Emmerdale fans have “worked out” how Tom King is going to die.
Over the past few weeks, Tom’s (James Chase) abusive behaviour towards his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) has escalated. During Friday’s instalment (March 15) of the ITV soap, Belle was scrambling to finish a work proposal for one of her clients.
After hearing Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Nicola’s (Nicola Wheeler) anguish over not being able to visit Angelica (Rebecca Bakes) at her secure children’s home in Bristol, Tom offered to watch his cousins while they made the eight-hour round trip.

Belle was hesitant, but agreed after seeing how much it meant to Jimmy. Wanting to finish the proposal, Belle informed Tom that she was going to work elsewhere.
But Tom managed to guilt-trip Belle into staying, manipulating her into believing that wasn’t the deal they made. After Belle returned, she discovered a milkshake had been spilt on her laptop.
She desperately tried to get the device to work, but it appeared to be completely broken. Although it could have been one of the boys, it was likely Tom as he attempts to tighten his grip on Belle.
With Belle’s hopes of finishing the proposal diminished, fans headed straight to social media and predicted a dark outcome for Tom – at the hand of the rest of the Dingles.
“The sooner the Dingles discover Tom’s treatment of Belle the better,” wrote one viewer. Another agreed: “I can’t wait till cain finds out about Tom abuse of belle down the line of the storyline. Hope cain buries him and put concrete in the hole the b***ard.”
A third penned: “can’t someone drop a big f**k off grand piano on Tom’s head.” A fourth added: “Tom needs a proper punch in the face.”
Another declared: “Tom really is a vile t**t.” Echoing this, a sixth said: “Can’t wait for everyone to find out about Tom poor bell deserves better it’s such a shame.”
Tom’s coercive behaviour only gets worse next week when he attempts to sabotage Belle even more. When Belle accepts the job with Suzy, Tom is angered and things take a dark turn at Marlon’s 50th birthday party.
