Emmerdale fans rumble how Tom King will die as shocking exit ‘revealed’

Tom King has been controlling his wife Belle Dingle for months – but could he soon be making an exit from the Dales in truly dramatic soap fashion?

Emmerdale fans have rumbled a shock death for Tom King ahead of his exit.

Tom (James Chase) has been coercively controlling his wife Belle Dingle for several months now, leading to a huge showdown between the pair. It has been confirmed the shocking storyline will end later this year, with fans now convinced they know how it might come to an end – and it certainly doesn’t look like it will end well for evil Tom King.

Just recently, Tom was seen targeting Belle by using their dog Piper as a pawn in his manipulation. He ran little Piper over, before then telling Belle he had tried to rescue the pooch but said it had sadly died. However, fans are now aware that Tom has given Piper to another family – and the dog is actually very much alive.

Speaking about the hard to watch scenes, James said: “Tom is well aware of the control he can exert by using his dog in his abuse of Belle. This deliberate act, although horrifying, is Tom’s way of getting back in Belle’s life.

“He knows her reaction to Piper being injured will mean he can then be the one to comfort her and get close to her again. It’s a desperate act, but Tom is clutching at anything at this time.”

Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw added of the storyline: “Working with the charities and hearing first hand stories from domestic abuse survivors it’s clearly all too common that domestic abusers will use the family pet as a weapon.

“In upcoming scenes Viewers will see Tom go to desperate measures to try and keep control of his imploding marriage to Belle, which puts Piper in great jeopardy. Could this terrible act be the motivation that finally urges Belle to report her husband as an abuser?”

Fans of the ITV soap are now convinced they know how Tom will exit the show – and it will be permanent.

“@emmerdale #emmerdale just had a thought about Tom king’s upcoming exit. People are speculating he could be killed off. Well… stunt week is coming up soon and I bet he will be caught up in its crossfire…” one fan suggested, whilst a second added: ”

A third, though, disagreed, sharing: “i just thought i’d say… i don’t think tom is being killed off. emmerdale are working with a charity to make sure this sl is as accurate as possible, meaning he will probably be sent to prison. #Emmerdale.”
