Emmerdale ‘confirms’ Tom’s attacker wasn’t Belle or Cain as fans rumble 'real culprit'


Emmerdale appeared to 'confirm' Tom King's attacker wasn't his ex Belle Dingle or her brother Cain – and fans think they know who will get the blame.

During Monday's episode (September 30), Tom woke up in hospital with his uncle Jimmy by his bedside, writhing in pain. The police soon arrived to quiz Tom on his memories of the attack, but he admitted the whole thing was just a "blank" and cut the interview short.

Tom later phoned Belle and fumed: "Don't I even get a hello? After what you did to me?" Then threatened her to visit him in hospital – "or else I'll tell the police everything". But even then he didn't confirm it was definitely Belle who attacked him.

Fans are divided into two camps now – one that Tom is simply lying to the police to get one over on Belle and use leverage to manipulate her further, and others who are sure Belle didn't actually stick the axe in his back.

In a twist of fate, some fans are sure the real culprit could be Vinny, who discovered Tom's abuse of Belle and who has grown closer to her over the past few months. One X user said: "Tom's going to blame Vinny!"

As someone else agreed: "Wouldn't it be a twist if Vinny HAD attacked Tom and not Belle... and he's using that as leverage instead #Emmerdale," before suggesting: "Like it was all a different dream sequence/hallucination... omg the possibilities." A third fan wrote: "If he blames Vinny then Belle will own up."

Other fans, however, were more distracted by a massive hospital blunder. They pointed out that while Tom had been stabbed in the back, he was lying on the injury in his bed.

One tweeted: "And would Tom be lying on his f***in back after being attacked with a massive axe in said back?" As someone else agreed: "Just a minute. Tom was axed in the back, but the hospital team have him lying on it!"

Another fuming fan wrote: "I hope Tom lying on his back is hurting him like a b**ch!" as another quipped: "To say he's had an axe in his back, Tom doesn't look that worse off for it."

Belle was also questioned by the cops in the episode, with Lydia and Charity helping her cover up, confirming she had no idea who the real attacker was.
