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.Â

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.”

Tom King’s reign of terror over Belle is coming to an end soon. For months fans of Emmerdale have watched as he abused his wife, angry that he got away with it for so long.
While Emmerdale bosses openly admitted they wanted the storyline to represent real life, and were going to make sure it was played out accurately, viewers couldn’t help but notice some plot holes – especially in last night’s episode of the soap.
During the episode (Tuesday November 26), Belle returned home, finally feeling like she was in a better place to tackle what’s to come.
But that didn’t last long as Tom snuck into her house whilst she was upstairs having a self-care day, and stole her top.
However, the fact he managed to even get into the house without anyone seeing is something Emmerdale fans don’t understand.
Here are some fresh plot holes from Emmerdale’s Tom King storyline, all from last night’s episode.

Emmerdale Tom plot holes 1. Belle left the door unlocked
Belle decided to stay at home, to ease herself back into village life. But after she made it clear to her family that she was still scared of Tom, fans are confused as to why she never locked the door.
Fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their confusion.
One wrote: “Surely if Belle was going to be home alone she would have locked her doors? She knows what he is capable of.”
Another added: “How come none of her family told her to lock the doors or stayed with her? Tom’s still around.”
“Belle is so worried about Tom that she didn’t lock her doors. No-one seems to lock their doors”, a third penned.
Invisible Tom is back, he can walk into any house in the village without anyone seeing him.#Emmerdale
Emmerdale village has a lot of residents, and it’s a fairly small area. Usually someone would be walking around outside. So, how exactly was Tom able to sneak into the Jacob’s Fold cottage without being seen?
The position of the cottage is also quite close to the shop and the mechanics – so was nobody at any of these places?
One fan wrote: “Again, nobody can see invisible Tom. He can walk right in without anyone noticing.”
Another penned: “Tom entered the house in broad daylight. He wasn’t seen by any of the nosey villagers who are usually hovering around outside. That doesn’t make sense.”
“Invisible Tom is back. He can walk into any house in the village without anyone seeing him”, a third fan commented.
3. Belle didn’t spot Tom
Belle came back downstairs to grab some of her clothes from her suitcase. But she failed to spot Tom who was standing beside the door, very close to her.
Fans don’t believe this made sense at all, as it would have been very easy to spot him.
One wrote: “How did Belle not see Tom? He is standing right there.”
Another joked: “I think Belle might need to go to Specsavers. How did she miss him?”

4. Amelia had no suspicions about the top
Tom’s level of creepy went up another scale last night. He stole Belle’s top and gave it to Amelia as a present. From the looks of it, he is trying to recreate Belle using Amelia.
But, Amelia had no queries about the top she received. With no tag, receipt or label, she just accepted her gift. But viewers agree this doesn’t make sense.
An Emmerdale viewer wrote: “How does Amelia not see the top wasn’t new? It had no tags on it. Does she think does he’s shopping for her at charity shops?”
“So Amelia just takes the top off Tom that is unwrapped with no bag or receipt. It most definitely doesn’t smell like a new top. This is really ridiculous now,” another annoyed fan posted.

Ruby tries to move forward with Steph
Ruby Fox-Miligan has had a dramatic time in the Dales lately. Her daughter Steph arrived and while Ruby and Caleb were hopeful this meant they could be a family again – Steph brought a guest.
Anthony, Ruby’s dad, has a very apparent bad history with his daughter. While Ruby insists it’s due to him trying to convince her to terminate her pregnancy, a lot of fans have speculated if it could be more sinister.Â
As Steph and Ruby reunited, a confrontation quickly took place leading Ruby to slap her daughter. Fans can add that to the list of mistakes she has made recently – including sleeping with Cain.
But tonight, Ruby begs Steph for another chance, still hopeful she can get her family together – away from Anthony.
However, will Steph agree? And will her relationship with her grandfather come in between them again?

Emmerdale tonight reunited Kim and Will at last – but it turns out he’s got himself into a mess with Peter, who has he been working with to bring Kim Tate down. Oops.
Meanwhile, Amelia fell back into Tom’s arms when he brought God into the equation. But Sam wasn’t having any of it and went straight to the police.
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday November 25.
Will and Kim reunited – but there was a twist in Emmerdale tonight
Ross and Will made a deal (Credit: ITV)
Will’s alive!
Ross burst into Kim’s and told her Will was dead. He even showed her photographic evidence. Ross claimed he had put Will in the back of the van and rolled it into the quarry.
Kim was devastated and aggressively threw him out. Lydia then arrived, but Kim just sent her home. And then Will walked in. A bit battered and bruised, but alive. Turned out Will and Ross made an arrangement to trick Kim into thinking he was dead.
Kim and Will finally got back together (Credit: ITV)
A much longed for reunion
Kim insisted she’d never meant to kill Will, she just wanted an end to all the arguing (you and us both). And before we knew it they were admitting they still loved each other and were kissing.
After an afternoon in bed, Kim called off the divorce and they agreed to start again. No more secrets. Which obviously means there are LOTS of secrets still to come.
Will has been working with Peter (Credit: ITV)
And then the twist…
Sure enough, Will went to meet none other than Kim’s former flame Peter! It turns out they have been working together to bring Kim down.
Will tried to call the deal off, but Peter threatened to tell Kim everything. His threats left Will in a very tricky position indeed. Will he bring Kim down? Or will he do the sensible thing, confess to Kim what he was plotting and team up with her to stop smarmy Peter.
Well, when did anyone in Emmerdale ever do the sensible thing?
Tom won Amelia over – but not everyone else in Emmerdale tonight
Amelia forgave Tom, but Nicola still didn’t want to know (Credit: ITV)
Tom’s prayers were answered
Nicola was not interested in Tom’s excuses over why Amelia had been upset the previous week. He then headed to the church supposedly to pray, but actually to manipulate Amelia.
He spun her some nonsense about how he often comes to talk to God in the church, which obviously won Amelia straight over. Tom then talked about them getting engaged one day – but he said they had to grow their love first. For goodness sake, when we’re done retching, we ask again: when will Amelia see sense?
Amelia then went to see Nicola and explained what had happened – or at least what Tom had manipulated her into believing had happened.

Sam went to the police
Amelia later suggested she and Tom read the Bible together as an evening’s entertainment. But Tom sweet talked her into planning their future instead – moving away together.
Sam overheard everything and insisted he would never let Esther go anywhere with an abuser. Sam said Belle was coming home tomorrow and was ready to take Tom on. But Tom insisted the police would never believe Belle over him.
Desperate to do something, Sam stormed off to the police station and cornered DS Foy, begging him to stop Tom. Foy assured him he understood it was frustrating and they were trying all they could to build a case. There’s not long to wait now, justice is about to be served.
Moira’s confidence has taken a knock (Credit: ITV)
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Chas and Liam had another clandestine meeting – out in the street. Chas then went to visit Moira who was worried about Cain and what she’d put him through. If only she knew. She didn’t want Cain to see her like this, but Chas urged her to be proud of her body and what it has done in fighting back.
Cain later went to see Moira and she didn’t want to see the kids. She told Cain she’d felt awful next to Ruby the previous day. Cain insisted she was beautiful inside and out and Ruby would never even come close. So how will he explain the fact he slept with Ruby while Moira was having brain surgery, then?!

It has been announced that Daisy Campbell will exit Emmerdale as Amelia Spencer at Christmas, but we don’t know how she will leave yet. Daisy has admitted in an interview that she was told the news earlier this year, but the choice to leave was not hers.
Speaking to The Mirror Daisy admitted: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first. Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting. Once they explained, I totally got it.
“Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”
Speculation began a while ago over how Amelia will leave and with the scenes airing very soon (yes, Christmas really is just around the corner!) her exit will be upon us before we know it. But are scenes in Monday November 25’s episode setting up her exit storyline?

Tom suggests moving away to Amelia in Emmerdale
As Amelia remains smitten with Tom and constantly looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles, Tom manages to charm her again tonight. He pretends he’s really into God too and they pray together. He then suggests he’d like to put a ring on it, before bringing up the idea of moving away from the village to start their life together.
Could this be her exit from the soap? Will Amelia leave to start again with Tom? Is that how he goes too?
After so much tragedy in her young life, will Amelia leave on a high and get her happy ending? Or will there be more trauma ahead? Here are all the theories on her exit.
Tom’s mask is starting to slip in front of Amelia (Credit: ITV)
1. Tom to kill Amelia?
Okay, so Daisy has ruled out Amelia dying with her comments to The Mirror: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.” However, could this just be a red herring? It wouldn’t be the first time the soap has tricked fans…
Things are getting so tense between her and Tom right now and next week will mark a turning point as Amelia starts to see his true colours. He lashes out at her during a bonfire night outing and it’s enough to make Amelia stop and think.
Plus, we’ve already had scenes of Amelia’s death when Belle imagined her different futures. They were particularly harrowing, but was this foreshadowing what’s to come?
Some fans certainly seem to think so with many commenting on social media: “Tom will do something to her.”
It would also leave Esther to be brought up by her grandparents, Sam and Lydia and we can think of worse things than them having a child to focus on.

2. Amelia to kill Tom?
In a twist, could the roles be reversed? Could Amelia be the one to lash out in self-defence and kill Tom? Belle has already attacked him with an axe, but he survived. He also survived an electrocution in Moira’s barn. Will Amelia deal the fatal blow to her abusive boyfriend when it gets too much?
And if she does, would that send her to prison? Or would she take Esther and go on the run to avoid jail?
“What if she kills Tom?” wrote one fan. Others agreed they would be happy with this outcome.

3. Amelia to leave Emmerdale with Tom to start a new life
We’re really not on board with this theory, but could Amelia fall so far under Tom’s spell they up and leave Emmerdale together?
Tom has now suggested as such, much to the disgust of Sam Dingle, who has begged the police to stop them. The cops aren’t able to do anything right now as they don’t have enough evidence to act.
So will Amelia be whisked off to a life of fear and terror? If Tom gets his way, she will do.
4. Off to uni
Some fans have speculated that university is in Amelia’s future. She always was a brain box and was expected to achieve great things. But having Esther caused trouble with her schoolwork and she’s struggled to get back on track, working in Mandy’s salon to make ends meet.
But could all the nasty Tom business cause her to have an epiphany and realise that she does want to make the best of herself? Will she leave to get a better education and put her past behind her?

5. Amelia to leave Emmerdale and live with her dad
With the man she thinks of as her dad, Dan, in prison could she leave to live with her uncle-who-is-actually-her-biological-dad, Daz. He’s her only remaining family member, other than her brother Sean, so if she realises what a mess she’s made in the village and needs to cut ties, Daz is the only real person she could turn to.

During Friday’s episode, Tom snapped at Amelia. He accused her of acting like a “hooker” and told her to have some respect for herself.

3. Kim is impatient
Last week, Kim ordered Ross Barton to run her estranged husband Will out of the village. But it went wrong and a fight broke out between Ross and Will.
Will ended up stumbling and hit his head on a rock, leaving Ross to wonder if he had killed Will.
Tonight, Kim is feeling impatient as she waits for news on Will. Has Will survived? And what will he do if he has?

Nicola is convinced that the Dingles are right about Tom, and the rest of the village have turned against him, meaning Tom’s only allies are girlfriend Amelia and uncle Jimmy.
But even those loyal supporters are about to wonder if Tom’s really as nice as he’s pretending to be!
We sat down for a chat with Emmerdale star James, who plays evil Tom, to find out what happens as his alter ego’s nice-guy persona begins to crumble.

Persuading Nicola
With Nicola not budging, Tom’s determined to make her see that he’s an ‘innocent victim’ despite him being guilty of everything Belle’s accused him of!
So how is he going to talk Nicola into believing him? Well, he ropes Amelia in to help him!
“I think Tom is definitely pressured when he is trying to convince Nicola that he is genuine about everything that he is saying,” James tells us.
” I think in a weird way Tom does thrive under pressure and he enjoys it – as he gets an energy from it and feels quite invigorated and proud of himself when he does succeed in talking himself out of these scenarios.”
Nicola isn’t convinced! (Credit: ITV)
Tom plans to move away in Emmerdale
But despite Tom loving the drama, things don’t go well and Nicola is far too savvy to be convinced by his attempt to win her over with Amelia’s help.
And we know Tom doesn’t like it when things don’t go his way! So how does he react?
“I think Tom is surprised at first that he hasn’t managed to win her over because he has succeeded every other time and with every other person he has tried to convince before,” reveals James. “But I think he’s very quick to then move onto the next thing. Thinking how do I move on to a scenario where I am going to win?”
Tom’s next move is to suggest to Amelia they they move away together. What’s the plan there?
“It’s partly because he is hated in the village!” admits James. “But also it’s like when he went away to Wales with Belle, it was a way for him to fully control her and to have her to himself. Essentially the less people around that Amelia knows, the more she is going to have to rely on him and I think he quite enjoys that.”

Tom messes with Belle’s head in Emmerdale
With the walls closing in, Tom steps up his scheme to mess with Belle’s head. He steals one of her tops and gives it to Amelia. Creepy!
“It’s all about getting her in the worst state possible so he can selfishly benefit,” explains James. “He knows he’s grinding her down when he knows she’s seen Amelia in her clothes.”
And that’s when things fall apart! Belle tells Amelia that the jumper is hers, and Amelia asks questions.
“Tom is really cross,” says James. “He berates Amelia immediately. His mask has slipped! He drags Amelia out into the street.”

The mask is slipping!
But Jimmy’s there and he sees what Tom’s up to! And with perfect timing, it’s when the police arrive, too, to question Tom.
He’s taken in for questioning by DS Foy. How does that go?
“He tries to keep his cards close to his chest because at the end of the day unless it’s actual evidence they have, Tom is going to deny it – as it’s in his interest to do that. In the interview room he attempts to manipulate the situation and tries to show to DS Foy he is actually the victim. Tom is doing that as much as possible to try and look innocent.”
And meanwhile, Jimmy is reeling from seeing Tom dragging Amelia out of the house. So will he realise Tom’s been lying?
“It’s only a matter of time,” says James. “I think Jimmy will have to start reading the writing on the wall at some point. Of course his uncle Jimmy doesn’t want to believe that Tom is a bad man but eventually Tom fears Jimmy will realise the truth.”
But despite all this, Tom still thinks he can get away with it even though the police are onto him!
“He has a sort of God complex,” says James. “Tom is cunning, conniving and clever – and I would kind of compare him to Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. He’s good at manipulation. He’s good at turning people on each other for his own benefit. He enjoys playing people and playing scenarios. He has no empathy or morality.”
Tom is still playing the victim (Credit: ITV)
Tom plays the victim in Emmerdale
“There are things that have happened like the axe going in Tom’s back and of course he has eye witnesses of people who saw Belle pushing him over,” James reveals. “He thinks he’s got a lot of ammunition against her. He wants to win and believes he still can.”
“I feel very proud of the people I’ve worked with,” says James. “The scenes with the burning of the guy – and then squaring up to the Dingles was a lot of fun. It’s been a lot of fun working with Daisy (Campbell, who plays Amelia). It has been an amazing storyline, it has been intense – a real rollercoaster of emotions but it’s been amazing. I’m really proud of what we have done. Eden Taylor-Draper (AKA Belle) has been totally amazing. There is more to come!

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week time seems to be running out for Tom as he is once again taken in for questioning. Could this be the beginning of the end?
Over the last few weeks Tom has been trying his best to act innocent, but even Amelia began to question him after his outburst on bonfire night. However he was able to sweet talk her around once again. But when he aggressively removes her from the house next week, could that be all she needs to finally see his true colours?

Emmerdale spoilers: Tom and Amelia plan to move away
When Jimmy once again takes Tom’s side, Nicola makes it clear her mind will not be changed. But Tom takes this as a challenge.
To get back in Amelia’s good books, he pretends to pray, leading to them teaming up to change Nicola’s mind.
But their attempt fails, as Nicola seems to get even more annoyed whenever they try to get her on Team Tom. That’s when Tom decides to see how Amelia would feel about moving away together, but Sam overhears and heads straight to the police station.
At the station he is given more bad news, as it seems the police aren’t any closer to charging Tom. The next day Belle is also angry at the lack of progress, and decides to have a day spent relaxing.
Tom’s behaviour continues to be creepy (Credit: ITV)
Other villagers witness Tom’s outburst
That doesn’t last too long as while she’s upstairs in a bath, Tom lets himself in and steals a top from her suitcase. Belle quickly realises the top is missing, and after another run-in with her ex, she is left visibly upset.
Belle later notices Amelia is wearing her top, but after Amelia and Leyla are shocked at the accusation, she runs away in a panic.
Tom’s true colours begin to show once again to Amelia, as he lashes out at her for Belle’s accusation. Things get even worse when he physically forces her out of the house.
Thankfully, his outburst is witnessed by both Jimmy and DS Foy, who is there to bring him back to the station for more questions.
While Tom tries to use his usual tactics of talking himself out of situations, it doesn’t seem this will be that easy.
After seeing his violent side, will Jimmy finally turn his back on his nephew and restore peace with his family? And what exactly are the police questioning Tom about?

Fans of Emmerdale have theorised that Amelia will be the one to bring Tom’s reign of terror to an end – by killing him. Tom and Amelia’s relationship remains strong, in spite of her witnessing his dark side for the first time last week.
This came amid an explosive bonfire night for the pair, in which Tom snapped after supposedly being victimised by the Dingles yet again. Realising that they had made a version of him to burn on the village fire, Tom exploded – blaming Amelia for dragging him there in the first place.
Amelia was left shocked by what she saw in Tom, and immediately began having second thoughts about her man. However, these doubts were short-lived – as a visit from uncle Jimmy soon brought her back around. And, as Tom made his excuses, it seemed as though Amelia was firmly back where he wants her.
But for how long?

Emmerdale fans predict that Amelia will kill Tom
Fans of the soap have predicted that the worm will eventually turn, and Amelia will kill Tom. Theorising how the story might end, fans took to a Reddit thread to share their theories. And one viewer wondered whether Amelia might be the one who kills Tom – in defence of herself or Belle.
“Tom will either attack either Belle and Amelia. Amelia will strike back and kill Tom. Afterwards, Amelia will be convicted and sent to prison. Two people gone in one incident. It ends Tom and Belle’s story, and gets rid of Amelia while technically leaving the door open.”
“Also leaving Esther for Sam and Lydia to raise,” pointed out another fan in the comments below.
However, others aren’t convinced that this would be the best end to Tom’s story – which many feel has already been reduced to a farce.
“That wouldn’t be a good message to end this story on. Too much of it has already been sensationalised,” pointed out one fan.
“I do not even care how they end this exhausting (and exhausted) storyline at this point, as long as the show does finally end it,” said another.
