In recent Emmerdale episodes, fans are left in suspense as Tom King’s fate remains uncertain after a brutal altercation with Belle Dingle. Following a dramatic fight where Belle defended herself with an axe against Tom, who attempted to shoot her, viewers are speculating that there may have been a hidden player involved in the scuffle. Although Belle was seen with the weapon, some believe another character could have struck the fatal blow.

Vinnie Dingle was initially a prime suspect, but recent fan theories suggest a returning character, like Ross Barton, could have been secretly staying in the Dingles’ home. A backpack spotted in the scene led fans to theorize that Ross may have witnessed or even participated in the fight. The idea of Ross, set to return soon, being the unseen person adds further mystery to the already tense storyline.

As Tom lay gravely injured, Belle appeared shocked, raising doubts about whether she delivered the final blow. While some fans think Vinnie could still be responsible, others believe a more unexpected figure may have taken matters into their own hands. Theories abound, including the possibility that Cain Dingle or even Lydia might have been involved in the attack. With Tom now fighting for his life in the hospital, Belle faces the overwhelming guilt of possibly taking another life, while viewers eagerly await to see whether Tom will survive and what further twists are yet to come in this gripping saga.
