ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' pregnancy bombshell as unlikely villager's exit 'confirmed'


Emmerdale fans are braced for a double whammy of pregnancy shocks to hit the village after the twist-filled instalments aired last Thursday. Belle Dingle, depicted by Eden Taylor-Draper, experienced three alternative life paths in flashback sequences, painting various futures that could unfold.

In an emotional scenario, Belle deceives her on-screen husband Tom King (played by James Chase), by pleading for reconciliation merely to protect Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) from the malicious vet. The tension escalates as a visibly battered Belle, sporting two black eyes, is seen cradling her pregnant belly.

Tom's line to Belle hits hard: "How long is this going to go on for, Belle?" he questions as she breaks down in tears. "All day? A week? You completely humiliated me, any man would have done the same."

"Come on, clear yourself up, today is supposed to be a happy day. The five-month scan, remember? Honestly, Belle your memory is so shockingly poor, it's oddly charming," Tom adds dismissively.

In a third, grim alternate reality, Amelia and Tom appear as an engaged couple facing dark times when the story reveals Amelia has become another victim of Tom's abuse and meets a heartbreaking end, reports the Express.

The plot thickens when Belle spots marks on Amelia's hands and urges the young mum to confront the truth: "I know what he is like."

Yet as an attempt to free Amelia from Tom's grip unfolds, disaster strikes and the scene harrowingly shifts to show Amelia's body being removed from her home on a stretcher, while a grief-stricken Amy Wyatt (Laura Norton) laments: "They can't take her, she is just a kid."

As the flashback scene wrapped up, viewers saw Tom being consoled in The Woolpack post-Amelia's funeral, but even though they've been shown what Belle's future could entail, fans with a keen eye reckon it might hold some truth.

Speculation is rife that either Belle or Amelia may be expecting, with Tom pegged as the potential dad.

Social media has been abuzz with Emmerdale watchers sharing their hunches. One viewer commented: "I really hope she's dreaming now and not really pregnant...#emmerdale."

Another chimed in with a prediction: "Amelia ends up pregnant #emmerdale," while someone else echoed the sentiment stating: "She's pregnant #emmerdale."

The theories continue with one theorist expressing concern over age differences: "#emmerdale Isn't Tom King about 35? I bet he will get Amelia pregnant to get back at Belle for having an abortion."

Confusion was evident in another fan's reaction: "She's pregnant? WTF is happening #Emmerdale," they questioned. (sic)

Tracy (Amy Walsh) potentially expecting Nate's (Jurell Carter) offspring is also a topic of conversation following their on-screen kiss. A fan proposed: "Fully thinking Nate is going to die now he's back with Tracy and she'll end up pregnant again #Emmerdale."

With Emmerdale showrunners hinting at upcoming fatalities due to a significant explosion set to rock the village, many predict Nate won't make it out alive.

In a separate twist, the local mechanic had already revealed plans to depart from the village in search of new beginnings.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
