Emmerdale fans have been concerned for Belle Dingle (played by Eden Taylor Draper) since she married manipulative Tom King (James Chase) earlier this year.
He is trying to isolate her from her loved ones and is trying to control his wife’s life piece by piece – and he appears to be succeeding.
ITV soap spoilers suggest he could even turn into a killer in scenes yet to air when Belle’s beloved dog goes missing. Could he have killed to animal in an effort to pin the blame on her pal Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson)?
Elsewhere, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and the rest of the family are struggling with newcomer Ruby Fox Milligan (Beth Cordingly) who has rubbed most of the village up the wrong way with her attitude.
Express.co.uk has a rundown of three major spoilers for next week’s Emmerdale.
Upon discovering Ruby’s ‘kill them with kindness’ strategy, Cain asserts that the Dingles cannot be swayed by money and demands Ruby to leave them be.
Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) attempts to alleviate Ruby’s worries about Cain’s ultimatum, but when he storms in and snatches Sam Dingle’s (Jame Hootton) air fryer from the counter, it’s evident his threats were not empty.
The trio of Sam, Ruby, and Lydia watch in shock as Cain demolishes all three air fryers with a sledgehammer.
As part of her scheme to win Cain over, Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) reluctantly agrees to assist Ruby. The Dingles begin to show up for Ruby’s spontaneous gathering, including a confused Caleb Milligan (Will Ash).
Realising he’s been duped into attending, Cain is livid. Caleb and Cain have a shaky start, but just as they seem to be warming up, they’re interrupted by an unexpected karaoke performance from an inebriated Ruby.
Tom is annoyed to see Belle spending time with Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) and the dogs.
When Belle is called into work, Vinny offers to take care of Piper, but later, Belle is devastated when Vinny informs her that Piper has gone missing.
Tom quickly steps in as the composed hero. With Piper’s disappearance, Belle and Vinny’s friendship is on the verge of collapse.
Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson) hints that Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) and Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) would make a better impression on the new bishop if they were married, leading Charles to suggest to the Bishop that they are planning to wed.
Later in the week, Charles gathers his courage and proposes to his long-term partner.
A surprised Manpreet feels pressured into accepting, while an excited villager shares the news with the rest of the pub.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
