    4 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Anthony’s back, Eric’s taking risks and will we see Tom again?

    In Emmerdale spoilers for tonight, Anthony is back with some huge news, and Eric continues to make risky decisions.

    Recently Emmerdale welcomed two new members into the Fox-Miligan family; Anthony and Steph. Ruby may have wanted her daughter to stick around, but she was more than happy to get her dad to leave the village.

    But tonight sees Anthony return, and he brings some huge news.

    Also in tonight’s episode, the question remains; will we see Tom again? Last night (November 28) the villain finally got his comeuppance as a smart plot twist saw Belle use her phone tracker to take him down.

    Find all of this and more below for Emmerdale spoilers for tonight.

    Emmerdale spoilers 1. Anthony’s back

    Despite Ruby telling everyone how much she does not want her father in her life, Anthony returns to the Dales.

    But this time, he brings the news of his cancer diagnosis, leaving Steph stunned and devastated.

    After assuring him he has her support, Steph hopes the news will help mend the fracture in their family. But when Ruby finds out, is she willing to put the past behind them?

    We know her strained relationship with him comes from when he tried to force her to get a termination. And with fans theorising that something more sinister happened in her childhood, is there more to the story?

    2. Eric continues to take risks

    Last night viewers discovered just exactly why Eric suddenly has no issues with spending huge amounts of money.

    As he surprised Brenda with tickets for a honeymoon cruise, many of those closest to him began to get suspicious – not Brenda, she just wanted to know if Jane McDonald would be there.

    After revealing to Leyla that he has invested all of his savings into cryptocurrency, it looks like his risks are just set to continue.

    Leyla tried to warn him it may be a scam, but Eric being Eric wasn’t having any of it, and was adamant it will eventually result in a big pay-out.

    But as his risks continue, will Eric ever tell Brenda?

    Emmerdale spoilers 3. Chas remains determined

    The truth came out to Ella last night about Chas and Liam’s relationship. Even though the couple had decided it was time to tell them, Ella’s stalking skills meant she managed to work it out first.

    So now, Chas and Liam don’t have to hide their relationship, which should be a positive thing for them.

    But with Ella’s history and fan theories suggesting she may take revenge, will their happy story last?

    4. Will Tom be back?

    He was convinced he was getting away, but Tom couldn’t help but try to terrorise Belle Dingle one last time before he ran, and that proved to be his downfall.

    Tricking him into thinking she was letting him go, Belle actually slipped her phone in his things, which meant he could now be tracked.

    As he was in the queue, about to board his new life, DS Foy arrived and arrested him.

    But while this means he is behind bars, Tom is not the sort of person to go down without fighting, so could he make another appearance?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom thought he’d got away with it – until Belle took her revenge!

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom thought he’d got away with it – until Belle took her revenge!

    Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King’s escape plain foiled as Belle and DS Foy brought him down. But is it for good?

    Meanwhile, Jimmy and Amelia both realised the error of their ways – about time – and Pollard’s secret was exposed.

    Here’s everything that happened in a very eventful Emmerdale on Thursday November 28.

    Jimmy saw Tom for what he is

    Jimmy was struggling with understanding what had happened and still couldn’t quite believe Tom was guilty. But he soon realised he had to apologise to Belle.

    Tom then arrived home and insisted he was prepared to fight Belle to clear his name. Jimmy asked him to just be honest if he wanted them to stay on his side. But of course Tom couldn’t stop lying.

    Jimmy finally realised who Tom was and told him to pack his bags. Jimmy then went to see Belle. He apologised and told her he was ashamed of himself for not believing her.

    Tom tried again and again and again to get Jimmy back on side, but Jimmy had finally seen the light. He told Tom he ‘disgusts’ him and once again threw him out. So Tom reverted back to his old tactic of pretending he was going to kill himself. But Jimmy saw through it straightaway and insisted it was over.

    Tom lost it then and laid into Jimmy about being weak and stupid, he even said his dad Carl had thought the same. Jimmy told him: “You really are a chip off the old block”, referring to Carl King and his many, many crimes, his weakness, his bullying and his abusive nature.

    Tom plotted to flee

    Meanwhile, Amelia went to visit Tom and wanted answers over him being charged. But Tom wasn’t in any mood to talk and manipulate, he just wanted her gone. Tom then called Ollie and told him it was “time for plan B” – plan B was running away to Saudi Arabia.

    Tom then told Amelia he wanted her and Esther to join him in Saudi Arabia once he was settled. Although she agreed, said she believed him and offered to help him get away, something in Amelia’s manner had changed – had she finally seen the light?

    Tom stole Kerry’s car so he wouldn’t be tracked and told Amelia he was heading to the airport. She let him leave. But then she went to the Woolpack and told everyone Tom had done a runner.

    Cain and Charity raced to stop him, but it turned out he had tricked Amelia to cover his back.

    Tom and Belle – the final showdown

    As he was driving along, Tom saw Belle walking and couldn’t resist pulling over. He told her she’d never get justice as he was running away – but one day he was coming back to make her pay. As she stood up to him, he couldn’t control himself and aggressively slammed her against the car.

    Their confrontation saw Belle take none of his abuse as he tried even more to manipulate her. Belle had all the power as Tom told her: “Someone’s found her voice” – and it’s not before time.

    It was Belle who walked away as Tom screamed after her that he loved her. But she just kept on walking. Yes, Belle.

    DS Foy to the rescue again in Emmerdale tonight

    Meanwhile, Cain and Charity realised Tom had conned everyone. At the same time he was meeting with Ollie who’d got him a fake passport and called him a cab to get him to a ferry.

    Tom’s smug smile as he thought he’d got away with it was soon wiped off his face when DS Foy arrived at the ferry port!

    It turned out during their confrontation Belle had slipped her phone into his bag. She gave the details to the police who tracked the device and rushed to catch him.

    Tom tried to run, he screamed, he fought, he kicked, but there was no escaping justice. At last.

    Ella caught Chas and Liam out in Emmerdale tonight

    Ella was clearly growing suspicious of Chas and Liam and was making things very uncomfortable for them. She dug for dirt with Mandy and found out Chas isn’t a fan of girl code, making her even more sure of what she thought she knew.

    Chas soon told Liam they had to come clean to Ella, but they decided to spend lunchtime having a quickie instead of confronting the situation there and then. And Ella was determined to catch them out.

    She burst into Liam’s and confronted him, forcing them to tell her the truth – or rather reveal it in scantily clad clothes. Ella launched into them both for lying and cheating and treating her like “muck”. Not strictly fair, but still. The truth is out now.

    Pollard in peril in Emmerdale tonight

    Pollard was pulling out all the stops for the engagement party and Leyla was excited. The bash then got underway at the Hide and Eric made a speech, surprising Brenda with a first class round the world cruise for their honeymoon.

    As everyone speculated why Eric was suddenly splashing the cash when he has a reputation for being tight, Leyla noticed Pollard was not quite right. She followed him home and he confessed he’d invested everything – his entire savings – in cryptocurrency and his account was empty.

    A quick call to the helpline saw Eric’s mood pick up, despite Leyla’s concerns he was being scammed. But later he made a huge gamble when he decided to invest some of Brenda’s cash as well. This will all end in tears, mark our words.

  • Has Tom left Emmerdale for good despite his escape failing? Here’s what happens next

    Has Tom left Emmerdale for good despite his escape failing? Here’s what happens next

    It all came crashing down for Tom King in tonight’s Emmerdale as he was captured while trying to flee the country. The walls were closing in and Tom knew the evidence was against him, so decided to leave – only for Belle and DS Foy to team up and bring him to justice – and hopefully, to jail.

    But is this the last we will see of Tom in Emmerdale now he is behind bars? He’s broken his bail, so we can’t see him getting it again any time soon seeing as he is a proven flight risk. So what now – will he just disappear off-screen?

    Not likely!

    What happened to Tom in Emmerdale tonight

    After being arrested and charged on Wednesday November 27, Tom arrived back from the police station tonight (Thursday November 28) shouting and raving about how he was innocent.

    But this time, uncle Jimmy did not believe him. He kicked Tom out and despite Tom attempting several forms of manipulation including framing Belle, emotional blackmail and finally rage, Jimmy stood firm.

    So Tom decided to resort to Plan B – escaping the country to Saudi Arabia with the help of his solicitor mate, Ollie. He asked for Amelia’s help in getting away, stole Kerry’s car and confidently drove off.

    However he made a huge mistake when he couldn’t help but stop to taunt Belle.

    Tom and Belle had a final showdown

    He brazenly admitted he was running away and laughed that she would never get justice. But Belle Dingle was too smart to let him manipulate her. As he commented she had “found her voice” she said she’d just “had enough”.

    He tried being aggressive, but she still didn’t give in. Eventually she walked away. He shouted he loved her, but she didn’t turn back.

    Tom then got himself a fake passport, headed to the ferry terminal and waited to board a vessel to Rotterdam. However what he didn’t know was that during their confrontation Belle had slipped her phone into his bag. She gave the details to the police who tracked the device and rushed to catch him.

    Tom’s smug smile as he thought he’d got away with it was soon wiped off his face when DS Foy arrived at the ferry port!

    Tom tried to run, he screamed, he fought, he kicked, but there was no escaping justice and he was arrested for breaking his bail and carted away.

    Has Tom left Emmerdale for good?

    Well, the short answer is no. But don’t worry, we don’t have to wait too long for the final chapter of this story.

    Earlier this month, Emmerdale confirmed a special hour-long episode to air in December. It will highlight the real-life voices of domestic abuse victims and survivors.

    And with the special episode, the stage will be set for Belle’s harrowing storyline to reach its conclusion.

    “When we first embarked on this journey we knew we wanted to show domestic abuse, coercive control and manipulation in all its guises,” said Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw.

    “We knew from the outset that Belle would need some sort of closure on Tom and we know our Emmerdale audience always look forward to our villains getting their comeuppance. We don’t want to spoil the outcome of this story and reveal what will happen to Tom, but needless to say, Belle’s going to be in a much better place by this Christmas.”

    Emmerdale has worked closely with New Beginnings Peer Support – a domestic abuse charity.

    “When Emmerdale explained they hoped to include the real life testimonies of domestic abuse victims and survivors within these scenes we knew it would be the truest way for them to authentically close this storyline,” explained Lindsay Oliver, the CEO of the charity. “We hope these final episodes will continue to raise awareness about domestic abuse, controlling relationships and the fact there is help out there.”

    When does Tom’s final episode air?

    There’s a few weeks to wait before we finally see the end of Tom King. Emmerdale has not confirmed an exact date. However, speculation suggests it will all conclude on Thursday December 19. And when it comes, it’s set to be brilliant.

  • Ella’s stalking intensifies and fans reckon she’s going to make them pay for lying to her

    Ella’s stalking intensifies and fans reckon she’s going to make them pay for lying to her

    Chas and Liam have pursued a relationship and are sneaking around behind Ella Forster’s back in Emmerdale.

    However, Ella’s certainly suspicious after catching the pair chatting together in the Woolpack last night (Wednesday, November 27).

    And, with Ella clearly being very obsessed with the Dales doctor, fans have become concerned that Ella may make a sinister move to get revenge on the couple following on from her split from Liam. Eek!

    Ella Forster’s obsession with Liam in Emmerdale

    Currently in the Dales, Liam and Chas are trying to keep their relationship a secret to cushion the blow for Ella a bit after her recent split from Liam.

    But, this hasn’t stopped the pair from confessing their love to each other, oh no it hasn’t.

    Ella smells a rat though, because she watches Liam’s every move and knows when something is off. Creepy.

    With Liam failing to take on a newly scheduled appointment at the surgery last night, Ella wondered where Liam was off to. Liam also told her that he’d be going on a home visit. Lies. All lies.

    Ella had no idea that Liam was actually with Chas (or maybe she had a very good idea but didn’t want to let on just yet!) Well, she worked out he was lying though after going to the extreme length of calling up Liam’s patient and realising he hadn’t just been to visit her after all.

    Things were super awkward when Ella spotted Liam and Chas talking in the pub. But, how long will it take her to rumble their relationship? Will she just accept that Liam’s moved on? We think not…

    Ella to get revenge on Liam and Chas?

    We all know that Ella is no saint. She has a rather dark past, and that’s on killing her childhood best friend out of jealousy.

    Now, we have a slight inkling that Ella might just be extremely jealous of Chas when she inevitably finds out about her dating Liam. She’s not one for sharing, that Ella.

    But, what happens when Ella gets jealous? Bad things happen. And, fans are now really worried that Ella may attempt to make Liam and Chas pay for their loved-up ways.

    One fan feared: “Something tells me Ella is going to go full psycho on Chas and Liam.”

    A second person added: “The psycho in Ella is coming out…”

    A third fan wondered: “Is Ella going to do another murder?” Chas and Liam, watch out!

  • Why are they still here?: 6 characters who should leave the village for pastures new

    Why are they still here?: 6 characters who should leave the village for pastures new

    In Emmerdale, there are a fair few characters that are sticking around in the village despite having hardly any ties.

    With Amelia Spencer soon to be leaving the soap, we’ve compiled a list of everyone who could do with starting afresh somewhere else.

    1. Jai

    Jai used to be at the centre of the village, running the sweet factory with Rishi. The Sharmas – Jai, Rishi, Nikhil and Priya used to be a key family in the soap but now they’ve all moved away or have died out.

    With Suni and Amit leaving the village earlier this year, Jai only really has Archie left now who he could easily take with him on his travels should he leave.

    Now that his marriage with Laurel has ended, what’s really keeping Jai around?

    2. Manpreet

    Don’t get us wrong, we do love Manpreet but she’s only really seen in the surgery these days. And, well, she’s not the villagers’ go-to GP either. Sadly, Dr Liam is always the one people call when in need of a check up.

    Manpreet doesn’t have any ties left to the village, but perhaps she’s sticking around so that one day… there just might… be a reason for her sister Meena to return. Wishful thinking?

    Emmerdale characters who should leave: 3. Jacob

    Jacob’s not really been seen much recently, focusing on his studies rather than being at the centre of the drama.

    However, with Leyla soon rumoured to be leaving the soap and with his dad David having already departed, it would make sense for Jacob to broaden his horizons and move somewhere else to pursue his dream medical career.

    4. Suzy

    Suzy looks like she could be single-handedly running Take A Vow now that reports of Leyla’s exit have circulated.

    But, other than her rarely seen relationship with Vanessa, is the village really the right place for Suzy? Could she expand her wedding business empire somewhere else? We’re just not really convinced she has much of a place in the village.

    Emmerdale's Ella serious in the pub
    Liam ended things with Ella (Credit: ITV)

    Emmerdale characters who should leave: 5. Ella

    Ella came into the village almost a year ago after befriending Mandy, but that friendship hardly gets any screen time.

    Other than being utterly obsessed with Liam who has now dumped her for Chas, Ella’s not really wanted by the other villagers and we’re struggling to see the point of her at the moment ourselves.

    The character has potential, but if we were in Ella’s shoes, we’d have been long gone.

    Nurse Wendy is dating Bob (Credit: ITV)
    Time to say goodbye? (Credit: ITV)

    6. Wendy

    Wendy’s got a grandson in the village, but what else has she got? If we’re honest, she’ll forever be associated with her very icky affair with Liam and we’re constantly reminded of this every time we seen her on our screens.

    Should Wendy just pack up her things and go? What’s stopping her?

  • As Tom’s comeuppance beckons, Jimmy and Amelia have some serious grovelling to do

    As Tom’s comeuppance beckons, Jimmy and Amelia have some serious grovelling to do

    Following Tom King’s arrest, Emmerdale fans have predicted Amelia and Jimmy will be grovelling to be granted forgiveness from Belle and their loved ones.

    Justice was finally served as Tom was charged for his abuse of Belle last night. Jimmy, who had also taken Tom’s side previously, witnessed him treating Amelia badly. This finally allowed them both to see the truth.

    Here’s all you need to know about Tom’s arrest in Emmerdale.

    Emmerdale: Tom finally arrested

    Tom was finally arrested in Emmerdale and Amelia finally saw his true colours in recent episodes. DS Foy arrived in the Dales to take Tom in for questioning and witnessed him forcefully marching Amelia out of the house.

    Jimmy was also a witness, finally allowing him to realise that Belle was telling the truth about her husband. The charges against Tom were also read out in the pub by DS Foy, allowing everyone, including Amelia, to hear the truth.

    Although we’ve not seen the last of Tom, as there’s no doubt he has further plans, it looks like justice is finally being served after months of Belle waiting.

    Grovelling time for Jimmy and Amelia

    Jimmy witnessed Tom dragging Amelia out of the house, before later hearing DS Foy reel off the charges against Tom at the station. Amelia and Belle heard the news in the pub. Now, Emmerdale fans have shared their relief at Amelia and Jimmy having finally seen Tom’s true colours, but many are wondering what the pair’s next steps will be.

    “Watching Jimmy’s face finally see Tom for the monster that he is,” one fan wrote on social media. A second added: “Tom dragging Amelia out of the house…and Jimmy witnesses it! Finally removed your rose-tinted glasses now, Jimmy. And Amelia come to think of it?!”

    Another Emmerdale fan predicted Amelia and Jimmy will be apologising to those around them, writing: “Time for Jimmy and Amelia to GROVEL and beg Belle for forgiveness,” and another added: “Amelia is as stupid as Jimmy.”

  • DS Foy must become a permanent character – and get with Ella, Emmerdale fans demand

    DS Foy must become a permanent character – and get with Ella, Emmerdale fans demand

    Emmerdale detective DS Foy has become our hero in recent weeks as he fought to bring Tom King to justice. And finally it looks like he’s done it. Phew!

    It was clear he believed Belle’s domestic abuse allegations from the start and he has fought her corner the whole way. Even as Tom tried to manipulate him, it became obvious that wasn’t going to work.

    All hail DS Foy!

    In fact, fans are so impressed with him they have demanded from the start he becomes a permanent character. And some are even coming up with romance storylines for him – with child killer, Ella Forster! A copper and a killer? That’s an interesting mix!

    Detective Foy in Emmerdale

    As soon as he heard rumours that Belle had been abused by Tom it was obvious DS Foy felt there was some truth in it. Last month he gently questioned Belle over her involvement in Tom’s axe attack and even though it was clear she was lying, he could see a frightened woman and didn’t probe too hard.

    After doing a deal with Belle that he wouldn’t tell the police the truth, Tom then told DS Foy he was mugged with a very elaborate story about the horrors he had been through. But at the same time, Belle had double-crossed him and handed herself into the cop shop. She’d dug up the axe and revealed herself to be the victim of domestic abuse.

    DS Foy arrested Tom for coercive and controlling behaviour. Although Tom insisted Belle was the abusive one and her mental health was the problem. But it was very clear to viewers DS Foy did not believe a word Tom was saying.

    As Tom continued to try and outwit the police, he attempted to destroy incriminating footage of him spying on Belle. But Foy and his team recovered it and announced on Wednesday (November 27) they had enough to charge Tom. At last!

    Fans love Foy!

    DS Foy was a big hit with fans last time round – and it’s fair to say he still is!

    “Please, Emmerdale, keep Detective Foy,” begged one fan on social media. Another agreed: “DS Foy needs to be a regular character!” Athird added: “Now, how can we get Foy written into every storyline forever?”

    Others speculated on a possible romantic connection if he does stick around.

    “Can we have Ds Foy as a love interest for someone?” asked one. Someone else said: “Whoever in the village gets to [bleep] DS Foy is a lucky [bleep]!!”

    A third suggested: “Det Ella on the case. Get it on with silver fox Det Foy!” referring to Ella’s ‘investigation’ into whether Liam is sleeping with Chas.

    A fourth said: “Make him a regular! Have him marry Leyla!” which might be a bit impossible, given she’s rumoured to be leaving…

  • Tom is as evil as his dad – a complete list of Carl King’s heinous crimes

    Tom is as evil as his dad – a complete list of Carl King’s heinous crimes

    It was almost like Carl King returned to Emmerdale over the last few days as his son, Tom King, and his unhinged behaviour continue to mirror that of his evil father.

    In fact, the scales have even fallen from devoted Uncle Jimmy’s eyes after Tom’s arrest. Jimmy calls him a ‘chip off the old block’ tonight and he’s sure got a point.

    So it’s a case of like father, like son, but which King is more evil? Let’s take a look at the complete list of Carl King‘s terrible crimes.

    Killer Carl King in Emmerdale

    Carl King was in Emmerdale for eight years between 2004-2012. He arrived in the village to spy for his family business King & Sons, snooping on Tate Haulage.

    He set his sights on Louise Appleton, asking her out on a date, but when his wife Coleen turned up, things got complicated. That put paid to that romance.

    And then things turned dark. It was not long after his arrival that he caused the death of local postman Paul Marsden. The pair were fixing a roof together and Paul started teasing Carl over his fear of heights. As they continued to mess around, Paul lost his footing and fell. Carl and his brothers covered up the death by moving the body so it looked like he had had an accident on his own roof, completely on his own.

    Cheating Carl

    Consumed by guilt, Carl ended up revealing what had happened to Chas Dingle. The pair started a relationship, but Carl’s wandering eye soon struck and he had a one-night stand with Chloe Atkinson. Chloe then became determined to split the couple up. She wrote poison-pen letters and Chas had soon had enough, ending things.

    Chloe moved in for the kill and Carl obliged, but soon got bored and wanted Chas back. She, however, left to join the army!

    So he turned his attentions to her cousin, Delilah Dingle. Although they grew close and did sleep together, his heart lay with Chas and he eventually wooed her back.

    They made a real go of it this time, but that was much to the disapproval of his dad, Tom King Snr. And that led to…

    Killer Carl King’s second victim in Emmerdale

    The King family were at war as Matthew and Sadie’s rival company took on King & Sons. Chas was passing information on the Kings to Jamie Hope, whose sister Dawn Woods had died thanks to the Kings’ battle. Furious Tom insisted Chas wasn’t good enough for Carl and then bribed her to end things.

    But Chas fought back and told Carl everything on Tom’s wedding day to Rosemary Sinclair. That same day, which also happened to be Christmas Day, Tom was murdered when he was hit over the head and pushed from his bedroom window. It was later revealed Carl had a confrontation with his father about Chas and hit him when Tom called Chas nasty names. Carl then pushed Tom away and he fell out of the window.

    In the midst of all this, Carl started dating DCI Grace Barraclough, who was investigating Tom’s murder! So that soon got complicated and Carl decided to confess, telling Grace everything. She took him to the police station, but was hit by a lorry as she was walking across the road. Carl then got away with murder – and things ended with Grace, pretty badly!

    Cheating Carl strikes again!

    Carl eventually moved on and married Lexi King although he only married her because she found out the truth about Tom’s murder. Things soon turned sour and Lexi left him. Carl got back with Chas but that wandering eye fell on Eve Jenson, with whom he started an affair.

    Chas found out about the affair and decided to expose Carl on her and Carl’s wedding day. She convinced him they were going to get wed (on Christmas Day again!), but secretly squirrelled all his money away and jilted him at the altar.

    The worst crime yet

    Chas began an affair with Cameron Murray who was engaged to her niece Debbie Dingle. Chas was also engaged to Dan Spencer. Carl found out about her affair and tried to blackmail her.

    Chas pretended that she was interested in Carl again but really she was just trying to make him take back his threats.

    It all came to a head on Emmerdale’s 40th anniversary in 2012. Carl turned really nasty and blackmailed Chas for the £30k she took from him. However the hate turned to obsession as Carl decided he’d stop at nothing to get Chas back.

    Chas tried to keep him sweet by pretending she would run away with him, but when he realised she had no intention doing so, Carl flipped. He revealed he had killed his father for her. Disgusted Chas tried to flee, but Carl grabbed her and forced himself on her, trying to rape her.

    Chas hit Carl on the head with a brick in self-defence. Believing she had killed him, she left him lying there. Chas even stood trial for his murder, but she was acquitted.

    Meanwhile, what actually happened was Cameron went back and delivered the final blow that killed Carl who screamed: “I’m indestructible” as Cameron smacked him over the head and Carl fell to the ground, dead.
