    Will anyone believe Belle’s accusations?

    Belle’s nightmare is showing no signs of being over yet. Controlling Tom is continuing to do his worst, even going as far as threatening Belle with revenge porn.

    This has made Belle realise the only way to get back at Tom is by playing him at his own game. After laying her hands on his tablet, she confronted Tom in the Woolpack, publicly accusing him of foul play. Chas and Amelia were witness to the outburst and shocked by what they heard.

  • Review of the week: Piper’s alive, Ella’s lashing out, and what is Dawn up to?

    Review of the week: Piper’s alive, Ella’s lashing out, and what is Dawn up to?

    This week’s Emmerdale review is an emotional rollercoaster – just like the soap itself! We’ve been pulled every which way this week and frankly we don’t know whether we’re happy, sad or just plain confused!

    Read on to find out what’s been leaving our heads in a spin in this week’s Emmerdale review.

    Piper’s alive!

    Of course the big revelation this week was that poor Piper, Belle’s beloved pooch, is ALIVE!

    We have to admit, we had our suspicions. We’ve been soap fans long enough to know that, in the words of Taylor Swift, ‘no body, no crime’.

    But even though we didn’t see Tom run Piper over, we wondered if we were being a bit hopeful. Maybe the soap rules were different for animals. And things did look bleak when Tom brought Piper’s little wicker coffin up to Wishing Well to bury her beside Belle’s Shetland pony, Hamish.

    And then! The best twist ever! Piper’s alive! For a second we were thrilled to bits. Except, Tom’s given her away, and Belle still thinks she’s dead. How evil can one man be?! Honestly, THIS is what we mean by an emotional rollercoaster!

    Ella lashes out!

    We can’t quite get to grips with how we’re supposed to feel about child killer Ella.

    On the one hand, she’s done her time and everyone deserves a second chance. On the other – she doesn’t exactly help herself, does she?!

    This week, when Gary – the cousin of her victim, Joanne – turned up at Ella’s birthday celebrations, Ella lost it.

    Wendy tried to help but Ella lashed out, giving poor Wendy a huge thump in the face and scaring her. It turned out Ella wanted to be sent back to prison – the only real home she’d ever had.

    But on top of our conflicted feelings about Ella, we also felt a bit odd about Liam and Manpreet trying to gaslight a frightened and battered Wendy into withdrawing her statement. Ella may have had her reasons, but she still attacked Wendy.

    Maybe we just need to get to know Ella better, but for now, the jury’s out on how we feel about this former jailbird.

    Jai and Laurel’s money battle

    Jai and Laurel’s divorce is becoming more acrimonious by the day and this week things took a turn. Except we’re not quite sure what’s going on.

    Everyone’s lying and scheming and covering things up and now Caleb seems to be involved and we’re completely baffled.

    All we really know is we’re totally Team Laurel!

    What’s Dawn up to in our Emmerdale review?

    So Rose vanished, Will thinks Kim is responsible, Kim thinks Will did it, and she’s gone off to Dubai which makes Will even more suspicious that she’s the guilty party.

    Meanwhile, Will’s sending Dawn messages from Rose’s phone and fretting, while Dawn worries about where her mum is.

    Except.

    In Friday’s episode we discovered that Dawn’s been lying. She’s setting Will up for something and we’re not sure who’s in on it? Is this Dawn working with Rose to take revenge on her dad?

    Or is it Dawn and Kim who have teamed up? Could Dawn, Kim AND Rose all be in on it? What even is IT? We’re so confused – and looking forward to next week’s episodes when hopefully it’ll all be explained.

    Emmerdale just confirmed Piper the Dog’s real fate – and now we can finally sleep at night

    Piper the Dog’s real fate has been confirmed in Emmerdale – and she’s alive! The adorable pup was believed to be dead after evil Tom deliberately ran her over, but it’s now been revealed she’s OK.

    While Piper appears to have some injuries, at least she’s still with us. However, it remains to be seen if Belle will ever be reunited with her beloved dog.

    Here’s everything you need to know about Piper in Emmerdale.

    What happened to Piper?

    Evil Tom has used Piper as a weapon against Belle ever since they got married. He knows how much Belle loves Piper, so has been deliberately mean to the poor dog. He previously locked her outside while he and Belle were in Wales and also once injected Piper to make her seem unwell.

    In recent scenes, Tom deliberately hit Piper with his car while no one was around. He took her from Lydia and Sam’s house while they were out at the pub with Belle.

    He then used Piper’s injuries as a way to get Belle to speak to him. Tom assured Belle he would do all he could to save Piper, however the following day he informed Belle that Piper was going to have to be put down. In heartbreaking scenes, Belle bid farewell to her beloved dog.

    It wasn’t long until she came to the conclusion that Tom was to blame for Piper’s death. However, no one would listen to Belle’s accusations and instead took Tom’s side. How awful!

    Emmerdale confirms Piper the Dog’s fate

    Despite Piper having been ‘buried’ in heartbreaking scenes, it’s now been confirmed that she’s alive and well.

    In a shock twist in Wednesday’s episode (August 21), Tom was seen handing over Piper to an unknown couple. The pair seemed to think they were rescuing the dog, seemingly unaware that Piper had actually been taken from Belle.

    Tom made out that Piper’s previous owner was a horrible woman who had neglected the little dog. Can this guy stoop any lower?!

    Meanwhile, Belle is unaware her dog is alive and still believes she buried her. However, she is convinced Tom is responsible for what happened to Piper and appears determined to expose him once and for all. Go Belle!

  • Emmerdale tonight: Piper’s true fate was revealed, Jai stooped to a new low and Mandy got carried away

    Emmerdale tonight: Piper’s true fate was revealed, Jai stooped to a new low and Mandy got carried away

    Emmerdale tonight saw Laurel left devastated when Jai lied about his finances during their first mediation session. The former couple’s split is becoming more bitter by the day and their divorce looks set to get messy.

    Elsewhere, Tom gained access to Belle’s laptop and found out she’d contacted the police. Also, Piper’s true fate was revealed while Gabby and Vinny continued to grow closer.

    Everything was happening in Emmerdale on Wednesday August 21.

    Jai’s lies

    Laurel and Jai’s first mediation session arrived. Laurel was feeling uncertain beforehand, as she worried if Jai would be thoughtful or not. Ruby gave her some advice in cafe as she compared Caleb to Jai (erm, okay then…)

    The mediation session got off on the wrong foot after Jai arrived late. He came bounding in, insisting he didn’t want to be difficult (yeah, right!) Things soon took a turn, with Jai claiming he’d sold Holdgate to his sister and Tenants to Liam.

    He said he had debts to pay off after making bad decisions, leaving Laurel baffled. Laurel pleaded with him during the meeting, but he continued to insist he was skint. She then lashed out, but Jai continued to put on act in front of the lawyer.

    Later on, Caleb and Jai met up to discuss business, with Jai admitting he felt guilty about what he’d done to Laurel. Caleb insisted Jai owes Laurel nothing and encouraged him to continue with his lies.

    After Jai left, Caleb told Ruby he was surprised at how trusting Jai is. Is Caleb up to something?

    Tom spied on Belle – again

    Tom let himself into Belle’s home (nothing new there) and attempted to guess the password to her laptop. He grew frustrated when he realised she’d changed it, but after some deliberation he managed to correctly guess it.

    Tom then put malware software on her laptop in a bid to watch what she’s up to. He headed home and proceeded to look through Belle’s emails and search history, discovering she’d contacted the police and been searching about domestic abuse.

    Tom later met up with a lawyer friend and sought some advice about his divorce. He told him that Belle was making false accusations about him.

    Mandy got carried away

    Rhona, Manpreet, Ella and Mandy decided to head for lunch at The Hide to chat all about Mandy’s honeymoon.

    Ella made a swift exit after the meal, but accidentally left her bag behind. Her driving license fell out as Rhona picked up the bag, and they discovered Ella is turning 30 tomorrow.

    Mandy was quick to insist they should plan something special for Ella, while Manpreet wasn’t so sure.

    Piper’s alive!

    In a shock twist, it was revealed that Piper the Dog is actually alive and well! The poor pup has definitely sustained some injuries as she was seen with a cone around her head.

    And, just when we thought Tom couldn’t get any worse, he did. He gave Piper away to an unknown couple, who were under the impression they were rescuing Piper. He told them Piper’s former owner hadn’t been looking after her.

    Meanwhile, Belle was seen speaking to Piper’s grave as she still believes her beloved dog is dead. Evil.

    Also in tonight’s Emmerdale…

    Also, Vinny expressed his interest in spending some more time with Thomas, despite Gabby insisting he doesn’t have to. Later on, Vinny and Gabby headed to the playground with Thomas. While there, they shared a touching moment when Vinny said he felt Liv would be happy for them. How cute.

  • Emmerdale hasn’t included Chas in Tom’s abuse storyline – and fans can’t believe the soap hasn’t addressed it

    Emmerdale hasn’t included Chas in Tom’s abuse storyline – and fans can’t believe the soap hasn’t addressed it

    Over in Emmerdale, viewers will know that Belle has just started to realise the extent of which her husband Tom has been abusing her.

    After little Piper’s death, Belle decided to go to the police to speak to them about the abuse she’s been receiving.

    But, one thing has been neglected throughout this storyline and it involves Chas Dingle – and fans have complained that it makes no sense at all!

    Emmerdale: Belle goes to the police about Tom

    This week, Belle was left heartbroken (and so was the rest of the nation) after finding out that her beloved pet dog – Piper – had sadly passed away after being knocked over by a car.

    It wasn’t long before she started accusing Tom of killing the pup, sharing her concerns with Lydia. However, Belle’s loved ones didn’t believe that he would do something like that.

    Realising that Tom had been abusing her, Belle decided to take action and go to the police about her abusive husband.

    She explained how he’d been treating her, bringing up Claire’s Law. She, however, didn’t want to officially report Tom…

    Emmerdale's Chas is serious
    Chas has kept rather quiet (Credit: ITV)

    Tom’s past with Chas seems to have been forgotten…

    So, let’s get this right… when Charity had concerns about Tom’s behaviour, none of the Dingles sided with her.

    And, when Belle voiced her upset of Tom, the Dingles were quick to blame everything on Belle’s mental illness. At not one point has Chas remembered that Tom actually stalked her and made her life hell in the past.

    Now, fans aren’t impressed with the oversight, noting that Chas would’ve been the first person they’d expect to support Belle and believe that something’s up with Tom’s behaviour.

    One fan wrote: “This story has such flaws. If Charity is concerned, how come she hasn’t discussed it with Chas who had abuse from Tom’s dad, Carl? They haven’t involved Chas in any of the storyline yet she knows how twisted the men are more than anyone. Also, with a brother like Cain, why is Belle not turning to him for protection?”

    Another person added: “Charity did say she’d be keeping a close eye on Tom. But I think it should be Chas as she’s had experience dealing with Tom before.”

    A third viewer previously wondered: “The Dingles are thick as [bleep]. Have they forgotten all the [bleep] Tom put Chas through?”

    Emmerdale tonight: Laurel and Gabby proved to be a great team, Vinny and Gabby are loved-up and Tom is still evil

    Emmerdale tonight saw Jai left squirming when he realised Laurel is the one buying his shares in The Hide. Laurel and Gabby wasted no time in rubbing Jai’s nose in their new plans.

    Elsewhere, Vinny sought reassurance from Gabby as their relationship continued to heat up. Also, Belle took serious action against Tom after another showdown.

    It was all happening in Emmerdale on Tuesday August 20.

    Laurel’s plan

    Gabby happily informed Jai she is planning to buy his shares, much to his annoyance.

    Later on, Gabby sent Jai over an email outlining her proposal. He began quizzing her about where she’d sourced the money from. Eventually, Gabby revealed Laurel is the new investor.

    As Jai continued to belittle Laurel, she and Gabby hit back at him, prompting him to eventually back down.

    Jai later signed the contract, but then took a suspicious phone call. He informed the caller that the money would be with them tomorrow before saying Laurel doesn’t know what’s coming. We love plotting Jai… oh no, wait, we don’t!

    Belle buried Piper

    Belle arrived at the vets to collect Piper, but was left heartbroken when Tom revealed Piper had already been discarded of.

    An upset Belle headed home, but Sam and Lydia then told her that Tom had already arranged to bring Piper’s body round. Tom then arrived, insisting Belle hadn’t listened to him and Piper was simply in his car, not in the surgery.

    Later, Tom, Belle, Lydia and Sam proceeded to bury Piper. Belle took the opportunity to reveal what Tom did to Piper at the Welsh cottage, but everyone took Tom’s side, despite Belle’s pleas.

    After another showdown with Tom, Belle headed to the police station. She sought advice about being abused and brought up Claire’s Law, in a bid to find out about Tom’s past.

    What will Belle find out?

    Vinny and Gabby’s romance

    Charity apologised to Vinny for mocking him. She encouraged him to communicate with Gabby and share his insecurities.

    Vinny later headed to The Hide to chat with Gabby about their ‘different experience levels’. A hugely awkward conversation followed, but the couple appeared to settle things.

    In the evening, Gabby went to The Woolpack to celebrate her new business venture. She ordered a bottle of Prosecco as she eagerly waited for Vinny to arrive to meet her. While she was alone at the bar, Tom attempted to chat to Gabby.

    He complimented her, admitting he finds her attractive, before mocking her romance with Vinny. Unimpressed by Tom’s comments, Gabby brushed him off. Vinny arrived just in time, with Gabby passionately kissing him in front of everyone at the pub.

    Also in tonight’s Emmerdale…

    Mandeep told Ella that Liam still thinks about her and quizzed her over rekindling her relationship with him. Ella shot down any possibility of getting back with Liam. She and Manpreet later headed on a girls’ night out together.

  • Emmerdale tonight: Poor Piper’s dead and Sarah’s still not had a ‘proper’ Dingle experience

    Emmerdale tonight: Poor Piper’s dead and Sarah’s still not had a ‘proper’ Dingle experience

    Emmerdale tonight saw the aftermath of Piper’s road ‘accident’ take place. Emmerdale really decided to break all of our hearts and kill off the little pup. We’re never going to forgive them for this one!

    Elsewhere, Sarah was excited to break the law as Charity took her joyriding. However, she soon realised that she’d never committed any sort of crime after all.

    Here’s a recap of everything that happened in Emmerdale on Monday August, 19th.

    One of the most heartbreaking soap deaths ever – RIP Piper

    After purposely running Piper over with Belle’s retro Mini, Tom tried to act like a hero tonight. He relished in telling Belle and Lydia that he’d spent all night trying to save the little pup’s life.

    However, he then confessed that it would be the kindest thing for Piper to be put down due to the extent of her injuries (sob!) We were hoping for some miracle by this point. Surely Emmerdale wouldn’t be so cruel as to kill off our favourite soap pet like… ever?!

    We were wrong though, as Belle entered the consultation room at the vets and said one last goodbye to her forever friend. With Belle unable to watch Piper take her last breath, Tom was the one to stay with Piper at the very end.

    Tom then told Belle that Piper had passed away. Off he then went to take the rest of the day off to process her passing (let’s hope the image of Piper’s adorable little face haunts him until the day he dies!)

    By the end of the ep, Belle gave Tom a piece of her mind after accusing him of killing Piper. She told him that he made her ‘skin crawl’ (we can only agree Belle!) He then told her that she’d regret saying that she doesn’t love him anymore…

    Is it possible for Tom to stoop any lower? We’ve already been traumatised enough by Piper’s death, we can’t take anything else!

    Sarah’s yet to break the law

    Sarah’s been feeling down lately. She’s complained about missing out on doing all of the things others her age do. She especially felt upset when she’d had a few alcoholic drinks at Mandy and Paddy’s wedding, only to be told off by Charity for drinking whilst on medication.

    Hoping to give Sarah a ‘proper’ Dingle experience, Charity surprised her by taking her out joyriding in a fancy car tonight. Sarah was thrilled to be taking the wheels for a spin. She felt like a right little rebel.

    Once they returned back to the village, Sarah’s inner criminal continued to make an appearance. She suggested torching the car so that they wouldn’t be caught for the theft (Sarah really went from 0 to 100 super fast, right?)

    There was one slight problem with this though… the car wasn’t actually stolen. Yes, Sarah found out that she was still on the right side of the law when Vinny put his foot in it and revealed the car to be borrowed off his mate. Awks! We’ve never seen someone so upset about not breaking the law before…

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Jai and Laurel were still bickering like teenagers, unable to remain civil with each other whilst at work in The Hide (anyone else fed up of their same repetitive arguments yet?) Jai then dropped the bombshell that he was selling his shares of The Hide to the highest bidder! We could practically see the cogs whirring in Laurel and Gabby’s minds after this one as Laurel offered to buy Jai’s shares.

    Gabby seemed to be doing hardly any work tonight (no change there) as she flirted with one of the customers at The Hide… in front of Vinny. Vinny’s jealousy was obvious as he quizzed Gabby on ‘Handsome Chris.’ Chill Vinny, this whole thing with Gabby’s only meant to be a bit of ‘fun,’ right?

  • Review of the week: Tom’s shocking revenge, wedding bells, and a secret revealed

    Review of the week: Tom’s shocking revenge, wedding bells, and a secret revealed

    Well! There is a lot to say in this week’s Emmerdale review! Because what a week of Emmerdale that was!

    Even in such an action-packed week, of course one story stands out: Tom’s evil attempt to hurt Belle by hurting Piper!

    It was gasp-out-loud shocking and we are desperately hoping that Piper pulls through.

    And that was only a small part of the dramatic events in this week’s Emmerdale. Read on for the rest of our Emmerdale review of the week to find out what we thought.

    Paddy and Mandy’s super-quick wedding in our Emmerdale review

    After a few hiccups, Paddy and Mandy finally made it to the altar for the second time, 25 years after they first tied the knot. They raced through their vows in record speed so they could get it all done before vicar Charles had to rush off again.

    And that was really the theme of the whole thing – speed. Mandy’s money troubles only emerged a couple of weeks ago, she set up her fin-dom alter-ego Madame Diamante Dales last week, and paid off a chunk of her debts almost immediately.

    The truth is out!

    But within days, her future father-in-law Bear had found out, given her an ultimatum to stop or he would tell Paddy. Mandy agreed, but Bear set her up, exposed her – in a manner of speaking – and the truth was out.

    Paddy decided the wedding was off, but a quick chat with Mandy later and everything was on again.

    Our heads were spinning with the speed of it all. But we can’t deny it’s nice to see Paddy and Mandy happy. Let’s just hope it lasts!

    Sugden secrets

    Normally a newcomer to the village who’s hiding a secret leaves us cold. But to our own surprise, we’re finding John Sugden rather intriguing!

    It’s partly the casting. Oliver Farnworth is bringing hints of both Jack and Robert Sugden to the role, and physically he’s perfect to be a Sugden. (We reserve the right to take all of this back in a future Emmerdale review if John turns out not to be a family member after all!)

    More secrets!

    Anyway, John’s prickly nature and downright hatred of Mack has won us over (come on, Mack’s very annoying!). And then Victoria found his army dog tag. He said he didn’t want to talk about that part of his life, which is interesting in itself.

    But it turned out the dog tag wasn’t even his! Instead it bears the name Aidan Moore. WHO is Aidan? Why does John have his dog tag? We’re definitely invested in this now.

    Vinny and Gabby

    We loved Liv but it’s nice to see Vinny finding some happiness after so much heartache. And who knows, maybe he’ll calm Gabby down a bit. We think this unlikely match could just work.

    Tom and Piper

    OMG, where to begin with this one?! We still feel a bit sick just thinking about it. Having tormented Belle while she was in Scotland with endless messages, her abusive husband Tom was determined to keep up his harassment when she returned.

    First, he bought her a car, which everyone thought was totally lovely – except Belle herself (and Charity, who’s thankfully still suspicious). Belle turned down his gift, but Tom wasn’t finished.

    He let himself into the cottage, bringing flowers and a pint of milk for Belle, and acting like everything was normal. He told Belle they should get back together, and when she said no, he wasn’t happy.

    Tom tried his old tricks, telling Belle she wasn’t strong enough to make such a big decision. He even threatened to take his own life. It was tough to watch! But Belle stayed strong.

    More threats

    As usual, though, Tom had the upper hand – chillingly watching Belle through his hidden cameras. He could even see her undressing in the bathroom and later watched her sleep FROM INSIDE HER HOUSE. We’re into horror movie territory here!

    And that wasn’t even the worst bit. In Friday’s episode, Belle stood up to Tom in public, humiliating him in the pub. And so Tom took terrible revenge.

    He drove off in the Mini he’d bought for Belle and saw Piper in the road. Did he stop to make sure she was safe? No. He. Did. Not.

    Instead, he put his foot down and accelerated towards the helpless pup.

    Did you gasp out loud? We definitely did! Will evil Tom be the hero for saving the pooch’s life, or will he give Belle a shoulder to cry on if Piper doesn’t make it? Either way, it’s not looking good for Belle!

  • Emmerdale tonight: Tom became soap’s worst ever villain when he ran Piper over and Gabby confused us all

    Emmerdale tonight: Tom became soap’s worst ever villain when he ran Piper over and Gabby confused us all

    Emmerdale tonight could possibly have aired the worst scenes in its history. Tom took his anger out on Piper the dog in a way that has gone beyond anything he’s ever done before. We are shook.

    Meanwhile, Gabby gave out confusing signals, but we think she likes Vinny, and Aaron’s pleased for them, so that’s all good.

    There was plenty to talk about in Friday August 16 episode of Emmerdale.

    Peeping Tom the monster

    Let’s talk about Tom first shall we? Actually let’s organise a mob to go and get him and make him suffer.

    Just when we thought he couldn’t get any worse than secretly putting cameras in Belle’s house to spy on her getting changed and sleeping, he proved us wrong. He went further than he’s ever been before and he actually hurt Piper.

    Belle decided to brave it out and go to Sam’s birthday drinks in the Woolpack. But lo and behold, Tom was there waiting. He tried to play the nice guy, but soon when she rejected him – and his car – again he grabbed her tightly by the wrist and became menacing. Of course, only very quietly so no one could hear him.

    But then Belle flipped and shouted at him to leave her alone and get out. Tom stood up and made a big show of giving in to her demands leaving the punters in no doubt about who was in the wrong here.

    It soon became clear why Tom had been so adamant about Belle taking the car – he’d put a GPS tracker in it. Of course he had.

    But as he was driving it off to sell it on, he came across Piper in the road. He didn’t stop and rescue her, no, no, he put his foot down and drove straight at her. He ran Piper over.

    HE RAN PIPER OVER. We cannot. We actually cannot deal with him. WHAT. A. MONSTER.

    Later he was seen with the dog wrapped in a blanket running to the vets. Belle hurried after him as he promised to do all he could to save Piper’s life.

    If that dog does not make it, we swear we will not be responsible for our actions.

    What does Gabby want?

    Gabby was honoured Vinny’s first time was with her, but she just wants to keep it ‘fun’. Vinny seemed unclear what ‘fun’ was – and honestly, she confused us too. Not casual, apparently. So what?

    Well certainly not doing things as a couple, because she was very reluctant to attend Sam’s birthday drinks with him. But was more than happy to have round two later on.

    Meanwhile, Aaron told Vinny he was happy for him and glad he was moving on and it was all really lovely. As long as Gabby makes her mind up about what she wants, we see no trouble brewing here…

    Sarah was fed-up in Emmerdale tonight

    Charity was furious to find Sarah hungover having slept in a car at the garage. She went mad telling Sarah she knows the risk of boozing. But Sarah is feeling fed-up. And we can’t blame her really – what does she have going on? An apprenticeship at the garage, no real friends and no romantic prospects, it’s not exactly scintillating for an 19-year old, is it?

    So Charity promised her a day filled with excitement – and she didn’t mean Sam’s birthday party.

    Mandy and Paddy were making their presence felt in Emmerdale tonight

    Liam did not get much sleep after Mandy and Paddy’s bedroom Olympics. They ended up back at Liam’s place after Nicola chucked them out of the B&B for being too loud and disturbing the other guests. How classy.

    Meanwhile, Liam’s space was well and truly invaded when Mandy announced she was moving in and giving the place a leopard print makeover. And she’s only going to charge him mates’ rates for her interior design skills. Lucky, lucky Liam.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Nate tried to make friends with John, who made it clear as well as family, he also doesn’t need friends. Honestly, we’d have stopped bothering ages ago. But Victoria and Nate are both still pushing and finally got him to accept a drink in the pub later on. Small victories and all that.

    Soon he even challenged Mack to a game of darts, which got fraught when Mack bet £100 he’d win. He lost.

    Elsewhere, Amelia is fast becoming one of the most unlikeable people in the village. After laying into Noah last week and sticking by Samson, who’s done nothing for her ever apart from reject her and be mean, she laid into Belle tonight.

    Without knowing anything at all about the situation, she stuck her nose in where it really wasn’t wanted and gave Belle what for for standing up to Tom. Apparently Belle was too harsh and Tom’s a good guy.

    What it’s got to do with her, we really don’t know. But once again, Amelia’s behaviour has left us baffled. Has she ever spoken to Tom? Does she know anything about him? Is she developing a crush – is that where this is going? Maybe if sees what he’s really like, she’ll have the judgemental frown wiped off her face.
