them out of their misery when she informed them that Tom was improving.

With police waiting to talk to Tom, Amelia decided to get her side of things across and informed them that it was Belle. Jimmy suggested it could have been Cain, but Amelia quashed that idea and told him Cain was definitely in Scotland.

“I’m Amelia, his girlfriend, which Belle was really jealous about,” Amelia told the police â€“ with a straight face no less.

Amelia told the police that Belle wanted to punish Tom, with Jimmy adding: “It doesn’t take a genius to work out what happened.” Clearly.

Later, once Tom was awake, Jimmy asked Tom if it was Belle. But Tom didn’t respond. When questioned by the police, Tom claimed that he couldn’t remember what happened. “It’s blank,” he said. But he said he thinks he was meeting someone.

Idiot Jimmy continued to throw Belle’s name around and told Tom not to cover for her.

Once Jimmy had left, it was revealed Tom did in fact remember what happened. He called Belle and ordered her to visit him by 1pm tomorrow. He warned her not to tell anyone or he would tell the police everything.

Will Belle ever be rid of Tom?

Charity covered for Belle

Sam, Lydia and Charity continued to worry about Belle. When Lydia told Belle that Tom was out of danger, Belle said she might as well hand herself in.

However, Charity pointed at herself and said: “You have an alibi now.”

When police questioned Belle, Charity claimed her and Belle had been on a long walk at the time of the attack.

The police asked Belle about her relationship with Tom and she simply responded: “He was difficult to live with.” Which must be a contender for understatement of the century.

The Dingles aren’t the brightest bunch and didn’t quite get their story straight, with Lydia and Charity contradicting each other. After Lydia said they were all fond of Tom, Charity said the police could take their pick of potential suspects because ‘he’s not very popular.’

Will that slip up come back to bite them?

Matty moved in (Credit: ITV)

Moira’s family continued to worry

Moira was annoyed when Matty arrived with his bags and told her he was staying for a while. She claimed she didn’t need a babysitter, but Matty lied that he was only there because he was sick of Amy and Amelia’s drama.

When Mack came in to check on her under the guise that he needed a drink, Moira continued to insist she was fine and didn’t need to be checked up on.

She then promised her young son Isaac that he could have his own sheep. Mack told her it wasn’t a good idea, but she forged ahead with the plan.

In an ominous moment, Isaac asked his mum: “And you won’t kill them?” She promised him that no she wouldn’t… oh dear.

Later, Matty and Mack discovered Moira had left the house alone and immediately went searching for her. Mack found her returning from the farm up the road where she’d placed an order for Isaac’s sheep.

Moira told Mack to stop treating her like a child and then told Matty to pack his bags and go home because she was fine. But is she really?

Police checked Aaron’s car (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Police questioned Aaron

Aaron and John continued to flirt â€“ their own form of flirting anyway. John gave us all a bit too much information when he told Aaron: “I canâ€™t promise you a good night sleep.” Thanks, John.

Later, John watched on as a policeman approached Aaron. He asked him if he knew about any stolen watches as his car had been seen near the scene of the crime.

A clearly guilty Aaron denied all knowledge and happily showed the policeman the boot of his car, which was empty bar a couple of tools. Where has he hidden them?

Will Belle go to prison as Tom threatens to tell the police axe attack truth?

In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, September 30), Tom woke up in hospital after being attacked by Belle, leaving her worried that she’s facing a prison sentence for her actions.

In Emmerdale last week, Belle feared she’d killed Tom after she plunged an axe into his back leaving him laying lifeless on the ground.

However, it was later revealed that Tom was still alive. He is now conscious in hospital, but what does this mean for Belle?

What happened in Emmerdale?

In Monday’s episode of Emmerdale (Monday, September 30), Tom’s uncle Jimmy and girlfriend Amelia were told by the doctor that Tom’s condition had improved and that his pain levels were under control.

While Amelia and Jimmy made their feelings clear â€“ that they believed Belle was responsible for Tom’s injuries, Tom claimed to the police that he couldn’t remember what happened.

However, once he was alone, he called Belle. He ordered her to visit him in hospital and warned her that if she told anybody he’d tell everybody what she did to him.

Emmerdale: Will Belle go to prison?

Upon hearing that Tom was out of danger, Belle told Sam, Lydia and Charity that she might as well hand herself in. Charity, however, was adamant that she would do no such thing.

The Dingles covered for Belle, with Charity giving Belle an alibi â€“ they were out walking at the time of Tom’s attack.

It’s likely that Tom will go down the blackmail root due to his controlling nature. But if he does report Belle, provided the axe remains free of her prints, it’ll be her word against his.

There have been no reports that Belle or actress Eden Taylor-Draper are leaving Emmerdale. However, it’s likely that James Chase, who plays Tom, will leave at the end of the year.

This backs up what executive producer Laura Shaw previously told Entertainment Daily and other media. Addressing the length of the storyline, Laura confirmed: “Itâ€™s going to run until the end of this year.”

Given it’s hard for a character to get redemption after such a storyline, it makes sense that Tom will leave the Dales. So, whatever happens, Belle will soon be free of her abuser.

Who was Debbie Dingle? A look at her turbulent life in the Dales

In recent Emmerdale scenes, Cain temporarily left the Dales to go stay with his daughter Debbie and father Zak, after learning about Zak’s deteriorating health.

Debbie moved to Scotland in 2019, with Zak following in 2023 after suffering mobility issues.

But who was Debbie Dingle and what did she â€“ or rather, what didn’t she â€“ get up to while in the village?

Debbie Dingle arrives in Emmerdale

A young Debbie arrived in the village in 2002 as a foster child for Paddy and Emily Kirk after her adoptive mother Pat fell ill. She was 13 at the time.

When Pat died, the move became permanent. Debbie soon befriended the Dingle family and gave Cain a big shock when she showed him a picture of her biological mum. He recognised her – it was Charity.

Charity remained in denial at first and kept Debbie a secret from her husband Chris Tate. But they soon bonded and Debbie moved in with Charity and Chris.

Later in 2003, Charity admitted that Cain was Debbie’s father, leading to the three of them growing close. This angered Chris and he became aggressive towards Debbie resulting in her moving in with the Dingles.

Teenage pregnancy

Debbie started a secret relationship with Andy Sugden and lost her virginity to him in 2004. Debbie later discovered she was pregnant at 15. She hid the pregnancy from everyone and planned to abandon the baby after giving birth.

However, after giving birth in a shed, assisted by Emily and Daz, Debbie had a change of heart. But she didn’t initially take to motherhood and constantly left daughter Sarah with Emily.

Later that year, Debbie shocked her family when she gave Sarah to Emily, who was leaving the area. Debbie felt Sarah would have a better life with Emily and showed no remorse for her actions, which angered the Dingles.

It was 10 months before Sarah was returned to her family. But Debbie didn’t want to be a mum, so Sarah went to live with Andy.

Relationship with Jasmine

Debbie became close to Jasmine Thomas and later realised she liked her as more than a friend.

After confessing her love for Jasmine, the two started dating. But, in order to hurt his daughter, Cain seduced Jasmine, who was confused about her sexuality, resulting in Debbie and Jasmine breaking up.

They later reconciled and Debbie got her revenge on Cain by telling him that Jasmine had had an abortion.

Debbie was also involved in the killing of Jasmine’s boyfriend Shane Doyle. Shane attempted to rape Jasmine, and upon hearing her screams, Debbie came to her rescue and knocked Shane unconscious. But he woke up and grabbed Debbie. Jasmine then beat him repeatedly, resulting in his death.

Debbie and Jasmine decided to go on the run together, but Debbie was caught and charged with Shane’s murder. Jasmine later returned and admitted to the crime, though Debbie was still charged with perverting the court of justice.

Relationships with Michael and Cameron

Debbie started a relationship with a man named Michael, but was dismayed to discover he was engaged. He told Debbie that he loved her and had called off the wedding.

However, Cain discovered this wasn’t true and Cain and Debbie turned up at the wedding to discover the bride was her mum Charity!

Debbie later met Cameron, but their relationship faced many tests â€“ notably because Sarah was ill and needed a bone marrow transplant.

Debbie and Andy decided to try and have a baby together in order to create a donor for Sarah. This idea didn’t thrill Cameron. And he was furious when he later discovered that it wasn’t done via artificial insemination, but rather conventional methods.

Cameron went on to have an affair with Chas and was responsible for the murders of Carl King and Gennie Walker.

The end result was the Woolpack Siege, which saw Cameron threaten to shoot anyone who dared leave.

She married Pete Barton (Credit: ITV)

Pete and Ross Barton

Debbie started a relationship with Pete Barton and even proposed to him. But she later started an affair with his brother Ross.

Debbie planned to run away with Ross, but when she discovered he was the father of her mum’s baby, she ordered Cain to get rid of him.

She later married Pete, but he discovered her affair with Ross.

Following a helicopter crash, which saw Debbie end up in intensive care, she tried in turn to have a relationship with both Pete and Ross, but ultimately ended up leaving the village for France alone.

She returned the following year, before leaving for Scotland for good in 2019.

Who played Debbie Dingle?

Charley Webb has played Debbie since the character was introduced.

The actress was married to fellow Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden for 15 years before the couple announced their split last year. They have three children together.

Since leaving Emmerdale, Charley has appeared in a few TV shows. Most notably The Long Shadow, in which she starred in four episodes.

30th September 2024
Review of the week: Belle ‘kills’ Tom, Amelia annoys everyone and we can’t even talk about Laurel

Our Emmerdale review this week is all about one thing – the dramatic confrontation between Tom and Belle.

Because oh my goodness, we’re still waiting for our heart rates to return to normal after all that tension.

Here’s what we thought in this week’s Emmerdale review.

Amelia’s been taken in by Tom (Credit: ITV)

Amelia’s annoying

We get it. Amelia’s a troubled teen mum, who’s lacking a father figure, and Tom’s handsome and charming. But URGH. She’s being a total brat. The way she’s been speaking to Chas and to Kerry and Amy is not acceptable. And we understand that she’s a victim of Tom’s manipulation, too, but come on – open your eyes, Amelia. And apologise to Chas while you’re at it.

The tension was high as Tom tracked Belle down (Credit: ITV)

Ramping up the tension in our Emmerdale review

Remember waaaaaay back in the Woolpack siege? Chas and Debbie were in the flooded pub cellar, with murderer Cameron Murray hunting them. The lights were flickering on and off and giving us an occasional glimpse of Cameron getting closer. It was like a horror film. We abso-blooming -lutely LOVED it!

And we were reminded of those tense scenes this week as Tom trailed his axe up the stone steps to find Belle. Obviously when he started smashing through the door it wasn’t just like any old horror film, it was like the iconic scene in The Shining when Jack Nicholson does the same. And it was just as frightening as a furious Tom got the better of poor Belle.

We were holding our breath as Belle pointed the gun at him, only to realise the safety was on. And when Tom made out he was going to shoot her, we shrieked just as much as Belle did (more, probably).

Eden and James deserve all the awards (Credit: ITV)

The brilliance of Eden Taylor-Draper

Belle’s terror was so tangible and real that we’re calling it right now – actress Eden Taylor Draper should win every award going for her portrayal of frightened Belle. James Chase deserves awards too for playing volatile, dangerous Tom. They’ve both been amazing throughout this whole storyline.

Lydia’s transformation into a master criminal

Lydia refusing to call the police or an ambulance and planning to dispose of Tom’s body was unexpected to say the least. But we are here for it.

We can see her as the crime boss running the Dingle family. Like if Don Corleone from The Godfather had been a woman, from Yorkshire, in a tabard. Perfection.

The aftermath in our Emmerdale review

We didn’t want Tom to die, of course. We wanted him to face justice for what he did to Belle. But now he’s not dead, we sort of wish he had kicked the bucket. Because there is NO way he’s going to let Belle get away with this and there’s bound to be all sorts of repercussions for poor Ms Dingle. We’re not sure we can handle it!

And can we just say what luck that that the first person Tom came upon as he made his bid for freedom was Liam. Dr. Liam. What are the chances, eh?

Kim and Will are better together (Credit: ITV)

Will v Kim

Of course we were mostly focused on Tom and Belle this week but there were other stories happening. Will and Kim’s marriage seems to be well and truly over.

We hate Will and Kim fighting and we wish he’d never slept with stupid Rose. They were much better together than they are apart with their petty squabbles. BUT we quite enjoyed the glimpse of Kim’s financial adviser who spent the night – he’s definitely giving us Graham vibes!

Get over yourself, Dawn

Yep, we still hate Dawn and we’re still not sure why Dawn hates Will. YOU KILLED A MAN, DAWN! And Will covered it up for you. And then Kim covered it up for Will. Can’t you all just get along?!

Charles and Laurel

No. That’s all we can say about that. Just no.

Tom’s fate was revealed as the Dingles botched the cover-up – everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight

Emmerdale tonight revealed Tom was still alive after being stabbed with an axe by Belle. But as the Dingles worked to make sure Belle wasn’t blamed, their faffing about may have just led to her downfall. Where’s Cain when you need him, eh?

Meanwhile, Amy continued to stick her nose in and Amelia continued to whinge. Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

Belle is being protected by Lydia (Credit: ITV)

The Dingles started a cover-up

Shellshocked Belle ran back to the house where Lydia, Sam and Vinny arrived. She recounted what had happened, Vinny checked the body and said Tom was definitely dead.

As the family argued what to do, Lydia took charge and insisted they didn’t call the police or any authorities, they just needed to get the body off their land. It was very out of character for Lydia who held an entire Dingle court when she thought one of them had killed her rapist Craig and even left Sam for a while, believing he was responsible. Apparently this is different. How, we’re not too sure.

As the Dingles worried about how to make it all happen, with Sam suggesting they call Cain who has conveniently been packed off to Scotland for this storyline, Amy then arrived. Lydia made up a ridiculous story about Tom never having turned up and Belle having been on a walk with Charity. Seriously, call Cain now.

Amy seemed to buy it, but Vinny was still really against the whole cover-up. They ummed and ahhed and eventually agreed they would go ahead, but when they got into the flat, they discovered Tom’s body was gone. The axe remained, though.

Colour us – and the Dingles – confused!

Tom was alive – just – in Emmerdale tonight

Sam and Vinny raced off to find Tom and stop him going to the police, but it was too late, Dr Liam had found him collapsed in a field and called an ambulance. Sam and Vinny came across them and played dumb asking questions to get info. They then decided it was best to go to the hospital to make sure he didn’t say anything.

Belle also wanted to go to the hospital, but Lydia wouldn’t let her. She insisted Belle stick to the story that she went for a walk with Charity. However, Belle escaped and drove off.

The doctors were struggling to bring Tom’s pain levels under control and he had lost a lot of blood. But he’s still clinging on to life – just.

Belle soon came to a horrifying realisation: if he dies, she’s taken another life and has to live with it, if he survives she’s going to prison for attempted murder.

“He’s won,” she cried. Let’s really, really hope not.

Amelia whinged some more

In the cafÃ©, Amelia was continuing her campaign to be named soaps whiniest and most annoying character 2024. She whinged at Amy that she didn’t get what the big deal was, Tom was the one in danger from Belle. In this case, she wasn’t wrong, but still.

Amy meanwhile, suddenly keen to play the hero in this storyline, was shocked when Amelia revealed she’d told Tom Belle was going to the police. Seriously? What did she think was going to happen?

When Amelia found out Tom had been stabbed, she was firmly team Tom. She was sure Belle was responsible and went to the hospital to be with her love.

Although she was right, we still can’t be doing with her!

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Jimmy got the call to say Tom had been found by Liam and taken to hospital. He immediately blamed the King curse – and then the Dingles. He is sure Belle is behind this and if Tom wakes up and confirms it, Belle may just be right, Tom will have won.

When will stupid Jimmy see the light and realise who the villain is here? Probably never knowing him, but we can hope!
