4 Emmerdale spoilers next week: Will Tom King die as Belle attempts to escape abuse?

This article includes discussion of domestic abuse, including coercive control, that some readers may find distressing.

Tom King (James Chase) is in mortal danger next week, when he is electrocuted just as abused wife

Belle King (Eden Taylor-Draper) is trying to get away from the village. Elsewhere, Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) cunning

behaviour starts to impact his marriage to tLaurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) – but will she discover what he’s been up to? Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) offers locked up stepson Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) some advice, while Dawn Fletcher (Olivia Bromley) is given a boost by mum Rose Jackson (Christine Tremarco). Belle confesses to her Mental Health Care Coordinator, Rachel, that she told Tom she had a miscarriage instead of an abortion. During the appointment, Belle fears that Rachel is beginning to realise the extent of Tom’s controlling behaviour.

She’s desperate for Rachel to leave, but Rachel reassures her, and the reality of Tom’s abuse finally hits home. Rachel encourages Belle to take a break from Tom, and a terrified Belle nods warily. A conflicted Belle stares out of the window of a taxi, just as Tom is connecting the dots to her lies. Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) reveals that Belle was in town for an appointment when she claimed she was walking Piper, and Tom is unable to contain his rage when he realises that Belle went to an abortion clinic.

Tom grabs a rusty iron bar and, in the barn, rains down blows on anything and everything. Tom flings back his arm for one final swing, but when the bar smashes against the barn’s rotary isolator behind him, Tom is electrocuted and hurled violently against a beam. As Tom lays unconscious, or worse, Belle’s case is packed and she’s ready to leave for Scotland to see niece Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb). Will evil Tom die, leaving Belle free to escape his abuse? Laurel spots a tense conversation between Jai and Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), but Jai then covers his fury at Pollard.

Later, Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) asks Laurel for advice over his boyfriend Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope), who is eager to leave the village behind. Laurel tells Suni that Jai would be devastated if he left, also reminding him of the importance of compromise in relationships. Suni is thoughtful as he ponders Nicky’s plea to move away, but little does Suni know that big brother Jai is keeping secrets from him after running their killer father Amit (Anil Goutam) out of the village. We also know that Suni and Nicky are indeed set to leave this summer.
