Emmerdale serves up the week we’ve all been waiting for next week, as confirmed in my brand new spoiler pictures, with Tom King (James Chase) set to face the music at last.
The twisted abuser, as viewers know, has evaded justice time and again and next week he decides to play the victim once more, determined to win Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) over.
Nicola is livid when Jimmy (Nick Miles) once again sides with Tom, who turns his attention to Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell), feigning prayer to keep her on side.
Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper), meanwhile, takes a bath upstairs at Jacob’s Fold when vile Tom invades her personal space once again, sneaking into the property to steals one of her tops, which he gives to Amelia.
Putting two and two together when she spots the top on Amelia, Belle makes an accusation.
As doubts surface, Amelia questions Tom, who rails at her for not believing him and, as a heated showdown ensues, DS Foy arrives to take Tom in for more questioning.
This time, justice is served.
Elsewhere in the village during the week in question, Ella Forster (Paula Lane) contemplates leaving the village, with Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) concerned for her.
Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson), meanwhile, confesses his love for Chas (Lucy Pargeter), who – while feeling the same way – suggests that they keep things between them a bit lowkey for now.
Ella, however, witnesses their heated conversation.The question is: does she overhear what they’ve said?
It’s going to be quite a week in the Dales and not one to be missed, that’s for sure!
