Tom King hatches secret plan to give Belle Dingle a huge Christmas surprise in Emmerdale
Viewers have suspected Thomas King may hurt Belle Dingle as his behaviour gets out of control.
CHRISTMAS is fast approaching and Tom King decides to treat his girlfriend Belle Dingle to a huge surprise.
Unfortunately, things rarely go according to plan in Emmerdale and he comes close to lashing out against his other half.
Thomas King (portrayed by James Chase) returned to the eponymous ITV village earlier this year and, after bumping into Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), he decided to rekindle their relationship.
However, red flags have started to pop up left, right and centre as Tom slowly showed a nastier side of his personality.
Viewers of the Yorkshire-based drama have been fearing for Belle’s safety in recent weeks as Thomas once physically lashed out against her.
At the time of his outburst, Tom was keen to take his relationship with Belle to the next level and walk down the aisle – but she refused to throw caution to the wind and told him she’d like to wait.
Next week, Tom has very little time left before Christmas and he decides to hatch a plan to surprise Belle.
Belle is intrigued as Tom announces that he has a secret plan to make her Christmas a memorable one.
However, Tom soon beats himself up over his failed plans as his aunt Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) announces surprise guests for the Christmas fair.
Could he retaliate with another angry outburst?
Will Belle suffer and pay for Nicola’s decision-making?
As mentioned above, fans of the Yorkshire-based program have predicted a sinister twist for Belle and Tom’s relationship after witnessing strange behaviour from him.
Thomas seemed to spiral following the off-screen death of his mother Colleen King, which he initially kept a secret from Belle.
This has led many soap viewers to theorise an even darker storyline for Thomas.
“I’m starting to wonder if Tom murdered his mum”, one of them notably penned on X.
“Tom murdered his mum maybe? Belle watch out you’re in trouble!”, another echoed.
A third agreed: “Tom has definitely murdered his mum … why else would he be so shifty? Or maybe the lad who beat him up??”
What secrets is Tom keeping?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
