In Emmerdale next week, from September 23rd to 27th, tension runs high as Tom King corners Belle King in a terrifying confrontation. Belle is horrified when she spots a screw on the floor, realizing it’s from one of Tom’s hidden cameras, confirming her fears that he’s been secretly filming her. Feeling violated, Belle confides in her sister-in-law Lydia Dingle. Though Lydia gently encourages Belle to report Tom’s actions to the police, Belle adamantly refuses, unable to face the trauma of reliving her experiences and exposing the private footage in court.
Later, Belle reflects on Lydia’s advice and asks her to share the experience of reporting Craig Reed, her rapist, to the authorities. Lydia does so, becoming emotional as she relives the ordeal but hopes her words will inspire Belle to seek justice. While Lydia holds onto the hope that Belle will change her mind, Amelia Spencer complicates things by lashing out at Belle and Chaz Dingle, defending Tom. Meanwhile, Amy Barton and Carrie Wyatt suspect that Amelia might still be in contact with Tom and begin digging for the truth.
As the situation escalates, Amelia reaches out to Belle for a private meeting, leaving Belle unsure whether to trust her. When Belle waits for Amelia, she’s shocked as Tom suddenly arrives, blocking her exit and locking the doors. Has Amelia set Belle up, or is she truly on her side? The tension climaxes when an ambulance is called to the village – but who will need help?
Elsewhere, John Sugden impresses Dr. Liam Cavanagh with his quick thinking during Eric Pollard’s medical emergency, while Victoria Sugden makes a shocking discovery that leads to suspicions about John’s secretive behavior. At the same time, Laurel Thomas and Charles Anderson’s simmering tension leads to an unexpected romantic twist that leaves them both reeling.
