Cain Dingle’s unexpected reaction as he discovers Tom King’s abuse of Belle in Emmerdale

Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) courageously opened up to Charity Dingle

(Emma Atkins) about Tom King’s (James Chase) abuse in recent Emmerdale scenes,

and it wasn’t long before Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) was also informed. During a

special episode that focused on Belle’s decision to open up about her abuse, viewers got to see a number of scenarios play out as Belle debated the best way forward. In one of the imaginary scenarios, Cain found out about Tom’s abuse of Belle and attacked him, leaving him for dead. Because of this, Belle instead decided to open up to cousin Charity about her ordeal. The next morning, Belle admitted that she felt better having finally told someone, but she wasn’t ready for Cain to find out. Charity was quick to persuade her to let her big brother in on the secret, and with Belle worried that Cain would lash out, promised to tell him herself.

Later, Charity headed to the Woolpack to find Cain, but she soon ran into Tom instead. The pair shared a tense conversation, before Charity revealed to Cain that they needed to talk, and Tom couldn’t know about it. Over at Butler’s farm, Charity revealed all about Belle’s abuse, and Cain was understandably furious with Tom. However, Charity insisted that he couldn’t fly off the handle, and begged him not to make things worse for Belle by confronting Tom. As they continued to discuss the situation, Cain stormed out, leaving Charity terrified that he was set to go against his word and leave Belle in a dangerous position.

Thankfully, Cain took unexpected action, and instead paid Belle herself a visit. As he wrapped her up in a hug, he told her that he loved and believed her, much to Charity’s relief. Later, he asked Belle to come to him if she had any problems, and promised her that they would support her in going to the police as soon as she felt ready. As he left, Tom was passing by, and Cain showed huge restraint in ignoring him completely, but will he be able to stick to his word and keep away from Tom?
