ITV Emmerdale spoilers tease ‘controlling’ Tom King lashes out at Belle Dingle on wedding day
Emmerdale spoilers for next week on the ITV soap confirm trouble for Tom King and Belle Dingle
Emmerdale’s Tom King turns on his bride Belle Dingle more than once next week on the ITV soap, amid fans fearing a dark storyline is ahead.
The pair reunited last year, years after they were first together as teens. A couple of instances have left fans concerned for Belle though, fearing Tom could be dangerous and that an abuse storyline could be planned by bosses.
Just months ago Belle covered up the fact that Tom turned violent and shoved her, causing her to hit her head after he proposed to her and didn’t get the answer he wanted. The pair have since moved past it, but moments across the last few months have seen her constantly having to reassure him and him constantly questioning her loyalty.
As well as making digs at her and her family, he’s shown signs he can be controlling and fans are worried. Next week’s episodes will likely only heighten this concern, as a number of incidents see him calling her out for no real reason.
Seemingly paranoid, he first struggles with Belle’s decision not to take his surname after they are married. Taking offence, he makes it clear it’s weighing on his mind and Belle ends up agreeing to change her name for him.
After that obstacle, Belle’s emotional ahead of her big day due to the absence of both her parents with father Zak unable to attend, following their rushed wedding plans. Belle’s mother passed away a few years ago, so to not have her dad there too leaves her considering cancelling the whole thing.
Tom is left hurt and storms off in a sulk, reminding her neither of his parents will be there either after both of their deaths. When the wedding day arrives, Tom is still ignoring her so she fears it’s off the table.
His uncle Jimmy King tries to give Tom perspective and soon Belle’s relieved when Tom texts to confirm the wedding is still on, but there’s more drama ahead. The Dingle family’s antics throughout the day leave Tom frustrated, and there’s some hiccups during the ceremony.
As they become man and wife, things go smoothly, but the Dingle traditions leave him annoyed once more. It’s when newcomer Ruby arrives though and is intent on causing drama that things turn chaotic, and Tom fumes at Belle for her family ruining their big day, despite her having zero control over their behaviour – so does Belle need to watch out?
