  • Fears for new fan favourite DS Foy amid calls to move him to the village

    Fears for new fan favourite DS Foy amid calls to move him to the village

    Sometimes in soaps fans become connected with recurring guest characters, and want them to stay longer. That’s exactly what has happened with Emmerdale detective DS Foy.

    Over the last few weeks the policeman has made it his mission to bring Tom down.

    From the very moment he heard Belle’s domestic abuse allegations, it was clear he believed her.

    Detective Foy’s character

    From fighting in her corner the whole way, even while Tom continued to scheme against them all, it’s no surprise fans are calling for DS Foy to be a regular character. 

    But as the fan requests continue, some have admitted they don’t want him to become too regular – purely because they love his character too much.

    On a Reddit thread, Emmerdale fans discussed the potential of having DS Foy around. And they raised their fears.

    It’s not uncommon for Emmerdale characters to begin as a much-loved person, but then as the storylines go on, change their behaviours to keep them relevant.

    Sometimes the soap finds itself looking for ways to keep things dramatic, and in the process they may ruin the reasons we love certain characters or couples.

    This is not what fans want for DS Foy.

    Fans worry for Emmerdale’s DS Foy

    The creator of the thread admitted: “He’s got to stick around, he’s brilliant!”

    Not long after, many fans were agreeing, but they had their reservations.

    One commented: “I agree that he is a great character – but the writers wouldn’t know what to do with him and we’ve already had the whole police officer living in the village thing with Harriet.”

    Viewers will remember that Harriet lived in the village from 2013 up until her death in 2022. 

    Another fan responded, suggesting: “He doesn’t have to live there – he could just become a recurring character.”

    While a third fan agreed they would love to see more of them, they worried the writers could turn him into a villain as they wouldn’t know what else to do.

    “I like him. But that’s why I don’t want him to live in the village. They always make the coppers who live in the village dirty”, they wrote.

    With Tom finally being caught out, we could see DS Foy’s time in Emmerdale begin to wind down, but hopefully this storyline isn’t the last we see of him.

  • Emmerdale fans rejoice as Tom King is taken down in a ‘really great’ plot twist: ‘Best episode in a long time’

    Emmerdale fans rejoice as Tom King is taken down in a ‘really great’ plot twist: ‘Best episode in a long time’

    It finally happened. Despite thinking he could run away, Emmerdale’s Tom King was stopped and arrested by DS Foy last night – in what some fans are calling the ‘best episode in a long time’.

    Fans have been desperate for Belle to get the justice she deserved. And after Emmerdale released a trailer for this week’s episodes, many hoped it was a sign the end was in sight.

    Earlier this week, Belle was given the good news that Tom was charged for his crimes. But knowing her scheming husband, she knew he would be up to something, and that he wasn’t going to go down without a fight.

    Released on bail, Tom thought he could continue to manipulate Jimmy into letting him live there, but even his uncle had caught on to the man he really is. And after a long conversation with Belle, Jimmy knew he couldn’t let Tom back in his life.

    With everybody turning their back on him, Tom decided he had to flee the village. After giving Amelia false information regarding where he was going, Tom set off.

    But the Emmerdale villain couldn’t resist having another attempt at terrorising Belle when he spotted her on the street – and this proved to be his downfall.

    Belle acted like she was letting him go, but in reality she slotted her own phone in his belongings, meaning he was now trackable.

    Tom was then caught by DS Foy right before he got the chance of escaping, and Emmerdale fans are over the moon with the plot twist.

    Fans react to Emmerdale Tom King’s arrest

    Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate the ending of the episode.

    One fan praised: “So happy Belle finally outsmarted Tom. She’s going to get the outcome she deserves.”

    Another wrote: “That was the best episode of Emmerdale in a long time. Congratulations to all involved.”

    “This plot twist is amazing. Belle is a legend for confronting Tom and putting her phone in his bag. Really glad everyone has found out how vile he really is,” a third penned.

    A viewer expressed how happy they were that their theory was wrong. “I honestly thought he was going to force her into the car, pretend he was going to the police station but really take her somewhere else. I’m so glad it happened the way it did. Such a great twist.”

    As Tom is finally behind bars, there’s still a chance he isn’t gone yet. As Belle said herself, she can’t see him ever pleading guilty.

    Will Tom be back on our screens? Will he do the right thing and plead guilty?

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

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

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

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

    Jimmy saw Tom for what he is

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

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

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

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

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

    Tom plotted to flee

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

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

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

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

    Tom and Belle – the final showdown

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

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

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

    DS Foy to the rescue again in Emmerdale tonight

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

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

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

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

    Ella caught Chas and Liam out in Emmerdale tonight

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

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

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

    Pollard in peril in Emmerdale tonight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Not likely!

    What happened to Tom in Emmerdale tonight

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

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

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

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

    Tom and Belle had a final showdown

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

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

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

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

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

    Has Tom left Emmerdale for good?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    When does Tom’s final episode air?

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

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

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

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

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

    All hail DS Foy!

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

    Detective Foy in Emmerdale

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

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

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

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

    And tonight (Thursday November 28) Foy will be the hero again when Tom tries to avoid justice.

    Fans love Foy!

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • Tom is charged by DS Foy but is this really the end of him? Here’s what happens next

    Tom is charged by DS Foy but is this really the end of him? Here’s what happens next

    They took their time, but the Emmerdale police have finally recovered the video footage from Tom King‘s tablet that proves he’s been abusing wife Belle Dingle. Hallelujah!

    Tom was charged with coercive controlling behaviour and assault against Belle. No doubt fans of the soap will be delighted Tom’s reign of terror has finally come to an end. Or has it? Is this really the last we’ll see of him? Knowing Tom King, is he actually likely to go down without a fight?

    What happened to Tom in Emmerdale tonight?

    Tom’s creepy behaviour reached new heights on Tuesday November 26 when he snuck into the house, stole Belle’s top and then gifted it to Amelia. However tonight, he was not happy to see Amelia wearing the top – obviously worried he was about to be caught out.

    He hit out and told her it wasn’t a work outfit and she was to go home and change. But before she could, Belle arrived and saw Amelia in the jumper. She realised what Tom had done and rushed off.

    Amelia then went to see Tom and nervously questioned him about where the top came from. He went mad, grabbed her forcefully by the arm and dragged her out of the house. Amelia shouted he was hurting her and the whole thing was witnessed by Jimmy – and DS Foy! YES!

    Tom was hauled down the station and advised to contact his solicitor. The police had finally recovered the footage from Tom’s tablet – they have proof he’s been watching Belle. Tom tried to talk his way out of it, but it was to no avail. DS Foy later arrived at the pub and told Belle her husband had been charged. And as well as that, she is not being pursued for axing him in the back.

    It’s win, win all round – or is it? Because we know Tom, and we know he won’t stop fighting…

    Has Tom left Emmerdale?

    It has been said actor James Chase, who plays Tom, is leaving at Christmas. Earlier this year he revealed to Entertainment Daily that he always knew Tom has a “shelf life”.

    He said: “He can’t get away with it. [Belle] needs justice for what happened to her and I think also the viewer needs that. From all the hell we’ve seen Belle get put through, we have to see her win in the end or at the very least, for him to lose.”

    James continued to say Tom needs to go to “prison at least”.

    And now he has been arrested and charged, is that it?

    There's more to come for Belle (Credit: ITV)

    What happens next? It’s not over…

    Emmerdale released a trailer last week of what’s to come this week as Tom faces justice. And there are scenes shown in that that we have yet to see on screen – pretty scary ones at that.

    Tom was 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 were seen in a car rushing to the rescue. With the walls closing in, what will Tom do?

    So it’s safe to say, this is not the end of Tom – yet.

    Emmerdale has confirmed it will be a happier Christmas for Belle, so we know it’s over soon. But has Tom saved the worst for last? Just what will he do? And what will happen to him?

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: DS Foy was the hero of the hour as Tom was finally charged!

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: DS Foy was the hero of the hour as Tom was finally charged!

    Emmerdale tonight saw Tom King brought to justice as he was charged by DS Foy for his treatment of Belle. Not only that but the case against Belle has been dropped.

    Colour us relieved. But is it really over?

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Wednesday November 27.

    Tom’s reign of terror seemingly came to an end in Emmerdale tonight

    Belle was convinced Tom had won

    Unable to sleep and worried about Tom’s ongoing presence, Belle visited Zak’s grave. She knew Tom was stalking her again, but she couldn’t prove it. Belle is sure the police are not on her side.

    Meanwhile, Amelia gave Tom a haircut and he was all over her. However he was not happy to see she was wearing the top he ‘bought’ her. He told her it wasn’t a work outfit and she was to go home and change. Kerry interrupted however with a chewing-gum-in-hair emergency. She also overheard Tom’s tantrum and warned Amelia once again against Tom.

    Belle then arrived and saw Amelia in the top. She realised what Tom had done and rushed off.

    Tom lashed out – and was taken to the station

    Amelia went to see Tom and nervously told him what Belle had said about the top going missing. He went mad and Amelia immediately backtracked. Tom grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the house. Amelia cried he was hurting her and the whole thing was witnessed by Jimmy – and DS Foy! YES!

    Tom was hauled down the station and advised to contact his solicitor. The police have footage from Tom’s tablet at last – they have proof he’s been watching her. Tom’s solicitor advised him not to say anything, but his arrogance was such that he felt he could talk his way out of this one as well.

    Back at the cafe, Jimmy was concerned, he tried to get info out of Belle who was shocked to hear Tom had been taken away by the police.

    Tom charged!

    And it seemed Tom’s rage still didn’t convince Amelia Belle was telling the truth. She still defended him to Kerry. But then she broke down and told Kerry what had happened with the top. She later arrived at the Woolpack with the jumper, just in time for another important arrival…

    At the pub, DS Foy arrived to talk to Belle and told her the forensics team has retrieved the files and Tom King has been charged with coercive controlling behaviour and assault against her. And the police are not proceeding with any case against Belle for axing him.

    This is great news, but is it really all over? Is that the last we are going to see of Tom?

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Pollard’s plans concerned Brenda

    Pollard is still worrying Brenda with his speedy wedding plans and engagement party for tomorrow. Leyla could only get the Hide at such short notice, but Eric wasn’t impressed and wanted to spoil her. As Brenda started to ask more questions, Eric fobbed her off and sent her shopping.

    Ruby tried again with Steph

    Ruby was still struggling and Chas offered counsel over family troubles. She used her own problems with Aaron to encourage Ruby not to give up on Steph.

    Ruby then went home and shared a drink with Steph. But once again it turned into an argument and Steph stalked off. Ruby managed to persuade her to stay.

    Liam was trying to leave the surgery, but Ella booked him a last-minute appointment. However, he dashed off and just as he and Chas were ripping each other’s clothes off, John burst in and caught them! He quickly made his exit and even stalled Ella on their behalf. Liam then snuck out and asked John to keep their secret. John agreed, but insisted they had to tell the truth to Ella and Aaron.

    Liam then lied to Ella about where he’d been and she checked up on him by phoning the patient he lied about. Busted Liam.

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Moira found vital evidence against Tom – but then she forgot about it

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Moira found vital evidence against Tom – but then she forgot about it

    Emmerdale tonight saw Moira see Tom’s secret video footage of Belle. It’s just the evidence Belle needs, but a seizure made Moira forget everything. So what does this mean for Belle’s case?

    And as Tom continues to build up a false picture of himself, will he get to the tablet first and destroy the evidence?

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Thursday October 3.

    Tom under pressure

    Tom was released and Jimmy was excited to see him like a puppy. Tom’s injury is absolute agony, but he can apparently still sit in a chair and lean back.

    Things weren’t looking too bad for Tom, annoyingly. He was pretty smug that he’d managed to trick the police and they don’t seem to know about his tablet. Meanwhile, Amelia was once again fawning over him, and a stand-off in the street between Jimmy and Amelia and Vinny saw the police step in. Gotta love DS Foy!

    Meanwhile, Belle was feeling guilty about what she did to Tom. It was only made worse when DS Foy then turned up and told her they couldn’t find any cameras to prove it. It’s obvious Foy believes Belle, but his hands are tied.

    Belle was terrified – she knows Tom won’t stop until he kills her. And she knows the evidence is stacked against her. But then she mentioned his tablet and the police admitted they didn’t have Tom’s tablet in their possession.

    Tom tried to play dumb and claimed he lost the tablet months ago. DS Foy didn’t buy it for a second and assured him they would find it. Please, please, please be right!

    Jimmy was then shocked to learn Tom had been secretly filming Belle. The scales may be starting to fall… Tom managed to persuade Jimmy it was all in Belle’s best interests and he was keeping her safe. Of course, stupid Jimmy bought it.

    Amelia was still fussing round Tom, who snapped at her. Tom’s solicitor Ollie arrived and told him to stop acting so guilty. He advised Tom to make sure they didn’t find the tablet and to keep Amelia sweet so it discredited Belle’s abuse claims. He told Tom to find the tablet or he’s “done for”.

    Moira found evidence – and then forgot it!

    Step forward Moira! Carl had the device in question to play Zombie computer games, but little Isaac nicked it off him! And then Moira got her hands on it… Moira looked through the files, realising it was Tom’s tablet.

    And, yes! Moira saw video footage that Tom had filmed of Belle at home. Thank goodness…

    Desperate to get the tablet into the right hands, Moira left a message for Belle telling her she needed to see this as ‘it’s even worse than you imagined’. Then deciding this was more important than her brain tumour problem, Moira grabbed the car keys and drove to see Belle instead.

    Soon though, she was struggling to drive, had got lost and had forgotten her phone. The stress and the pressure and the brain tumour all worked against her. She parked up, got out and wandered off down a bridleway. It wasn’t long before she collapsed, having another seizure.

    Mack eventually found her and brought her round – and she didn’t remember anything. Most importantly (and infuriatingly), she didn’t recognise the tablet, she didn’t remember leaving Belle messages and all the evidence is lost.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO! What is Emmerdale doing to us?

    The Liam/Ella/Chas love triangle resumed in Emmerdale tonight

    Liam is still lying to Ella about going to a seminar when actually he’s going to a murder mystery event. As he got dressed in his outfit, Ella caught him and Liam eventually confessed where he was going, stressing the emphasis on murder several times.

    She took it well and told him she didn’t mind, so off he went to have his fun. But we suspect she probably would mind when she finds out about his dalliance with Chas later on…

    He popped into the Woolpack to steady his nerves before the event. As he and Chas joked, she went a bit quiet and confessed she had a rash near her breast. She was worried it was the cancer coming back and Liam took a look at it. He diagnosed an allergy rash and Chas was relieved, throwing her arms around him.

    When is Emmerdale going to just get these two together and stop all the lingering looks and tooing and froing? It’s clear they want to be, so why is he messing around with Ella? It’s not creating tension or a love triangle, it’s just getting us all frustrated!

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Arthur made us all cringe

    Teen rebel Arthur is ‘too old’ for school and wanted to hang out around the village to flirt with John Sugden. Arthur thinks Aaron’s miserable and John could do better.

    But his attempts to flirt didn’t go too well, though John did smile, which made Arthur think he was in. Arthur pestered him again later and John dismissed him, but said he’d chat to him tomorrow. Arthur definitely thinks he’s got a chance and it was all really cringeworthy.

    Laurel and Charles made Arthur cringe

    But next it was Arthur’s turn to cringe when he caught his mum ‘at it’. Charles still wanted Laurel to help with the Harvest Festival and not taking no for an answer he followed Laurel home to ask her to stop avoiding him.

    But the bickering and back and forth got them hot and bothered again and they couldn’t resist. However, just as they descended the stairs and started snogging again, Arthur caught them at it. “It’s like sandpaper on my brain,” he cried. But promised not to tell anyone.
