Spoilers have revealed that one character is left devastated amid a proposal twist. Also in the Dales, the village is set for a shock celebrity cameo but is it all as it seems?

Elsewhere, heavily-pregnant Dawn Fletcher goes into labour while Kim Tate sparks concern with a shocking bombshell, which could leave her marriage in tatters. Here’s the biggest moments ahead on Emmerdale next week…

Character devastated amid proposal twist and celebrity cameo

Soap fans will recall Tom King recently proposed to Belle Dingle, who gently turned down his proposal as it felt too soon and she pointed out it felt bad timing with everything going on with Lydia Dingle following her devastating rape. However, Tom didn’t take the news well and as Belle reassured him she wasn’t “saying no”, he attempted to storm out.

Belle tried to stop Tom from leaving but he violently pushed Belle, shouting “leave me alone” as Belle hit her head on the table, leaving the scared character bleeding. Tom was quick to apologise, insisting he would never do it again and he’d never want to hurt her, begging for another chance to which Belle insisted it was “okay”, saying: “I’ve already forgotten it”.

Belle has failed to tell her family any of the worrying details, pretending that Tom took her proposal rejection well and that it had made them closer. In upcoming scenes, Nicola King organises the Christmas Fair and announces surprise guests for the event.

Meanwhile, Belle is intrigued as Tom announces he has a secret plan to make her Christmas a memorable one but he soon beats himself up over his failed plans. The following week, Tom is thrilled by the imminent arrival of Nicola’s special guests. Elsewhere, after hearing that Tom is a massive Torvill and Dean fan, Chas Dingle suggests to Belle that today would be perfect for a proposal. However, back at the fair, Tom’s devastated. What’s happened and why is Tom so upset?

Dawn Fletcher goes into labour

There’s more drama to come in the village as elsewhere over at the Christmas fair, heavily-pregnant Dawn Fletcher’s contractions start… Dawn is expecting her first child with husband Billy Fletcher. Dawn already has Lucas Taylor from a previous relationship and she recently adopted Clemmie, who is Lucas’ half sister.

Kim Tate sparks concern with bombshell

Soap watchers will recall that Kim Tate’s horse was responsible for evil rapist Craig Reed’s murder during the Dingle whodunnit last month and she worked with Cain Dingle to cover up details of the death. And in upcoming scenes, Kim’s husband Will Taylor is stunned when Kim confirms that she played a part in Craig’s death.

Kim tells her side of the story, explaining what happened, but Will is left feeling utterly betrayed by his wife. Will is left with a huge decision to make when Kim begs him to keep her killer reveal a secret.
