In recent weeks, Belle revealed the truth about her husband to a shocked

Charity and Cain – who instantly believed her claims. While others in the village have also come around to Belle’s version of events, Amelia hasn’t been so easily convinced. Rejecting the idea that Tom could have been abusing Belle, she remains one of his staunchest defenders.

And, as Tom disappears, gullible Amelia still appears to be in his pocket.  As Amelia continues to defend Tom from criticism by Kerry and Chas, Amy tries to make her see sense.

Will Amelia listen to reason before Tom sinks his claws in even deeper?

Amelia stands her ground

Chas catches Amelia stowing food away in her bag and instantly suspects it’s for Tom. After a heated argument over Tom’s innocence, Chas is left shocked by her continued defence.

Later, she discusses her concern for Amelia with Amy and Kerry. While Kerry wants to tackle the situation head-on, Amy tries to convince her to be tactful.

But when Amelia arrives, the conversation quickly turns into another argument over Tom. Frustrated, Amelia storms off.

Amy urges Kerry not to push Amelia too hard for fear that she’ll shut them all out.

When Amy broaches the subject of Tom, Amelia grows uncomfortable. She feels conflicted when Amy gently explains that Tom might be lying to her.

Can Amy get through to Amelia?
