    As Billy’s fight club and Tom’s behaviour leave fans ‘bored’, 4 other storylines that were total flops

    Emmerdale is currently airing some long-running storylines that are not hitting the mark. It’s fair to say fans are fed-up with it – and it’s not the first time plots have failed to impress.

    So what other storylines do you remember that didn’t capture your attention? We’ve rounded up the ones lots of Emmerdale fans are talking about.

    The current storylines in Emmerdale

    Although Tom’s abusive behaviour towards Belle started off as a masterpiece in soap storytelling, many viewers are getting fed-up. The consensus is that it has dragged on too long and Tom needs to get his comeuppance now.

    Sadly, in real life, this sort of behaviour would not be over in a heartbeat, but soaps do have the gift of being able to speed things up or slow things down as they so wish. Fans are now really annoyed and have regularly aired their frustrations over Tom on social media.

    “Tom will have arranged all of this… boring storyline,” said one after the Guy storyline on Tuesday November 5.

    Another addressed the soap itself: “Dear Emmerdale, wanted to let you know the storyline has become a joke and it’s kind of insensitive to people who go through DV. I mean Tom was banged to rights but you’re doing everything to make him evade justice so now the storyline is boring.”

    “The story of Tom is starting to get boring when will he get exposed?” sighed one more.

    Meanwhile, Billy, Ross and the illegal fights aren’t fairing much better!

    “All this bare knuckle fighting, plastic gangster business would be laughable if it wasn’t so boring,” joked one on X.

    Another agreed: “All this fighting stuff needs to stop now. Silly storyline…”

    “Emmerdale too much gloom and doom now. This fighting stuff is one of the worst stories ever,” said a third.

    Other storylines that have failed in Emmerdale

    It’s not the first time fans haven’t been happy with the on-screen antics. In fact they are now discussing it on a Reddit thread: just which storylines have failed to hit the mark?

    1. Amit’s whole storyline arc in Emmerdale

    Rishi died in a shock move by the soap last year. At the time it seemed he fell down the stairs. However, when his brother Amit arrived, it was revealed he had actually pushed Rishi to his death. They were rowing about inheritance money.

    Rishi, a fan favourite, is sorely missed. Amit meanwhile, was evil and unlikable and it was never really clear whether he actually cared about his family or just money.

    In the end, Jai found out the truth, pushed Amit down the stairs, locked him up for a few days, then blackmailed him to leave. And he did.

    “They killed off great Rishi for that [bleep],” said one fan.

    2. Marlon and Jessie

    Remember Marlon’s fourth wife, Jessie Grant? We barely do! But let us refresh your memory. Jessie was Leo’s headteacher, but she was on the rebound from a previous relationship. However there were sparks (we must have missed them) between her and Marlon and they got together and then had a surprise Christmas wedding.

    Tensions between Jessie’s sons Ellis and Billy as well as the arrival of her ex, Al Chapman, caused trouble and Jessie decided to leave for a new job in Dubai. Arguably the most emotional part of the whole thing was how little April reacted to losing yet another ‘mother’.

    “Zero chemistry from them and therefore zero interest from me,” said one fan.

    Another agreed: “Crazy to think that they even gave Marlon and Jessie a big Christmas Day wedding and by the following Christmas they’d already split up!”

    3. Jacob and Victoria’s romance

    They fought against all odds to be together, their love could not be stopped even though they knew it was wrong. And then suddenly Victoria no longer loved Jacob, actually she never had really at all, and she dumped him. It was all a bit for nothing, wasn’t it?

    It was scandalous given Victoria had been his sort-of former stepmother, dating his stepdad David. But actually the age difference between her and David was more than that between her and Jacob. We could almost get on board with them falling for each other.

    The reactions of their families were also dramatic with David leaving, Pollard struggling to come to terms with it and Leyla not happy at all. But then within weeks Victoria decided it wasn’t right, all the gushing she’d done was actually not real and she dumped Jacob. He’s barely been seen since!

    “The Jacob and Victoria romance – where even is he, anyway?” asked one viewer.

    4. The Rhona and Ivy storyline in Emmerdale

    Rhona Goskirk was completely thrown (as you would be) when she discovered her ex-husband Gus had used their frozen embryos without her permission to have a baby with his new wife, Lucy. Sadly, Lucy died in childbirth and Rhona made it her single-minded mission to get custody of baby Ivy.

    It threatened her entire marriage to Marlon, which was left hanging by a thread. She even went on the run with the baby so as not to give her up and ended up in court on kidnap charges. Then she betrayed the deal she’d made with Gus, tore him apart at his fraud trial and got him sentenced to eight years. Thus, giving her custody of Ivy.

    That is Ivy who we’ve not seen or heard about since.

    There was never going to be any winners in this storyline and all it served to do was make a previously favoured character disliked.

    “Rhona getting custody of Ivy went on forever and now you never see her,” said one fan.

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom showed his true colours as he lashed out at Amelia in front of everyone

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom showed his true colours as he lashed out at Amelia in front of everyone

    Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King slip up when he launched a tirade of abuse on Amelia in public. Surely there’s no coming back from that now?

    Meanwhile, Ross was winding Mackenzie up and it worked, and John worried about Robert.

    Here’s all that happened in Emmerdale tonight, Tuesday November 5.

    Tom hit out at Amelia

    Sam and Lydia’s bonfire party was getting going and Nicola agreed to meet Jimmy there so he could spend some time with Angel. Only after Tom insisted he wasn’t going because he was in too much pain after ‘being attacked’.

    Tom went back on his word, though, and went to the event with Amelia. Nicola was not best-pleased to see him, but agreed to ignore it to enjoy the evening with her family. Bob even bought them all a hotdog as a peace offering. He said it was time to move on as it’s what Heath would have wanted.

    But things took a turn when the guy was brought out and put on the bonfire and it was a clearly an effigy of Tom. Did he make it himself? We suspect so, but as he threatened the Dingles wanting to know who had done it, one by one they all admitted to being behind it. How very I am Spartacus!

    Amelia then went into bat for him, but all that did was rile Tom up even more. Tom turned on her. He told her he hadn’t wanted to come and it was all her idea. She seemed confused as she thought it had been his idea. He accused her of meddling, told her she was chasing after him like a stray dog and was pathetic. Amelia ran off, leaving Tom looking slightly worried he’d gone too far – ya think? Even Jimmy looked uncomfortable with the situation.

    Can Tom rectify this and put himself back in control? Or has hitting out in front of a crowd shown the village what they already knew – he is a nasty abuser? Is this finally the beginning of the end for him?

    Emmerdale tonight: Ross wound Mack up

    Ross wanted to do a firework display for the kids as an olive branch to Mack and suggested they stage it together. But Mack thought it was another dangerous idea and waxed lyrical about being a safety conscious dad.

    As he tried to patronise Ross, Ross fought back throwing what happened with Chloe and Reuben in his face. He then insisted he and Charity still had a connection and referenced their heart to heart yesterday.

    Mack went to see Charity and asked for the truth about their ‘connection’. Charity confessed Ross had kissed her. As Mack went apoplectic Charity insisted they were solid, but Mack was going to kill Ross apparently. He’s clearly forgetting the last few times Ross has kicked his backside!

    Mack later returned home to Charity and told her he believed her. They insisted they were “unbreakable” (which is foreshadowing if ever we heard it) and made up. So how long until Charity’s in bed with Ross then?

    Ella didn’t make it easy

    Ella was moving out and Mandy was helping her. But Ella was adamant she was not leaving the surgery as well as her home. Liam tried to talk her out of it and felt working together might be a bit awkward. Ella did not and said she was taking the job, end of discussion.

    John brooded

    Aaron was feeling glum over Seb and it’s brought up all sorts of memories for him. John overheard him confiding in Victoria and tried to lighten the mood, but Aaron sulked off. Victoria advised her brother to talk about his feelings to Aaron. That’s a new idea, isn’t it?!

    But rather than talking, John took the brooding approach, worrying over how deeply involved Aaron and Robert really were – clearly he’s not aware of the Robron hashtag, eh? But will he take Vic’s advice and just ask Aaron about it?

    Jade was not letting Ross off (Credit: ITV)

    More fight club in Emmerdale tonight

    Ross was clearly being followed, but not by Mackenzie, by someone who actually could take him on and frighten him. Jade was waiting with her heavies and they gave him a pasting before hanging him over a bridge. Ross is being made to fight again.

    Jade then paid Dawn a visit and they bonded over wine, leaving Billy shocked and furious. He tried to stand up to Jade and even offered to help her out with money. Jade laughed in his face and threatened Dawn and the kids, leaving Billy with little choice but to face Ross in the ring again.

    They both insisted this would be the last time and an end to it – and we really pray that it is because we can’t watch much more of it.

  • Nicola and Bob affair predicted by fans – and Tom will use it to his advantage

    Nicola and Bob affair predicted by fans – and Tom will use it to his advantage

    Emmerdale fans have predicted that an affair between Nicola and Bob is on the cards – and that scheming Tom could use it to his sinister advantage.

    Last night’s episode of the soap (Monday, November 4), saw Nicola share a tender moment with Bob. This came after her daughter Angel’s return to the village. Bob set aside his heartbreak to tell Nicola that Angel was struggling since her return from the STC – and planned not to go back to school either.

    As Nicola broke down, the pair shared a comforting hug. However, the moment had some fans wondering whether Nicola and Bob might be headed for an affair.

    And even if not, one fan theory predicted that manipulative Tom could use Bob to drive a wedge between Nicola and Jimmy.

    Emmerdale fans predict Tom will use Nicola and Bob ‘affair’ to his own advantage

    Writing on X as the scene aired, fans shared their thoughts on where Bob and Nicola‘s tender moment might be headed.

    “Nicola, be careful hugging Bob in public. Tom will lay it on thick with Jimmy and convince him (though it won’t take much) that she’s having a fling,” suggested one worried viewer.

    “Hear me out… Nicola and Bob affair incoming?” asked a second.

    “Please put Bob and Nicola together even if it’s just to sicken Jimmy,” joked another.

    However, others saw the scene for what it was – a warmer moment shared between two struggling parents. After all, Bob has recently lost son Heath due to Angelica’s actions.

    “Well it’s good to see Nicola Wheeler get some material to dig into. That scene with Nicola and Bob was fantastic…” another fan said.

    Fans warn soap not to put Bob and Nicola together

    Earlier this year, fans warned writers of the soap not to go ahead with a Bob and Nicola affair. This came in August, as Nicola sought comfort in Bob’s words after learning that Angel wasn’t doing too well at the detention centre.

    As Bob gave Nicola a shoulder to cry on (very good of him, given what Angel had actually done), viewers sensed there could be more to it and begged the soap not to go there.

  • ‘Who Killed Tom King 2’ predicted as Christmas storyline by fans

    ‘Who Killed Tom King 2’ predicted as Christmas storyline by fans

    How will Emmerdale conclude the saga of Tom King? For months now, frustrated viewers have watched as terrible Tom has tormented wife Belle – first during their marriage, and now in the aftermath of his being exposed as an abuser.

    While Tom’s secret is out now, he’s still denying it all. He’s even faked being beaten up to keep uncle Jimmy on side. But with the Dingles shouting of Tom’s guilt from the rooftops, and Nicola increasingly convinced too, it’s clear he’s facing a losing battle.

    But how will Tom’s story end?

    Fans of the soap have predicted that this is all headed for a classic Christmas whodunnit – with Emmerdale setting things up for a ‘Who Killed Tom King mark Two.’

    Emmerdale fans predict Tom King whodunnit is coming

    Writing on a Reddit thread, one fan said: “I could honestly see ’em redoing who killed Tom King number two for Christmas. It fits perfectly, 18 years on from his granddad. And Belle’s birthday is also on Christmas. I’m pretty sure it would link up very well?”

    “Kim’s horse is shining his hooves ready for action,” joked another – referring to the death of rapist Craig, who had been done in by Kim Tate’s horse – resolving the soap’s last whodunnit.

    “Are they gonna do a who killed Tom?” asked a third, over on X.

    “This storyline is going to end with a ‘who killed Tom’ ending. So many suspects from Cain to Isaac. But I think it’ll be Amelia,” said another.

    Who killed Tom King? No, not that one

    Such a storyline would follow in the footsteps of Classic Emmerdale‘s Who Killed Tom King storyline of 2006. This saw family patriarch Tom defenestrated (pushed out of a window, to you and I) – with his three sons and new wife as prime suspects.

    This carried on for five months, when the killer was finally revealed. As Matthew and Jimmy fought it out – with Matthew accusing Jimmy of killing their dad – Carl confessed the truth.

    Carl had whacked his dad over the head in a fit of frustration, after Tom attempted to force him to split up with Chas with the threat of disinheritance. As Tom grabbed on to his son, Carl pushed him away – causing him to fall out of the window.

    Will history repeat itself?

    Spoilers: Tom threatens Paddy as he struggles to keep control

    In Emmerdale spoilers, Tom King threatens Paddy as he struggles with the ongoing pressure of the investigation into his abuse of Belle and his growing unpopularity in the village.

    In the wake of Belle revealing that he’d abused her, Tom’s life and career quickly fell apart. Not only are the Dingles out for blood, but Nicola has also seen the light. Convinced that Belle is telling the truth, she’ll stop at nothing to expose him… even risking her marriage to husband Jimmy.

    Meanwhile, with Rhona and Vanessa believing Belle’s side of the story, they suspended Tom with plans to fire him. Fuming, Tom threatened to sue for unfair dismissal. His threats had Rhona shaken, but she remained set on getting rid.

    However, controlling Tom was never one to let things go. And, with his lies quickly spinning out of hand, Tom is keen to get things back on track. So far, this has involved faking a beating with the help of his own solicitor, and trashing his car. His victim act may have Jimmy fooled, but he still has a lot of work to do to repair his public image.

    Next on Tom’s to-do list is getting his job back – by any means necessary. Issuing a threat to Paddy, Tom demands to be reinstated at the vets’. Will Paddy bow to Tom’s demands?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Nicola is our new favourite as she gave Tom what for – and left Jimmy

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Nicola is our new favourite as she gave Tom what for – and left Jimmy

    Nicola King proved she is absolutely not backing down in Emmerdale tonight as she picked her team and made her feelings about Tom perfectly clear. Honestly, we’ve never much warmed to Nicola until now when we absolutely love her!

    Elsewhere, Liam was a bumbling wreck, but he managed to do the deed. Now he just has to live with the consequences.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

    Nicola took on Tom

    Not preparing to sit around and let Tom get away with it, Nicola turned her attentions to grilling Amelia for information. But Tom caught them and insisted Nicola talk to him directly. He then sat her down for ‘a chat’ to get to know each other better.

    He tried to play patronising Mr Nice Guy, but Nicola did not buy that Belle imagined it all due to her mental health. She told him he was wasting his time, she could see through him and his lies. We’ve never liked Nicola this much before!

    Tom tried desperately to manipulate her, despite her standing up to him. But she gave it to him with both barrels insisting he was a wife beater – at which point Jimmy walked in. And once again took Tom’s side.

    Divorce him, Nicola. Now.

    Well, she didn’t quite go that far, but as Jimmy insisted she apologise to Tom, Nicola refused. And then she said her and the kids were moving to Laurel’s until Tom left. Tom offered to move out, but Jimmy told him to stay put, accusing Nicola of playing games.

    But Nicola was deadly serious insisting she would not have Tom around her children. Then she went to pack her bags.

    We never thought we’d say this, but we are totally Team Nicola. How can Jimmy not put his own children first? It’s beyond us. He is an absolute idiot.

    And go Nicola! Is anyone else thinking of a DS Foy and Nicola King spin-off series bringing abusers to justice? Just us? Okay then…

    Liam did the deed in Emmerdale tonight

    Liam was once again apologising to Chas who insisted he had to break up with Ella. He finally plucked up the courage to talk to her, but she jumped in and started banging on about their first Christmas together. He bumbled and stumbled but eventually told her it wasn’t working. He also lied there was no one else, which was probably a mistake.

    The sticking point now is that she has nowhere else to go so they have to keep on living together. He suggested staying with Chas, but as he hadn’t told the truth about their relationship that was a definite no-go as far as she was concerned. What a pickle, Dr C.

    Did Mack set Ross up?

    There was trouble at the farm when Mack supposedly saw some men hanging out, so Ross went to sort it with a gun. But when he fired a warning shot to whoever it was, it was Moses who appeared, alongside Mack. Oops. But something stinks here – did Mack set him up to make him look bad in front of Charity? Mackenzie certainly didn’t waste any time laying it on thick to his wife about what a bad dad Ross was almost shooting his own son.

    Charity, of course, have a go at Ross about the incident, but he turned it round and commented that she kept trying to save him. Is there something in it? Does Charity still lust after Ross?

    Angelica returned

    Angelica is home, but she was worried about what people thought of her. Jimmy was Mr Perky Positive insisting it was a fresh start, but then Bob came across them and didn’t react well, particularly as she was wearing Heath’s hoodie.

    When Angel walked into the house to find Tom and Nicola arguing, she ran out, upset. Nicola found her on the bridge and tried to comfort her, promising she was going to get her daughter through this.

    Meanwhile, Bob was in the pub nursing a pint and drowning his sorrows. He doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to make peace with it. Laurel advised him he had to move on, but can he?

  • Who’s got it in for Tom? All the fan theories as his car is smashed up

    Who’s got it in for Tom? All the fan theories as his car is smashed up

    Tom King isn’t exactly a popular man in Emmerdale right now. Last night’s episode of the soap (Thursday, October 31) saw Tom face increasing pressure as the police investigated claims that he’d terrorised a child and disposed of vital evidence.

    This came as Nicola took Carl down the station to tell investigating officers all about Tom and the missing tablet.

    The police released Tom without charge, but he was more unpopular than ever – with Nicola growing increasingly convinced of his guilt.

    Emmerdale: Tom under fire as Nicola issues a warning

    Back at home, Nicola warned Tom that he had better behave – or else. With Angelica being released from the detention centre, she wanted a calm and safe environment. And if Tom did anything to violate that, he’d be out on his ear.

    Trouble didn’t take long to come calling. And, as the episode ended, Tom discovered that someone had smashed the windshield of his car with a brick.

    Fuming, Nicola took this as all the proof she needed that Tom was a bad influence on their household.

    But whodunnit?

    Who bricked Tom’s car?

    As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their theories as to who smashed up Tom’s car. Jimmy immediately suspected the Dingles, but Tom has no shortage of enemies in the village… if he didn’t do it himself, that is.

    “I reckon it was Dawn or Rhona who threw the brick at Tom’s car…he did threaten to sue the vets,” suggested one fan.

    “I reckon it was Nicola that smashed Tom’s car window!” another guessed.

    “It was probably Carl that threw the brick at Tom’s car,” said a third.

    Meanwhile, another theory suggested that Tom smashed up his own car in order to garner sympathy from Jimmy and Nicola.

    “I think Tom put a brick through his own car window as he’s losing control,” one fan said.

    Who do you think attacked Tom’s car?

    Emmerdale tonight: Nicola won’t let it go

    As the story continues tonight (Friday, November 1), Nicola finds herself unable to let her suspicions slide. She may have promised Jimmy that she’d leave Tom be, but she’s still on a hunt for answers.

    As her dogged pursuit goes on, she clashes with Jimmy over what to do. Can she make Jimmy see sense?

    1. Nicola’s on to Tom

    Nicola is not buying one second of Tom’s act and despite agreeing with Jimmy to leave it after the police freed him, Nicola is doing no such thing. In fact, she’s still on a quest for answers and will stop at nothing to get them.

    But as her pursuit of the truth puts more and more pressure on her marriage to Jimmy, how will this end? Is Tom going to win again? Or will Jimmy finally see sense?

    2. Liam’s under pressure

    After admitting his feelings for Chas at the pub’s Halloween bash and her saying she feels the same way, Liam is preparing to end his romance with Ella. He and Chas are hoping to finally reunite.

    However, things are complicated by Ella also getting fired from the vets! She thinks Liam has given her her job back at the surgery and they are totally loved up. So it’s fair to say Liam feels the pressure mounting up in tonight’s Emmerdale.

    Will he manage to go through with the break-up?

    3. Mack’s clash in Emmerdale spoilers

    Mack’s had a very busy week. From Ross returning and instantly making an enemy of him, to trying to support Billy at his unlicensed boxing matches, Mack’s had a lot on his plate.

    In tonight’s spoilers, Mack finds himself butting heads with Ross once again. As things come to a head at the farm while working together (why did Charity ever think that would be a good idea?!), will Mack and Ross ever settle their differences?

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Tom was released but Nicola vowed to bring him down – and we love DS Foy!

    Emmerdale tonight saw the police close in on Tom – even though he was then released. Nicola is on to him and is going to prove it, and DS Foy also has his number. Soon enough there’s going to be nowhere to hide for Tom King – and we can’t wait.

    Meanwhile, Liam chose Chas, but failed to dump Ella, and Charity and Cain reached out to Ross, against their better judgement.

    Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale on Thursday October 31.

    Foy has Tom’s card marked

    Tom had spent the night in the cells awaiting questioning. Meanwhile police were swarming the village on the hunt for the tablet. Jimmy was furious with Nicola, while Nicola was desperately trying to get through to Jimmy, but he was still firmly Team Tom.

    In questioning, Tom tried to talk his way out of things and insisted he felt terrible about shouting at Carl. DS Foy did not buy his act at all. We love this man.

    A bank statement and invoice were produced proving Tom bought several spy cameras. Tom admitted buying them and installing them, but said it was to protect them after being burgled twice. But every answer Tom gave, DS Foy had a comeback. This cop has got Tom’s number and he’s not going to stop until he brings him to justice. He is fast becoming our hero.

    And then Foy played his ace: the tablet has been found! (At this point you’d have found us dancing around our sofas with joy). And it has been traced to Tom. Although it’s broken, Foy is sure their tech team can recover the data.

    Nicola and Jimmy got good news

    Back at home, Nicola and Jimmy were still at loggerheads. But a call about Angelica interrupted them. She is coming home tomorrow. The couple eventually agreed to stop bickering and that they would go along with the outcome the police decided over Tom.

    Sadly for everyone, that seemed to be that Tom walked free. He was soon dropped back in the village having not been charged. Sigh.

    Jimmy was over the moon, Nicola not so much, and she made it very clear she did not trust Tom as far as she could throw him.

    And when Tom’s car was smashed up, Nicola insisted Tom had to go. But Jimmy took Tom’s side again and Nicola vowed to prove Tom was no good.

    So with both Nicola and Foy on the case, surely it’s only a matter of time before Tom is caught and punished.

    Liam chose Chas in Emmerdale tonight

    Liam was doing his vampire make-up for Halloween, when Chas arrived to get Eve’s bunny. Things were awkward but he was forced into accepting her invite to the Halloween bash at the pub.

    Liam later visited Chas to return the bunny and confessed he has been avoiding her. FINALLY, Liam and Chas admitted their feelings for each other. They agreed it would pass, but couldn’t resist and were soon kissing. Ella interrupted their kiss and Liam hid. But once she’d gone, Chas told Liam he had to make a choice.

    Liam said it was obvious: it was Chas every time. But as he tried to break the news to Ella, she revealed Paddy had fired her. And then he ended up giving her her job back at the surgery. Liam also chickened out of breaking up with her.

    When they turned up at the party at the Woolpack later, Chas was as stony faced as Morticia Adams (who she was dressed as) when she realised Liam had not ended things.

    Is this yet another non-starter for the pair? Too much false hope is getting us bored.

    Ross revealed more

    Aaron found out Rebecca had died three months ago. He was upset and broke the news to Victoria. She insisted they needed to find Seb – she has remembered she is his aunt and wants to bring him up herself. Another crusade for Vic then, eh?

    They found Ross in the pub who told them Robert had agreed to it all and signed the papers for Seb to move to Bristol. Ross claimed to have visited Robert, which is a bit odd because yesterday he denied any knowledge of Robert being involved. Is there more to Rebecca’s death story than meets the eye?

    Charity then tried to talk Ross out of fighting again. She told him to pull himself together for the sake of his son. Then she went into bat for him with Cain asking for a job for Ross – and a place to stay. Mack wasn’t happy about it, but Cain agreed, insisting there had better not be any trouble. Cue a text from Jade telling Ross to stop ignoring her and call. Sounds like trouble to us…

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Belle lost hope

    Belle is doing better, but is still terrified about going to prison. She is convinced everyone will believe Tom and there’s no talking her out of it. She was completely defeated.

    Sam and Charity decided not to tell Belle about the developments in the village. But Sam couldn’t keep his mouth shut and gave Belle the hope she needed. Which proved to be a huge mistake when he later saw Tom free in the village.

    Cain can’t cope

    Moira’s been gone five minutes and Cain’s run ragged, running the farm and the garage and baking cakes for Isaac. They were as hard as rocks, but at least he could pull off the pinny!
