Yahoo News Emmerdale fans say 'we've seen enough' as they work out Tom King 'lie'
Emmerdale fans think they have 'seen enough' as they work out Tom King's 'lie' ahead of a dramatic special episode set to show viewers the true extent of his coercively controlling behaviour.
Those tuning into the ITV soap previously predicted Tom's behaviour would escalate after there was some concerning scenes in October when Tom popped the question to Belle and didn't take her turning him down very well, assuming it meant she didn't love him, and a brief move left her bleeding on the floor.
While they did eventually got engaged in December when Belle roped in his heroes Torvill and Dean for the surprise and the pair married earlier this year, their wedding night earlier this year ended with Belle in tears and sleeping on the sofa after Tom shouted at her and ridiculed her for wanting to read a letter from her late mum, Lisa.

Since then, Emmerdale has confirmed it is exploring the nature of abusive relationships with the newlyweds and the use of tech after Tom placed a tracker on Belle's phone before installing a camera in their home, which he said was a 'dog cam' to keep an eye on new pet pooch, Piper, when really he's keeping tabs on her.
During the first trop of the week to the Dales on Monday night (May 6), Belle was nervously planning a trip to the doctors as she struggled to get on board with Tom's want to start a family. Meanwhile, he headed out to work at the veterinary practice where during his shift, he wrongly advised a customer that her dog likely had cancer after finding a lump.
The owner was left distraught when Tom suggested the limp was a tumour and that her dog would have to be put to sleep, but when Vanessa Woodfield and Paddy Kirk arrived, they were horrified to discover Tom shared a diagnosis without any additional tests.
Tests were done and luckily for the pet owner, her dog had an abscess and would survive. However, as the customer complained, Vanessa called Tom out and questioned his abilities as a vet, which he wasn't happy about.
But Emmerdale viewers think Vanessa may have a point as they questioned whether Tom is qualified to be looking after the animals that pass through the vets' doors. @pam_debeauvoir fumed: "This proves that Tom is seriously sick. He may well have hurt animals when he was a child and only became a 'vet' just so he could 'cure' them. The character has gone too far. We've seen enough #Emmerdale."
@IAmCodeNinja asked: "Is Tom even a vet at all? #emmerdale." @Margare16040532 added: "This is getting beyond ridiculous and stupid now....Tom diagnosing the dog's cancer without examination! Thought he was a vet..... #Emmerdale."
