Relationships and situations are at crisis point in next week’s Emmerdale, with Belle Dingle (Eden Tayor-Draper) traumatised as she takes drastic action behind abusive husband Tom King’s (James Chase) back, while Moira (Natalie J Robb) spirals as her fears for jailed son Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) deepen.

Knowing how Tom would react, frightened Belle is full of anxiety as she tells her midwife that she would like a termination.

Attempting to get to an appointment for the abortion proves traumatic for Belle as Tom has eyes on her at all times.

Devastated by what has become of their marriage, Belle makes her decision – but will Tom discover the truth and put her through even more hell?

Matty is also suffering as he remains in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, with the real fear that his trans identity will be found out by prisoners who may violently attack him.

Determined to liberate her son, Moira closes in on Samson (Sam Hall) to force him to exonerate Matty but things don’t go to plan.

And her marriage to Cain (Jeff Hordley) soon crashes onto the rocks when they have the row to end all rows…
