ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' beloved villager takes fall for Belle Dingle in double exit


Emmerdale fans seem to think Cain Dingle (played by Jeff Hordley) will end up taking the fall for Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) after she stabs her husband Tom King (James Chase) in the back and leaves him for dead.

During Friday's gripping episode, viewers saw Belle in a frantic dash to the hospital, desperate to discover if her husband had made it through his ordeal. At the same time, Vinny (Bradley Johnson) and Sam (James Hooton) were doing their best to stop her from making any hasty decisions.

A confused Belle demanded answers, asking: "What is going on? " only to be met by Vinny's firm response: "You shouldn't be here."

While seeking updates on Tom's condition, Sam didn't mince words about his hope for an unfavourable outcome, bluntly saying, "that would be the best for all of us."

Belle, resolute, declared: "I need to go in there," as she tried to bypass her family members, but Vinny implored her: "You need to go home, I am begging you, Belle."

As Belle attempted to move forward, Sam attempted to dissuade her, cautioning: "Vinny is right, you are going to blow everything,".

Realising the dire consequences of her actions, Belle confided in Sam with heavy heart: "I already have, haven't I, Sam? If Tom dies, that is another life I have taken, how do I live with myself?"

She also pondered the grim possibilities that lay ahead, stating: "And if he survives, if he lands me in it, then my life is over. So whatever happens I am screwed."

In a moment of despair, Belle was seen sobbing: "He has won, hasn't he?"

Ever since Tom got stabbed, fans have been coming up with their own theories about whether Belle actually did it, and if she did, could one of her family members end up taking the fall for her?

Despite Cain confirming he was leaving to go to Scotland to see their dad, many fans believe the Dingle stalwart will go to prison for Belle if it comes to it.

"I think Cain will take the rap and do the sentence," one fan said on a Facebook fan page.

While someone else pointed out he was in Scotland, the fan theorised: "For now, I think he will come back with the news Zac is dead and he will learn about Belle and admit it was him."

"I wonder would it be Cain?" someone else suggested.

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV.
