EMMERDALE fans have been appalled by a recent storyline on the soap, and are now begging producers to bin it altogether after becoming frustrated while watching one character suffer. Tom King has been abusing his wife Belle Dingle, and things have escalated in recent weeks as he went from belittling her to all out violence. The tearful woman attempted to stand up for herself and kicked him out of the house after he brutally punched her , but Tom managed to worm his way back into her life.
The vet soon convinced his wife she was the one really at fault as he began manipulating her to think she wasn't taking her medication. When he mocked the anniversary of her mother's death, Belle finally snapped and pushed him to the ground in front of other villagers, leaving him with scrapes and cuts. Horrified by herself, she called a mental health crisis team and ended up checking herself into an assessment centre overnight.
In tonight's installment of the ITV soap the confused woman tried to make sense of what was happening between her and Tom, telling a crisis counsellor that the breakdown in their marriage was all her fault. She seems to have fallen for his gaslighting ways and kept insisting that her husband is her soulmate and she doesn't know why she tries to push him away. Viewers had been hoping that her time away from home would make her come to her senses, and were left frustrated to see that Belle is no closer to escaping from Tom's clutches.
