Belle Dingle (played by Eden Taylor Draper) might soon realise her husband Tom King (James Chase) is a dog killer in scenes yet to air on Emmerdale.
Emmerdale spoilers have revealed Tom’s annoyance to see Belle spending time with Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) and their adorable dogs.
When she gets called into work, Vinny offers to take care of her puppy Piper, but Belle is later left distraught when he informs her the pooch is missing.
Tom is quick to take on the role of the calm saviour as Belle sobs over the heartbreaking situation.
With Piper missing, Belle and Vinny’s friendship is left at breaking point. Will Tom succeed in tearing the pair apart?
Tom King has been controlling Belle Dingle ever since they tied the knot earlier this year, and his disturbing behaviour is set to continue towards her in upcoming scenes.
Could Tom have actually killed the dog? Perhaps he will find a way to frame Vinny for the poor creature’s death.
Whether the dog turns up alive or not, Tom appears to be responsible for the pup going missing as part of a revenge plan.
He might be hiding the dog at work, as he’s employed at a veterinary surgery, and will be the person who reunites Belle with the canine.
She’s likely to see Tom in a heroic light if he returns the dog to her and he could tell her never to leave the dog with Vinny again or speak to him.
He’s been trying to isolate Belle from her loved ones for months, and this latest incident could stop her from talking to Vinny for good.
Tom’s been jealous of their friendship and bond over their animals – but who will he try and cut Belle off from next?
During Thursday’s episode, Tom continued manipulating Belle and made her feel guilty about spending time away from him.
He fumed when she texted him saying she’d be home from work late to have a few drinks with a friend. She lied and pretended she was working late but Tom had a tracker on her and found her enjoying some wine.
He lost control of himself and trashed their home in a blind rage over the situation. He later blamed the mess on burglars and Belle believed him.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
