Emmerdale fans are worried for Belle Dingle as they questioned Tom King’s “suspicious” behaviour.
During Monday’s episode (January 15) of the ITV soap, Tom (James Chase) wondered why they were waiting to set a date for their wedding. “What are we waiting for,” he asked as Belle pointed out that they’re not waiting, but also not rushing.
Tom added: “Let me know when you change your mind and we can fix a date at least.” He then invited Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) to a vet social, which was taking place the next day.

Later, Belle asked Tom for his opinion on her outfit for the event. She walked downstairs in a white dress as Tom branded her “so beautiful”.
He said: “I like everything. But I can’t risk someone seeing you and whisking you away before I’ve doubled the rings.” Despite Belle’s assurance that she would never let that happen, Tom pushed for her to set a wedding date.
“Please fix a date with me now. Please. I want you to marry me. I can’t wait anymore,” he insisted. Belle eventually caved to Tom’s demands, agreeing to set a date.
His behaviour didn’t sit well with viewers, who immediately shared their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter. One wrote: “Please let Belle be happy with Tom. I’m uneasy about him, I hope I’m wrong.”
A second declared: “Belle is starting to be controlled by Tom.” Another agreed: “Tom’s obviously just an insecure man-child… Belle needs to get the hell away from him.”
A fourth weighed in: “There’s something definitely suspicious about Tom. I keep waiting for him to explode! I think he’ll be a violent control freak once he’s got that ring on Belle’s finger.”
Fans will remember that Tom’s dark side crept out last year when Tom originally proposed to Belle. At their home, Tom spiralled over the fact Belle hadn’t said immediately said yes.
Pleading for him to calm down, Belle reached for his arm, but Tom flung her off before pushing her. Belle fell to the floor and hit her head on the side of the coffee table as blood poured from the wound.
