Next week in Emmerdale, Belle King faces a difficult decision: whether to report her abusive husband Tom to the police. Seeking advice from her sister-in-law Lydia Dingle, Belle weighs her options after Tom’s shocking behavior comes to light. Belle has already confided in her family and warned Tom’s new girlfriend, Amelia Spencer, about his untrustworthiness, but she is unsure of her next move. An unexpected call from Kim Tate, her landlord at Dale Head Cottage, adds to Belle’s stress as Kim reveals that the house has been left in disarray.
Determined to investigate, Belle heads to the house with Lydia, only to make a horrifying discovery – one of Tom’s hidden cameras. Belle is devastated to realize that Tom may have been secretly filming her for weeks. Feeling violated, Belle confides in Lydia, who urges her to report Tom’s actions, including the hidden cameras, to the authorities. However, Belle is hesitant, afraid of reliving the trauma and exposing her personal life in court.
As Belle contemplates her next steps, she turns to Lydia for advice, asking about Lydia’s own experience of reporting Craig Reed, her rapist, to the police. Lydia shares her painful memories but hopes to encourage Belle to take action. Just as Belle tries to process everything, Amelia unexpectedly reaches out, hinting that she is no longer loyal to Tom. Yet, as Belle meets with Amelia, Tom suddenly appears, locking Belle inside. Has Amelia betrayed Belle, or is she truly on her side? The tense confrontation will unfold in the week starting Monday, September 23, on ITV1.
