Emmerdale fans are buzzing with theories about who truly attacked Tom King after the latest episode of the ITV soap aired. While some originally suspected Belle Dingle or her protective brother, Cain, the unfolding plot has thrown this assumption into doubt. After Tom regained consciousness in the hospital, he claimed he couldn’t remember any details about the attack, frustrating the police as they tried to gather information. His uncle Jimmy stayed by his side, but Tom remained vague during questioning, leading to speculation that he might be hiding something.

Later, Tom made a suspicious phone call to Belle, accusing her of being responsible for the attack. He hinted at revealing everything to the police unless she visited him in the hospital, adding tension to the mystery. Despite Tom’s threats, fans are now divided, with some believing he’s manipulating the situation to frame Belle, while others are convinced of her innocence.

A new theory has emerged among viewers, suggesting that Vinnie Dingle, who has been growing closer to Belle, might be the real culprit. Fans speculate that Vinnie could have attacked Tom after learning about his abusive behavior toward Belle, with some even imagining Tom is using this as leverage against Belle. Others have pointed out inconsistencies in the hospital scenes, noting that Tom, despite having a stab wound in his back, was positioned oddly, lying on the injury.

As the plot thickens, Belle faces police interrogation, but with the support of Lydia and Charity, who are working to create an alibi for her, the mystery remains unsolved. Fans continue to speculate, eagerly awaiting the next twist in the storyline.
