Tom King (James Chase) was revealed to have survived an axe to his back in tonight’s dramatic episode of Emmerdale,
Lydia urged Sam and Vinny to find Tom and stop him from going to the police about Belle’s actions, but Tom was found collapsed by Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), who called an ambulance and alerted Jimmy King (Nick Miles).
Vinny and Sam headed to the hospital, feigning concern, while Lydia tried and failed to stop Belle from rushing there herself. Tom was said to have a collapsed lung and internal bleeding, and had been taken for a scan.
Belle arrived at the hospital as Tom’s fate was still hanging in the balance, and she came to a chilling realisation. If Tom were to die, that would be a life she had taken. If he survived, he would make Belle pay. Either way, her life would be in ruins.
“He’s won, hasn’t he?” Belle declared. So, what will happen to Belle? Will she be jailed for acting in self-defence, or can the Dingles protect her?
