Game’s up at last for Tom King as the truth is exposed to the police in tense Emmerdale video
We know that Tom King’s days are numbered in Emmerdale, as actor James Chase is reported to be leaving at the end of the year. With most of the village now aware of Tom’s vile and abusive behaviour towards his wife, Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), it’s only a matter of time before the character gets his comeuppance.
What we don’t know is how this story will play out over the coming weeks. Will Tom meet his fate at the hands of the angry Dingles?
We’ve already seen Sam (James Hooton) heading off in a murderous rage to confront him and having to be restrained by Cain (Jeff Hordley) – whose feelings are equally murderous towards the man who terrorised his little sister but who prefers to bide his time these days.
Or could Tom face the legal consequences of his criminal behaviour? DS Foy (Robert Cavanah) has already assured Belle that he believes her account of what happened, but so far there hasn’t been any real evidence the police could use to pin criminal charges on Tom.
That could be about to change, as a new spoiler video reveals the moment DS Foy is presented with a new lead – and it comes from an unexpected source.
Tom’s young cousin Carl Holliday (Charlie Munro Joyce) goes to the police station with his stepmom Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) – and he has information that could finally seal Tom’s fate.
After Belle ended her marriage to Tom she moved back into their old house to live on her own for a while. What she didn’t know was that Tom had filled the house with hidden cameras and was watching her every move.
The images were stored on Tom’s tablet, which fell into the hands of Carl who was using it to play games.
He then passed it to Isaac Dingle (Bobby Dunsmuir) to play with. At Butlers, Moira (Natalie J Robb) saw the images on the tablet and realised she had to let Belle know, but unfortunately because of her brain tumour she forgot what she’d seen.
Tom was able to retrieve the tablet, and Carl was horrified to watch him smashing it in a frenzy, destroying the evidence.
Recently Nicola has noticed that Carl is tense around Tom, who has been applying pressure on his cousin to keep him quiet, and bribing him with gifts.
In this clip, Carl has told Nicola what’s been going on and they prepare to tell everything to a sympathetic DS Foy. He hopes that Carl can shed some light on the saga of Tom’s missing tablet.
Could Carl’s account be the key to Tom King finally facing justice?
