Emmerdale spoilers: Tom King returns to the village

Viewers may remember that Belle used to date Carl King’s son, Tom King, when she was younger. However, their relationship caused a lot of trouble.

The Dingles didn’t approve of Belle dating Tom, deeming him as a bad influence. However, Belle was lovestruck and rebelled.

Tom had caused upset for Chas after stalking her whilst trying to get revenge for Carl’s death. He had shaken her up by sending her horrifying photos in the post.

Later on, Tom and Belle planned to run away from the village together. However, the Dingles phoned the police, accusing Tom of abducting Belle.

Tom ended up leaving the village on his own, going to live in Saudi Arabia, whilst Belle returned back home without him.

Now, 10 years after he left the village, Tom King will be making a return next week, bumping into his former girlfriend.
