In Emmerdale, Amelia Spencer’s relationship with Tom King takes a troubling turn as she remains blind to his manipulative ways. Actress Daisy Campbell, who portrays Amelia, has opened up about her character’s vulnerability, noting the significant age gap between Amelia and Tom, which has left her easily influenced. Tom, who has a dark history of emotionally and physically abusing his ex-wife, Belle Dingle, is using his charm to control Amelia. Last week, viewers were shocked as Amelia helped Tom trap Belle in Wishing Well Cottage, allowing Tom to terrorize Belle with an axe.
Campbell acknowledges that Amelia is making mistakes, but attributes her actions to her age and naivety. Amelia sees Tom as a protective figure, unable to recognize his abusive tendencies due to his older age and apparent authority. However, there are signs that Amelia may soon wake up to the truth. Campbell expresses hope that her character will eventually team up with Belle to bring Tom down. She hints at a potential turning point, saying that Amelia is currently under Tom’s control but might realize the truth and stand up against him.
Fans are eager to see if Amelia will break free from Tom’s manipulation and join forces with Belle in what promises to be a tense and emotional storyline.
