Emmerdale delivers the shocks next week, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures, as a much-loved legend is abducted while Tom King (James Chase) remains the talk of the village.
Tom, as viewers know, has been abusing wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) for months.
Unable to take it any longer, Belle broke free from his control and, after contemplating what her future would like with Tom still in her life, she resolved to open up about the abuse she endured at his hands.
With Tom’s actions now public knowledge, he has become the talk of the town and next week, Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) comes to blows with Jimmy King (Nick Miles), who fails to recognise his nephew for the abuser that he is.
Can Lydia make him see that Belle is telling the truth?
That remains to be seen. In regards to the kidnap I mentioned earlier, that comes during the on-going blackmail story, as Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) receives yet another setback.
The blackmailer, you see, ups the stakes to £50k, leaving Will with little choice but to seek help. But who does he go to for a loan? Why, it’s none other than Caleb Miligan (William Ash), who is taken aback by the proposition.
Will begs Caleb to provide him with the cash he needs – in exchange for his shares in the haulage business! Caleb agrees, leaving Will relieved, but things spiral out of control when Kim Tate (Claire King) subsequently vanishes, with Will receiving word that she has been kidnapped!
Will Kim be okay?
Elsewhere, Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke) continues to ignore Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) over the way he treated Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy).
Arthur soon has other things on his mind as he invites his date Lewis into Mulberry, with the two boys opening a beer together. Jai, however, spots the two disposing of the empty beer cans, leaving Arthur worried that he will tell Laurel.
It’s going to be an intriguing week!
