Last night in Emmerdale (Thursday, May 2), Tom continued to control Belle after they went out for an attempt at a romantic meal.
Belle was left feeling awful though when Tom made her feel to blame for their awful night together.
Emmerdale fans have now begged for Belle to wake up and call it a day with her abusive husband.

Emmerdale: Tom continues to abuse Belle
Viewers of the ITV soap Emmerdale will know that Tom has been abusing his wife Belle for quite some time.
He’s installed a puppy cam and tracking app to keep an eye on Belle, whilst faking a burglary and attacking her friend Vinny out of jealousy.
With Tom trying to control Belle, things have been growing more tense between the couple.
Last night, Belle and Tom went out for a romantic meal but came home rowing. Tom blamed Belle for how badly the night went, as she picked up on him being rude to a waiter.
With Tom annoyed with a couple sitting next to them, he made out that he didn’t want to complain as to not to upset Belle.
Belle then felt awful for the way the night had gone, made to feel like everything was her fault once more.

Emmerdale fans demand that Belle takes action against Tom
Belle is starting to feel really uncomfortable around Tom, constantly walking on eggshells around him as to not upset him. Fans have now taken to social media to demand that she takes action and leaves Tom before things get even more dangerous.
One fan commented: “How does Belle put up with *him?* It’s draining even for us.”
A second person added: “Wish Belle would wake the [bleep] up already about Tom, stop pandering to him & get away from him.”
A third person shared: “Why doesn’t Belle tell that Tom to do one? Arggggh, what an obnoxious [bleep.]”

What’s to come for Belle and Tom?
Coming up on Emmerdale, Belle believes that she might be pregnant but is relieved when she receives a negative pregnancy test.
Tom’s not happy with the result though, really wanting a baby. But, will he put pressure on Belle to try for a baby?
Tonight’s dramatic installment of Emmerdale saw Vinny Dingle left for dead after an attack by Tom King. Although Vinny will survive the outburst the danger certainly isn’t over as Tom is determined to get rid of him…
Belle’s abusive husband hit out at her best friend as he could no longer control his jealousy. But what happens next?

Tom attacks Vinny in Emmerdale
Although he was away on a course during the Emmerdale episode on Thursday April 18, Tom still couldn’t stop himself keeping tabs on his wife. He was watching her every move on the puppy cam and was furious when Vinny arrived to keep her company.
Tom laughed and ridiculed Vinny as he made a confession about being a virgin to Belle. But he was laughing on the other side of his face when Belle turned the puppy cam off.
Furious Tom grabbed his keys, jumped in the car and sped home. He was burning with anger when he burst into the house to find neither Belle nor Vinny there.
Trying to track Belle on her phone, he found he couldn’t even find her that way. Meanwhile, Belle and Vinny were on a walk together and she was explaining her phone was broken. Vinny offered to take a look and fix it.
Tom soon found Belle’s tracker spring back into life and headed to its location of the scrapyard. There he discovered the phone by no Belle or Vinny.
When Vinny then arrived back, Tom panicked and hit him over the head with a paperweight to avoid being caught snooping. Vinny fell straight to the floor, bleeding and unconscious.

Is Vinny dead in Emmerdale?
Tom checked his pulse and worried Vinny was dead. But instead of calling an ambulance he quickly wiped all his fingerprints from the scene and fled.
Before Tom left, he apologised to Vinny, saying he hadn’t meant to kill him.
But fortunately for Tom, Vinny is not dead. He will survive and next week is even up and about, albeit rather battered and bruised.
And as Belle decides to care for him, Tom’s jealousy rises once more – meaning Vinny is in danger again.

What happens next week?
Tom goes out of his way to belittle Vinny and make him feel bad about himself. He remains determined to get rid of Vinny from Belle’s life once and for all.
Deciding perhaps violence isn’t the answer, Tom cosies up to Vinny instead – keep your enemies close! Belle is suspicious of his motives and knows there will be more too it.
She’s right, of course. Tom ends up suggesting he help Vinny get a girlfriend. Tom is quite excited at the prospect of sorting the love match. He soon sets his sights on Gabby as Vinny’s perfect woman.
As he organises a drink for them however, it seems Tom hits it off with Gabby more than Vinny does. So when Belle arrives she’s not pleased to see Tom flirting and enjoying Gabby’s company. Is Tom deliberately trying to make her jealous?
And what does this mean for Vinny? If Tom’s girlfriend plan doesn’t work out, he’s still going to want rid of Vinny another way. It leaves Vinny in danger because we know Tom doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants…
As the wedding approaches, Belle’s busy ignoring the many, MANY red flags her future husband is waving from making all the arrangements for their big day on his own, sarky comments about her dress, and even refusing to have the reception in the Woolpack.
We’re pretty confident this marriage is going to end in tears.
And it won’t be the first one to hit the rocks in Emmerdale.
Here are five more couples we reckon should NEVER have tied the knot.
Nate and Tracy had a surprise wedding (Credit: ITV)
Tracy Metcalfe and Nate Robinson
Tracy and Nate were quite cute at first and when they welcomed baby Frankie they even weathered the storm of Tracy’s crippling post-natal depression. But then Nate had a one-night stand out of the blue and the romance fell apart. Tracy went off to start a new life without her man and even met someone else.
Until she and Nate rekindled their relationship secretly and got married! Clearly this was an enormous mistake though, because they’ve not even made it to their first anniversary and Tracy’s already embarked on a torrid affair with Nate’s Uncle Caleb and called time on the whole thing.

Rhona Goskirk and Pierce Harris
Remember when Rhona and Paddy were married and he cheated on her with Leo’s classroom assistant, Tess Harris? And then Tess died and the whole thing got really complicated when, after Rhona and Paddy split, she got together with Tess’s ex-husband, Pierce.
Hmm, yes, that didn’t sound like a wise plan from the start, did it?
And Pierce soon showed his true abusive colours. In a horrific twist to the story, he raped Rhona on their wedding day. Pierce then showed up again, killed Rhona’s new fella Graham Foster and kidnapped her best friend Vanessa, but Rhona managed to outwit him – phew – and he was banged up, where he died.
Bernice and Lawrence’s marriage was doomed from the start (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Bernice Blackstock and Lawrence White
On paper, Bernice and Lawrence’s relationship seemed the ideal arrangement. Yes, Lawrence was struggling with his sexuality, and yes Bernice didn’t love him, but it worked for them both. Well, that’s what they told themselves. In reality, Bernice was enjoying a super steamy affair with Andy Sugden.
When she found out the truth about Lawrence, thanks to his old flame Ronnie, Bernice stole a digger and destroyed The Mill. You know what they say about a woman scorned!
Chas said yes to Dan’s proposal (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
Chas Dingle and Dan Spencer
We reckon this has to be Emmerdale’s shortest marriage. Chas tied the knot with Dan Spencer after a whirlwind romance. She was on the rebound after splitting from her secret lover, Cameron Murray – who was with Debbie Dingle at the time. Chas and Dan got married but Chas’s heart wasn’t in it.
Meanwhile, her evil ex, Carl King, was out for revenge and was growing increasingly obsessed with Chas. He found photos on Chas’s phone of her and Cameron and vowed to tell Debbie everything unless Chas and Cameron coughed up. Then he did an about turn and begged Chas to run away with him. On Chas’s wedding day, she agreed to leave with Carl – while planning to escape alone.
She almost got away with it, but Carl stopped her and then attempted to rape her. Chas whacked him over the head and thought she’d killed him – in fact, she even went to prison for a while. But it turned out the real killer was Cameron. Not surprisingly, Chas’s marriage to Dan didn’t last!

Charity Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd
We chose Mack, but Charity’s got a LOT of failed marriages under her belt and frankly we could just as easily have chosen Charity and Jai, or Charity and Chris Tate, or Charity and Tom King! Anyway, Charity’s latest husband is Mackenzie Boyd and we’re not sure there’s ever been a more toxic relationship. Their ‘romance’ began when Charity was missing girlfriend Vanessa, which was bad enough.
Then there was the whole business with Mack sleeping with Chloe and getting her pregnant. Baby Reuben was born on Charity’s wedding day – which, by the way, meant she and Mack tied the knot dressed as members of the A Team. They split up, Mack got engaged to Chloe, and Charity slept with Caleb -who’s not her brother or even her cousin, but sort of feels like he is.
Then there was a car accident, where Mack saved Charity instead of Chloe, and a kidnap, which left Chloe’s dad Harry shot dead at the hands of Charity, and Mack agreeing never to see Reuben again in order to stop Charity going to jail. Still with us? Now Charity’s got PTSD after the shooting and Mack’s off nicking cars with Aaron. This is definitely one marriage that NEVER should have happened!

Magic moments!
Luckily for Belle, Tom’s more than thrilled with the whole thing and quickly says yes!

Merry grumpmess!
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the village, things aren’t going quite so smoothly. Bear finds himself disappointed and Aaron is irritated – what else is new?!
In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale (Friday, October 27), Craig was seen lying dead in a field at the end of the episode.
This scene sparks a Whodunnit storyline in which Lydia attempts to work out who killed him.
A new Emmerdale fan theory now suggests that Belle has killed Craig after suffering a schizophrenic episode.

Emmerdale: Belle wants to make Craig pay
This week, Belle teamed up with Mandy and Vinny to teach Craig a lesson.
She then attended one of Craig’s work talks and pretended to be a guest at the event.
When it was time to ask questions, Belle started quizzing Craig on Lydia’s rape in front of everyone.
Craig later urged security to remove the Dingles from the building before later turning up at the Woolpack and accusing Belle of deformation.
Tonight, Belle wanted to make Craig pay and was seen staring at her bleeding hand on the night of Craig’s death.
But, could Belle be Craig’s murderer? Could she have wanted to protect Lydia so much that she had Craig killed?

Emmerdale fan theory: Belle murdered Craig?
Last night (Thursday, October 26), Belle opened up about the impact Lisa’s rape had on her growing up. This contributed to her passion for bringing Craig down.
Now, a new fan theory predicts that Belle could’ve heard Lisa’s voice during a schizophrenic episode. She could have then been encouraged to kill Craig.
My new guess is that Belle runs into a Craig who has escaped. He threatens her and she manages to murder him with Lisa’s voice guiding her, but the trauma causes her to forget. She can eventually plead diminished capacity and Caleb’s lawyer can get her off. #emmerdale
The fan theory reads: “My new guess is that Belle runs into Craig who has escaped. He threatens her and she manages to murder him with Lisa’s voice guiding her, but the trauma causes her to forget. She can eventually plead diminished capacity and Caleb’s lawyer can get her off.”
Is Belle telling the full story? (Credit: ITV)
Could Belle be Craig’s killer?
Belle’s killed before so she’s more than capable of killing Craig should she want to. And, she’s already made it clear to Craig how much she wants justice for Lydia.
Next week, a flashback shows that Tom proposed to Belle on the night of Craig’s death. But, why was Belle’s hand bleeding? Is she telling the full story? Could Belle be Craig’s killer?
