Fans of Emmerdale have theorised that Amelia will be the one to bring Tom’s reign of terror to an end – by killing him. Tom and Amelia’s relationship remains strong, in spite of her witnessing his dark side for the first time last week.
This came amid an explosive bonfire night for the pair, in which Tom snapped after supposedly being victimised by the Dingles yet again. Realising that they had made a version of him to burn on the village fire, Tom exploded – blaming Amelia for dragging him there in the first place.
Amelia was left shocked by what she saw in Tom, and immediately began having second thoughts about her man. However, these doubts were short-lived – as a visit from uncle Jimmy soon brought her back around. And, as Tom made his excuses, it seemed as though Amelia was firmly back where he wants her.
But for how long?

Emmerdale fans predict that Amelia will kill Tom
Fans of the soap have predicted that the worm will eventually turn, and Amelia will kill Tom. Theorising how the story might end, fans took to a Reddit thread to share their theories. And one viewer wondered whether Amelia might be the one who kills Tom – in defence of herself or Belle.
“Tom will either attack either Belle and Amelia. Amelia will strike back and kill Tom. Afterwards, Amelia will be convicted and sent to prison. Two people gone in one incident. It ends Tom and Belle’s story, and gets rid of Amelia while technically leaving the door open.”
“Also leaving Esther for Sam and Lydia to raise,” pointed out another fan in the comments below.
However, others aren’t convinced that this would be the best end to Tom’s story – which many feel has already been reduced to a farce.
“That wouldn’t be a good message to end this story on. Too much of it has already been sensationalised,” pointed out one fan.
“I do not even care how they end this exhausting (and exhausted) storyline at this point, as long as the show does finally end it,” said another.

Emmerdale has announced when Belle and Tom King’s abuse storyline will conclude – and now fans hope he goes to prison.
Fans have been hoping that the storyline will end for quite some time, becoming frustrated with the endless cycle of Tom getting away with his behaviour.
But, there’s finally some hope! The end is nigh. And, viewers want justice for Belle, hoping that it comes in one form in particular!

Emmerdale confirms end for Tom and Belle storyline
The episode will see the abuse storyline reach its end although the final outcome of the storyline is still being kept a secret for now. But, a ‘comeuppance’ of sorts and ‘closure’ for Belle is certainly on the cards.
Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw shared: “When we first embarked on this journey we knew we wanted to show domestic abuse, coercive control and manipulation in all its guises.
“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.”

Fans beg for justice for Belle in the form of Tom prison punishment
With a comeuppance for Tom promised, fans are hoping that this will bring with it justice for Belle. Viewers really want Tom to face up to and pay for his treatment of Belle (and, we do too!)
Tom’s punishment has been a long time coming, but it looks to finally be just around the corner! (We all cheered.)
But, whilst Tom could reach his comeuppance in several ways, most fans are hoping for Tom to get sent to prison.
When asked by Emmerdale Insider whether Tom should go to prison or be killed, 71% of people said that Tom must go to prison and pay for his crimes, providing justice for Belle.
Fans on X also expressed a similar desire. One person said: “I’ll say it again. They’d better not just kill Tom off! We need to see the smug look wiped from his face as he’s led down to a prison cell!”
Another person added: “Lydia deserved justice for Craig. He should be in prison. Belle deserved justice for Tom. He should be in prison. These storylines should showcase justice not death as the answer.”
A third viewer finished: “I don’t believe for one minute that Tom was attacked, he’s just wanting attention coz Jimmy didn’t give him any when he said he was getting nasty comments online!! He needs to be put in prison asap!!”
Well, a comeuppance is coming one way or another. But, which form will this take?

Belle Dingle in Emmerdale has been suffering dreadful abuse from husband Tom since before their wedding early this year.
But now Emmerdale has confirmed her ordeal is almost over.
Fans will be relieved to know the show is preparing to tell Belle and Tom’s final chapter. And there isn’t long to wait.

Belle’s bravery
Belle bravely reported Tom to the police last month. It came after she snapped following months of domestic abuse and coercive controlling behaviour at his hands. Belle was so terrified he would kill her, she hit him with an axe.
And though Tom’s been twisting and manipulating those around him, including girlfriend Amelia and uncle Jimmy, it seems his mask is slipping.

Special Emmerdale episode for Belle
Emmerdale will air a special hour-long episode this 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 domestic-abuse 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.”
Real-life stories just like Belle in Emmerdale
Because the episode tells real-life stories, the writers at Emmerdale have 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.”

A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that Jimmy will see the light about Tom King’s awful behaviour – when he witnesses him hurting Amelia.
This comes after Tom briefly showed his true colours to Amelia earlier in the week, snapping at her as his frustration with the Dingles grew. Tom may have faked a beating (thanks to his eager-to-please solicitor), but the Dingles’ victimisation is very real.

Emmerdale: Tom’s treatment of Amelia
As they unveiled a ‘Guy’ for the bonfire that was dressed just like him, Tom saw red. He snapped at the Dingles and then, as Amelia tried to calm him down, he exploded at her too.
Amelia was shocked by Tom’s behaviour and, for a while, it looked as though the penny had finally dropped. However, last night (Wednesday, October 7), she let Jimmy talk her back on side – and accepted Tom’s apology.
With Amelia and Jimmy still firmly in his corner, Tom is doing a sterling job of keeping his supporters on track. But how will Jimmy find out when the truth does come out?

Emmerdale fans predict that Jimmy will witness Tom hurting Amelia
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts. And one viewer wondered whether Jimmy might get to see Tom’s abusive tendencies firsthand.
“I’m beginning to think that Jimmy will catch Tom beating her up, and that’s how it ends,” suggested one fan.
However, when Tom is finally caught out, one thing’s for sure – Amelia and Jimmy are going to regret their naivety where he’s concerned.
“If something does happen to Amelia I hope Jimmy realises that it’s his enabling that led to it because he practically guilt tripped that girl into getting back with Tom,” said one fan.
“Even now Jimmy isn’t convinced about Tom. C’mon Jimmy open your eyes,” begged another.
“Beginning to think Belle had a real premonition of Tom killing Amelia,” another viewer suggested.
Will Jimmy and Amelia see the light before it’s too late?
Emmerdale tonight dealt us another blow when Jimmy and Amelia took Tom’s side after his outburst last night. Even Rodney was sympathetic to Tom – enough is enough.
Meanwhile, Billy was forced to confess to Dawn and sulked when she took control of the situation. But will he go along with her plan?
Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday November 6)
Jimmy once again took Tom’s side (Credit: ITV)
Tom manipulated again
Jimmy is STILL sympathising with Tom. He’s STILL on Tom’s side. Even Rodney offered Tom some support. What is wrong with them?
Jimmy then tentatively asked if Amelia was all right and suggested she was quite upset about the night before. Tom turned it round (again) and said he knew he shouldn’t have got angry. He manipulated the situation suggesting he now felt like Jimmy and Amelia were now turning on him. Jimmy, of course, rushed to insist he was still on his side. Sigh. And the most stupid man in the village award goes to…
Amelia was a bit tougher to crack. Jimmy went in to bat for Tom when he saw her and said he was worried about Tom and there’s no way Tom would ever want to purposely upset her.
Amelia then relented and let Tom come over. He did his best puppy dog eyes and apologised for overreacting. He’d apparently been awake all night worried about Amelia. And she actually bought it and even ended up feeling sorry for him.
We cannot take much more of this.
Furious Dawn stepped in to sort Billy’s problems (Credit: ITV)
Billy was given what-for in Emmerdale tonight
Billy was training and being miserable, avoiding Dawn and trying to keep his secret. When he returned from his run, Dawn was frantic, saying Clemmie and Lucas were missing. She has looked everywhere and they were nowhere to be seen.
Billy refused to call the police and confessed it was to do with Jade. Confused Dawn didn’t have time to press as Clemmie and Lucas ran round the corner. Jade didn’t have them and now Dawn wanted answers. Whoops Billy!
So he then confessed what he’s been up to. Dawn couldn’t believe he would be this stupid. Doesn’t know her husband very well, does she?!
Dawn then called Ross over to sort out the mess. She has a plan – they are going to fix the fight. She didn’t give Billy a choice, she said he was the one taking the fall and he had to drop.
Billy was not happy and decided it was because Dawn had feelings for Ross and wanted him to lose. But Dawn gave it to him with both barrels – she wasn’t messing and we quite like this side of her.
But something tells us Billy’s ego is so bruised he’s not giving this fight up without, er, a fight.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Chas had a wobble, but Liam reassured her (Credit: ITV)
Liam and Chas were loved-up
Liam crept in to the Woolpack back room with flowers for Chas. Half of him is ready to throw caution to the wind and tell people – he’s even bought new aftershave and a new shirt for the occasion.
Things still seem a bit awkward between them as they started kissing. And then Chas suddenly pulled away.
As they sat together talking things through, Liam said he would wait as long as she wanted to. But Chas is worried about what she looks like after the cancer surgery. Liam insisted there was no pressure at all, he was here for her. They both confessed to feeling safe with each other, but Chas still isn’t ready. Liam was very understanding and they did end up in bed. It feels like there might be a real future for these two – if Emmerdale don’t go and mess yet another couple up, that is.
John and Aaron talked, but it didn’t go well (Credit: ITV)
Aaron and John fell out
John and Aaron still need to talk, but John was avoiding it. However he eventually plucked up the courage to ask Aaron to open up to him. But Aaron was defensive and insisted he couldn’t deal with this now.
He said he did care about John and wanted him, but didn’t want to talk about his past. John just couldn’t shake that niggling feeling though, and pushed a bit too hard about Aaron’s feelings – insulting Robert in the process. Talking really isn’t their strong point, is it?

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.
Tom’s terrible behaviour is bothering fans (Credit: ITV)
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?
Good riddance to a bad plot (Credit: ITV)
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.
Jessie and Marlon’s wedding day fizzled out – like their marriage (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
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!”
Where did Jacob and Victoria go? Nowhere (Credit: ITV)
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.
Rhona fought and fought for Ivy, now where is she? (Credit: ITV)
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.

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.
Amelia was devastated at Tom’s harsh tirade (Credit: ITV)
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?
Ross and Mack will never be friends (Credit: ITV)
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?
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Liam won’t get rid of Ella easily (Credit: ITV)
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.
Will John take Victoria’s advice? (Credit: ITV)
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Will the next attack on Tom be the last? (Credit: ITV/YouTube)
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.
