    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom terrorised Belle and Ella smelled a rat

    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.

    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 happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia forgave Tom and Kim forgave Will – but his accomplice was not happy

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia forgave Tom and Kim forgave Will – but his accomplice was not happy

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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?!

  • Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    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.

    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.

  • Emmerdale releases dramatic trailer for Tom’s demise and fans couldn’t be happier – but it’s not over yet

    Emmerdale releases dramatic trailer for Tom’s demise and fans couldn’t be happier – but it’s not over yet

    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 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.

  • Dingles destroyed? All the storylines that need changing in order to save the iconic family

    Dingles destroyed? All the storylines that need changing in order to save the iconic family

    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.

    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?!

    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!).

    “You’re expecting too much of your loyal viewers,” one fan grumbled while another simply said: “We don’t like this story.”

    Can the soap bring the Dingles back from this? Well, they could make Cain and Ruby sleeping together all a dream

    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.

    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.

    Fortunately, justice is just around the corner for Tom. But is it too late for fans?

    And that’s not the half of it!

    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.

    Mack and Charity

    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.

    Is it time to just split Mack and Charity up and get Vanity back together?

    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

    Though one fan possibly spoke for all of us when they wrote: “Glad that’s over.”

    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!

  • Fans slam plot holes as Tom swindles his way back to work

    Fans slam plot holes as Tom swindles his way back to work

    Emmerdale fans were left fuming as Tom King managed to swindle his way back into work. Tom had been on suspension after Belle’s allegations against him became public knowledge – with bosses Paddy, Vanessa and Rhona believing her without hesitation.

    However, Tom wouldn’t take losing his job lying down – first threatening to sue for unfair dismissal, and then threatening Paddy.  Last Friday’s episode saw Tom tell Paddy that he’d air all the vets’ dirty laundry if he didn’t get his job back.

    Chief among his employers’ supposed crimes was their not charging the Dingles for their bills. This, Tom felt would surely destroy the business if people found out. And it seems Paddy agreed, as Tom was back to work at the surgery this week.

    In last night’s episode (airing Thursday, November 22), Tom clashed with Vanessa, who was not best pleased to be working with an abuser again.

    Emmerdale fans confused as Tom muscles back into work

    As these scenes aired, fans were left wondering how Tom managed to get his job back in the first place. And several pointed out that, actually, that’s not how the law works.

    “I wish the writers understood employment law. The vet can get rid of Tom for no reason, so long as it’s not for a protected characteristic (i.e his gender, sexuality, ethnicity etc) if he’s been there under two years. There is no reason they have to put up with him,” one fan pointed out on Reddit.

    “That’s not fraud. Paddy is a co-owner. He can charge what he wants. All the more reason to tell Tom to [bleep] off,” another fan said, pointing out a flaw in Tom’s blackmail of Paddy.

    “Even if they needed a reason [to fire Tom] they can easily just go ‘we’re worried about our finances so we let go Tom and Ella’,” a third viewer suggested.

    “His intimidating behaviour alone should be enough to get rid of him,” said a fourth.

  • Tom to die in Christmas whodunnit? Emmerdale fans now convinced they’ve spotted all the clues he’s going to be murdered

    Tom to die in Christmas whodunnit? Emmerdale fans now convinced they’ve spotted all the clues he’s going to be murdered

    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.

    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?

  • Fans baffled by huge Tom King U-turn – and honestly, we are too

    Fans baffled by huge Tom King U-turn – and honestly, we are too

    During Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, we were all baffled when Tom King appeared in his vets overalls.

    Having previously been suspended from work, it seems a massive U-turn has taken place as Tom is back in his old job – and fans can’t believe it.

    Just why did Tom lose his job and how has he got it back?

    Tom suspended from the vets

    Back in September, following Belle’s allegations of abuse, Vanessa and Rhona chose to sack Tom from the vets surgery.

    The allegations are true of course, but Tom continues to insist he is innocent. Though the number of people who believe in him is getting smaller by the day.

    Tom at first threatened to take the vets to court for unfair dismissal. More recently, he has taken to threatening Paddy.

    Demanding his job back, Tom said he would no longer be victimised (yes, he really had the cheek to say this). He threatened to expose the vets wrongdoings, such as cutting corners and letting the Dingles off with their bills.

    What happened in Emmerdale?

    In Monday’s episode of Emmerdale (November 18), Cain Dingle asked Mack to call Paddy at the vets and get him to come and look at Moira‘s prize bull.

    It was Tom who turned up – proof that Tom’s blackmail had worked its magic on Paddy. Cain was incensed – who can blame him after what Tom put Belle through?

    Cain promptly told Tom: “You’re not going anywhere near my cattle.” But a smug Tom pointed out that their insurance wouldn’t be valid if they turned down medical care.

    Not wanting any harm to come to Moira’s bull, Cain reluctantly agreed to let Tom do his job. But fans and us alike were all baffled that Tom had a job at all.

    Fans baffled at Tom U-turn

    Taking to X, viewers couldn’t believe that Tom had managed to get his job at the vets surgery back.

    “Can’t believe Tom is back working at the vets,” one viewer said, while another fan wrote: “Tom’s got the Emmerdale bumpkins dancing to his tune.”

    Another viewer wrote: “Has Paddy seriously given in and given Tom his job back? Wonder what Vanessa has to say about that?”

    A fourth viewer asked: “Paddy took Tom back, I mean, what leverage has he got?”

    On Cain’s reaction to seeing Tom, another fan quipped: “Tom as welcome as an outbreak of foot and mouth.”
