Emmerdale **NO SPOILERS** Under Tom's thumb. Pass me the tomahawk.

[TellingBone]

An end to this tomfoolery

Poor Belle, this is horrible 😢

This really is horrible. Surely she has to tell someone now

This would be a perfect time for Cain and Caleb to arrive. But somehow I think it will drag on for another while

Yes Belle!

She really needs to keep going now and tell Cain rather than just threaten to tell him. The big shit backed off at the mention of his name.

She does but I’m guessing Tom will somehow worm his way back in

Tom is going to go into self preservation mode and tell everyone Belle has lost it and kicked him out. Make himself out to be the victim before Belle tells anyone what he's done.

I thought Lydia and Sam might bump into Tom and realize he wasn't with Belle at home.

Why are all the soaps so miserable at the moment, there's no light relief.

Poor Belle

Even though it was a total misery fest tonight the acting was good from everyone except Rose who sounds so stilted

I agree!

I’m away at the moment, trying to keep track of what’s happening here.

I'm guessing she's going to be badly bruised from where he hit her, though.

I have a feeling she is going to keep quiet and let him worm his way back in. Which tbf is realistic to how an abused woman who has had her head messed with may act.

I can't see the Tom story finishing any time soon. I definitely think he'll worm his way back in and abuse her further.

I don't really care about Ethan. If the actor wanted to leave surely they could have given him a more realistic exit than the car crash from nowhere.

I think the soaps have a Big Soap Week at end of May?
It will probably come to an end then; hopefully, Cain will get involved
It will be too depressing to carry on til Christmas

Just begging Belle to tell Cain. I can hear Lisa's voice telling her what to do, I just hope she tells someone soon and it's not dragged out.

Is that when the Britains got talent finals are? Maybe they’ll wait until October and do an anniversary thing or is that only for the big years?

I think that's Corrie that has a big week at the end of May

I agree. I think he’s only getting underway with his vile abuse. It’s a very difficult watch.

Maybe the Lauren story in Corrie will be at the end of May then

Thing with DA it can go on for years so for it to end after a month or two really isn't realistic sadly, so I can see it going on for a bit longer.

Aaron's decor is interesting

Oh fuck off Rose

i don't see the point of Rose.

Where did the stew disappear to?
