Emmerdale spoilers: Tom loses his temper again
Viewers know that last night Tom snuck in to Belle’s house and stole her top – which he later gave to Amelia.
Tonight, Belle sees her wearing it and confronts her. However, both Amelia and Leyla are taken aback by Belle’s sudden outburst, causing the Dingle to quickly leave in a state.
When Amelia gets home she is greeted by an angry Tom. He loses his temper at her because of Belle’s accusations.
As he physically forces her out of the house, his actions are spotted by Jimmy and DS Foy – who is there to take him in for more questioning.
Could this finally be the downfall that everyone has been waiting for?

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 saw Tom get up to his old tricks again by sneaking into Charity’s home while Belle was bathing and stealing her clothes. In full-on creep mode, he then re-gifted Belle’s top to Amelia, growing enamored by how much she now resembled his ex wife. Ew.
Meanwhile, a loved-up Liam and Chas attracted Ella’s suspicions after she caught them sharing a charged moment outside the Woolpack bathrooms. Is Ella onto Liam and Chas?
And, as Will and Kim settled their differences, Peter continued to scheme. What does he have planned?
Here’s what happened on Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday November 26.

Belle’s back… and Tom swung by for a visit in Emmerdale tonight
Belle came home, and Lydia, Charity and Vinny were excited to have her back again. Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t great, as there’d been a massive leak, and Belle’s bedroom was flooded.
Still, Belle was in good spirits, saying how she felt much better now. Her mood soon soured when the Dingles filled her in on the lack of progress in the case. She was dismayed to learn everything which had gone on while she was away – Tom getting his job back, moving in with Nicola and getting away with smashing up the tablet. Not to mention Cain beating up Jimmy (still not the silliest thing Cain did last week).
Meanwhile, Tom was irritated by Amelia as he tapped away on his laptop. He attempted to balance his irritation with his needing her to put on his façade – and was stunned to learn that Belle had come home today.
As Belle decided to unwind with a bath, Tom let himself into the house. Going unnoticed as she padded around in a bathrobe, creepy Tom stole a top from her open suitcase and crept back out again.
Approaching her later in the village, he continued to taunt his ex – telling her how she’d be thrown in a padded cell for axing him in the back.
Meeting up with Amelia afterwards, he handed over Belle’s top as a gift. He then told her how her new look reminded him… how gorgeous she is. Pulling her in for a hug, he then gave Belle’s top a long, deep, deeply longing (and deeply creepy) sniff.
Will had a change of hear (Credit: ITV)
Kim and Will are back on track… but Peter is still plotting
Will and Kim continued to mend bridges in their marriage, and were more loved-up than ever. In The Hide, Kim threatened Ross, telling him how she’d make his life a living hell if he tried any more funny tricks.
Over coffee, she told Dawn how she’d taken Will back, giving her some advice on mending her relationship with Billy. “I’ve only ever loved two men in my life,” she said… and Will, somehow, is one of them. No, we don’t see it either.
As Will and Dawn talked at the haulage yard, she pulled on his heartstrings – telling her what Kim had said. In a busy day for Will, he then got a visit from Ross, who told him he needed to get his head checked out. And not just because he’d just been whacked over it with a rock (or, more accurately, whacked a rock with his head.)
Back at home, Kim got Will to call his solicitor to cancel the divorce and send back the letter. But who’s playing games with whom?
With Kim out on business, another visitor popped by to see Will – Peter, who wasn’t happy to learn that Will was reneging on their deal. It was then Peter’s turn to make a furtive phone call, informing a mystery somebody that “operation destroy Kim is firmly back on track.”
Uh-oh.

Elsewhere on Emmerdale tonight… Liam and Chas made Ella suspicious
Things were tense at work between Ella and Liam. Manpreet was appalled to hear that she was planning on leaving the village. Chas felt guilty as she learned that Ella was planning on heading off to Leeds. Meanwhile, Manpreet came up with a plan of her own.
In the back room, she told Liam how she wanted to cool down their relationship. Liam was a bit more reluctant – and professed his love to her.
He was left disappointed when Manpreet told him that she and Ella would be moving in together – meaning that his ex would be sticking around for a while longer.
Outside the toilets, Chas returned his declaration of love. Ella then burst in, interrupting their tender moment. While the pair made their rubbish excuses, Ella was left clearly unconvinced.
Has she figured out what’s been going on between Liam and Chas?

What sinister plan does he have in store for Belle now?
Elsewhere, Ella grows suspicious after catching Liam and Chas during a heated conversation. Is she onto their clandestine relationship?

2. Ella smells a rat

A new dramatic Emmerdale trailer has dropped and it teases Tom King’s demise – but it’s safe to say, Tom doesn’t plan on going down without a fight.
Fans have rejoiced upon seeing the new trailer, which shows the walls closing in on Tom King at long last. But it’s not over just yet as Tom doesn’t plan on going quietly.
Here’s what the trailer tells us about Tom’s final chapter.
Amelia has stuck by Tom (Credit: ITV)
Tom and Amelia in Emmerdale
Following his prolonged abuse of Belle in Emmerdale, Tom has embarked on a relationship with Amelia Spencer – perhaps because she is one of few residents in the village gullible enough to believe his lies.
After Belle revealed the extent of her husband’s abuse, the Dingles and other villagers closed ranks around her, but Amelia continues to defend Tom despite being on the receiving end of his cruel tongue herself.
On bonfire night, after seeing the Guy was dressed like him, Tom took out his anger on Amelia. Tom accused her of acting like a stray dog and called her pathetic, but she still forgave him.
Last week, Tom went even further and told Amelia she was acting like a hooker. However, the trailer reveals that Tom will need Amelia on side if he is to win in court against Belle.

New Emmerdale trailer
The new trailer shows Tom breaking into Jacob’s Fold and spying on Belle as Charity’s voice reassures Belle that Tom’s bail conditions mean he can’t go near her.
Tom is then shown telling Sam the police will believe his word over Belle’s because “all they have to do is ask Amelia how I treat her, which is like the perfect gentleman.”
However, the trailer quickly shows a concerned looking Amelia, while another shot shows Tom pulling Amelia out of the house while she shouts “you’re hurting me”.
More worryingly, Tom is shown pushing Belle against a car as he shouts at her: “You always have to take things too far.” Meanwhile, a worried Cain and Charity are shown in a car rushing to the rescue. With the walls closing in, what will Tom do?
Fans hope Belle will soon get justice (Credit: ITV)
Fans rejoice
On Emmerdale’s Instagram page, fans were happy to see the end is nigh for Tom. One viewer wrote: “Yes yes yes. I can’t wait for Tom to get caught,” while another added: “Please let Tom finally be caught! Belle deserves justice. I think Amelia is starting to see who he really is. The sooner Tom goes, the better.”
A third fan said Tom’s downfall “can’t come soon enough,” with a fourth writing: “not before time.”
Others fans are eager for Tom to get his comeuppance and don’t want to see him die. One viewer said: “Just let Tom be arrested, Belle gets her say, then everyone believes her, Belle gets Piper back.”
Another fan was more extreme in their view, writing: “I swear if the writers kill him off and he doesn’t get caught, I will stop watching.”
Whatever the soap has planned, things don’t look good for Tom.

The Dingles have been at the heart of some of Emmerdale‘s biggest storylines for three decades.
Whether it’s babies, weddings, affairs, scams, shocks and even sieges, the Dingles have been involved.
The Dingles and Emmerdale are so intertwined that it’s hard to think of a favourite storyline from the last 30 years that they weren’t part of.
Until now.
Everyone hates Cain and Ruby, even Cain and Ruby (Credit: ITV/YouTube)
Are the Dingles broken?
Because though the Dingles are still part of the show’s biggest storylines currently, the fans aren’t liking it. Not one bit.
In fact, many Emmerdale fans have taken to social media to accuse the soap’s bosses of ruining the whole family.
What is it that’s got the viewers’ backs up? And what needs to change? Well, where do we start?!
You should feel guilty, Cain (Credit: ITV)
Cain and Ruby destroy the Dingles
Of course there was this week’s shock twist when Cain slept with his sister-in-law Ruby while his wife Moira was having a life-saving brain tumour operation.
The fans didn’t like that one bit (nor did we!).
Cain , Ruby? you’re expecting too much of your loyal viewers.
Belle’s ordeal is coming to an end but the fans don’t like the way the story has gone (Credit: ITV)
Ruining the whole family
Once the Cain and Ruby storyline hit, it was as though that had been the final straw for those loyal viewers. Because suddenly, everyone was complaining about the Dingles!
“Do the writers just hate the Dingles now?” asked one disgruntled viewer.
“They messed up the Belle storyline, now this,” complained another.
Do the writers just hate The Dingles now, how they handled Belle’s DV storyline, having Aaron be with his ex-husbands long lost half brother, sending Seb to live with someone else and now Cain betraying Moira with Ruby??? #Emmerdale
I dont get this at all. All the character building with Cain, especially this year, to then do this? They messed up the Belle storyline, now this. Absolute bs#emmerdale
Belle reported Tom – and herself – to the police but was that a twist too far? (Credit: ITV)
Belle and Tom needs to finish
While Belle’s domestic abuse storyline started well, with actors Eden Taylor Draper and James Chase being applauded for their acting, the interest in Belle’s ordeal has begun to drop off.
Fans didn’t like Belle being the one to lash out when she hit Tom with the axe. They’re fed up with Amelia simpering over Tom, with Tom’s unrepentant swagger around the village, and frankly they want to see the manipulative abuser behind bars already.
The perfect couple or uncomfortable viewing? (Credit: ITV)
Uncomfortable viewing?
Viewers, who were devoted to Aaron and Robert as a couple, aren’t impressed with Aaron starting a romance with John – Robert’s long-lost half-brother.
“It’s just uncomfortable,” one fan shuddered.
If John was not Robert’s brother, I wouldn’t mind this relationship, I think he could be good for Aaron. But for me, it’s just uncomfortable it’s clear Aaron still loves Robert.#Emmerdale
@emmerdale Tom/Belle storyline finishing, no storylines happening with anyone else (get writing) but, when this happens you always pick Cain and Moria they’re well suited and we all love them together, we know this will come out it always does, why them we don’t like this story. https://t.co/QE3o17TnPd
Not a lot of love for Mack and Charity. They don’t even have a name. Marity? Chack? See it doesn’t work (Credit: ITV)
No love for Mack and Charity!
Fans also hate Charity and Mack together, with a LOT of viewers wishing they’d been the relationship chosen to be put under stress rather than the fan fave Coira!
“You destroy one of the best partnerships but yet Mack and Charity…are still together,” one fan pointed out.
Literally emmerdale…you will happily possibly destroy one of the best partnerships but yet Mack and charity & Suzy & Vanessa are still together 🙃
Tina’s back! And she’s Vinny’s real mum! And it’s all fine now! (Credit: ITV)
Tina’s a disaster for the Dingles
And there’s more!
Viewers were also unimpressed with the return of Tina Dingle. And that was before she was revealed to be Vinny’s real mum in a twist that we still don’t completely understand.
But while they weren’t loving the storyline, they also weren’t loving the fact that it was done and dusted in a couple of episodes
i’m really glad we had the twist that tina is vinny’s mother, i bet it’s going to give us months of stor- oh it’s already been resolved and vinny loves mandy as his mother #emmerdalepic.twitter.com/xPpXkuONtR
Tina’s gone – and perhaps, for the sake of the Dingles, she should stay gone!
What next for the Dingles?
With things looking bleak for just about every Dingle, it’s hard to know what can be done to make things better. Like all fans, we love to look back on the good old days and think fondly of Robron, or Vanity. We go misty eyed over the glory days of Emmerdale, like last month before the whole Vinny fiasco, or last week before Cain had slept with Ruby.
Hopefully, this is just a bad patch for the Dingles and they’ll be back on top of their game soon and for another 30 years!

Emmerdale’s Tom King could be set to die in a huge Christmas whodunnit storyline, according to a new fan theory.
It’s been a year since Tom started his horrible abuse towards Belle Dingle. At the very start of their relationship things appeared to be going well. But slowly Tom began switch, becoming more and more evil as the episodes went on.
Eventually it turned into a full abusive relationship – both emotionally and physically. Viewers have been deeply disturbed by some of the twists and turns in the storyline so far. But could the biggest plot twist be right around the corner?
As fans know Emmerdale’s Tom’s time is running out, as it’s been confirmed that the end is in sight. While many hope that ending is Belle getting the justice she deserves, could it actually be Tom’s death?
A new fan theory on Reddit appears to suggest that a huge murder whodunnit is just around the corner. And they have the clues to back them up.
Belle’s ordeal is coming to an end (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale’s Tom King murdered Christmas?
The first user to put the theory forward wrote: “They’re setting Tom up to be killed at Christmas. I’m calling it. A tired old soap plot line but you can see it coming. The way he’s in people’s faces – like Cain and Paddy. He’s going around the entire village giving everyone a reason to kill him.”
The fan even gave suggestions on the suspects and how it could be revealed to the audience: “There will be tonnes of episodes showing who did what from their perspective. It will end up being Amelia that kills him. Or someone totally random like Claudette.”
While killing the villain in a soap mystery is a storyline that has happened countless times, even recently in their ITV rival soap, Coronation Street, many hoped Tom would face the justice Belle deserved.
One fan admitted they hope this isn’t what the writers are lining up. They even explained they want Piper the dog to come back, which will help prove Belle’s case.

Fans predict Tom’s ending
“I personally would enjoy a scenario where his lies and misdeeds are exposed, culminating in Piper returning. Then he goes to prison. It would be a far more satisfying outcome.”
Another agreed, adding they think it will take centre stage on Christmas Day. “I think it will happen on Christmas Day. It will be similar to Joel in Corrie. So similar that Belle will be the killer.”
While a third fan agreed they think he will die, they don’t think it will be a murder.
“Everything will come out about him. But rather than being killed by someone, he will die accidentally. Then none of the characters are trapped in a murder storyline, and Belle and us viewers get to move on from Tom.”
Well, Christmas Day isn’t too far away. So will Tom face justice in the way Belle deserves? Or is there about to be another murderer in the Dales?
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.
Tom ropes Amelia into trying to persuade Nicola she’s wrong (Credit: ITV)
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.”
Tom’s mask is slipping (Credit: ITV)
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?

The Dingles have been part of the Emmerdale furniture for 30 years and are one of TV’s most iconic families. But it’s fair to say, they’re not the best behaved bunch, with many serving time in prison.
Following on from Tom King‘s snide comment that prison is a ‘rite of passage for the Dingle men,’ we take a look back at all the Dingles who have spent time behind bars.
Cain has turned his life around (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale Dingles in prison: Cain Dingle
Resident bad boy Cain has spent less time in jail than he perhaps should have.
However, he has served jail time. Most recently, he spent time behind bars for a crime he didn’t even commit. After son Kyle shot Al Chapman, Cain decided to take the rapt.
Cain admitted that the thought of doing 20 years in prison was killing him. Fortunately, Kyle decided to come clean and all charges were eventually dropped.
Sam spent time behind bars (Credit: ITV)
Sam Dingle
When he arrived in the Dales, Sam Dingle had just been released from a young offenders institute. He obviously hadn’t learnt his lesson though as he continued to get involved in his family’s dodgy schemes.
One such scheme saw him take part in an armed robbery with his uncle Albert in 1998. They were caught and served time in prison. Sam was released after two years.
However, that wasn’t the only time he spent time in jail. He served another short stint behind bars for accidentally knocking over Edna Birch in 2004.
She has also served time (Credit: ITV)
Charity Dingle
Charity has been in prison on more than one occasion. In 2004, she was sentenced to life in prison after Zoe Tate testified in court that Charity had killed Chris Tate.
The truth was that Chris had ended his own life. After Charity gave birth to Chris’s baby while behind bars, Zoe struck a deal with her – she wanted custody of Noah in return for handing the police evidence that Chris ended his own life.
Charity was acquitted and released from jail and was eventually reunited with her son.
In 2015, to fit in with Emma Atkins’ maternity leave, Charity was sent to prison for two years for perverting the course of justice. She was released just over a year later.

Emmerdale Dingles in prison: Marlon Dingle
In 2020, poor Marlon was arrested and charged for the murder of Graham Foster.
Eventually, Marlon was made a free man as the truth came out about who really killed Graham – Pierce Harris.
Lisa Dingle
One Dingle you wouldn’t expect to have served time in prison is devoted mum and wife Lisa.
But back in 2010 she was arrested for punching a policeman and was sentenced to three months imprisonment.

Belle Dingle sent to prison
Zak and Lisa’s daughter Belle famously ended up behind bars after accidentally killing her best friend, Gemma Andrews.
Belle and Gemma had been involved in an argument over a boy they both liked. After Gemma slapped Belle, Belle retaliated by pushing Gemma to the ground. Gemma hit her head on a rock and later died from the injuries.
Belle was remorseful for her actions and won an appeal reducing her sentence from three years to just one.
Aaron served his time (Credit: ITV)
Emmerdale Dingles in prison: Aaron Dingle
Another member of the Dingle family who has often flirted on the wrong side of the law is Aaron. He was eventually sentenced to 1 year in prison in 2017 for the brutal attack on Kasim Sabet.
He struggled behind bars and one particular scene where Aaron faced homophobia from fellow inmates sparked hundreds of complaints from viewers.
Aaron was released after just a few months but he struggled with his demons following the violent and psychological abuse he suffered while inside.
Noah was sent to prison for stalking (Credit: ITV)
Noah Dingle
Back in 2022, Noah was sentenced to three months in jail for stalking and spying on ex-girlfriend Chloe Harris.
Noah installed a tracker onto Chloe’s phone, installed microphones in her house and used a drone to spy on her while she was sleeping.
He served around half his time before being released for good behaviour. Upon his release, he shunned his mum Charity due to her being the one to report him to the police – which is usually a big Dingle no no.
Samson made the mistake of teaming up with local thug Josh Cope. The pair of them carried out a robbery at The Hide. Samson ended up being accidentally stabbed in the scuffle, but lied that waiter Matty Barton had done it on purpose.
Matty was subsequently jailed for the crime, before Samson eventually came clean and faced the music.

Other Dingles who have misbehaved
Debbie Dingle has come close to jail on numerous occasions. She was originally arrested over the murder of Shane Doyle, before Jasmine Thomas handed herself in. In 2018, Debbie was arrested again for her part in the acid attack that scarred Ross Barton, but she was found not guilty in court.
Earlier this year, Tina Dingle returned to the Dales for the first time in nearly 30 years. It was soon revealed that she was wearing an ankle tag, meaning she’d recently been released from prison. Though it’s unknown for what.
Back in the 1970s, Cain, Caleb and Chas’s mum Faith Dingle served a short stint behind bars and actually gave birth to son Caleb while in prison.

Denise Welch to join Emmerdale
Loose Women panellist Denise Welch is no stranger to the world of soap. She has appeared in most of them in fact! Denise played Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street and Trish Minniver in Hollyoaks. She also had a guest stint in EastEnders as Alison Slater, as well as playing French teacher Steph Haydock in Waterloo Road.
It’s now been revealed that she’ll be appearing in Emmerdale. Speaking on Loose Women about the role, Denise said: “It’s a one-off one hour special and it’s the first time Emmerdale have ever done it. And for those of you who are fans of Emmerdale, there is a very powerful year-long story of domestic abuse. Which of course, appealed to me when I knew I’d be part of it because of [Loose Women’s domestic abuse campaign] Facing It Together, and this is a culmination of that story.
“So the episode takes place exclusively between the court and the jury and I am one of the head’s of the jury called Heidi.”
The special hour-long episode will highlight the real-life voices of domestic abuse victims and survivors. It will also feature Casualty star Charles Dale and Jack Ellis, who played Jim Fenner in Bad Girls. But it’s Denise’s casting that has prompted the strongest reaction.

Fan reaction
Taking to the Emmerdale Insider Facebook page, fans of the show were quick to share their thoughts. And most expressed disappointment at the news. They accused the soap of “scraping the barrel”.
“What the hell do they want her in it for?” asked one fan. Another added: “Her voice is worse than Mandy’s.”
A third viewer wrote: “Hope not, she spoils everything she goes in.” A fourth echoed the sentiment and wrote: “She will spoil Emmerdale.”
Other fans threatened to stop watching the soap, with one saying: “Don’t make me stop watching something I have watched forever.” Others were straight to the point, simply writing, “Can’t stand her.”
