Tom is rushed to hospital

Chaos ensues at the prison as a ‘code red’ is declared in Tom’s cell. It’s not long before Belle finds out that Tom has been rushed to hospital after attempting to take his own life.

With Tom soon due in court, everyone wonders if the case will still be able to go ahead. Belle is in turmoil over the situation and she is soon spiralling. The Dingles are on hand to try to rally her spirits and keep her on track, but the fear of having Tom’s death on her hands is too great.

Belle starts to question whether she can really get through this. She decides to talk to Paddy, who previously thought about taking his own life, to try to get some insight into Tom and his suicide attempt. Will Paddy be able to reassure Belle or could he make her even more confused?

Emmerdale spoilers: Charity visits Tom

Charity meanwhile, is not at all convinced Tom is being honest. She manages to surprise Tom by gaining access to his hospital room. Tom is alarmed by her sudden appearance.

However, when Charity demands that Tom admit he faked the suicide attempt in order to stop the court case – and of course put Belle off testifying against him.

But Charity has made a big mistake because her arrival and her attitude makes Tom smell a rat. He very quickly realises that Charity is only there because Belle is spiralling. Charity soon regrets her interference, but is it too late?

Tom thinks he’s won and tells solicitor Ollie that Belle won’t be testifying. Confident that he will get off on all charges, Tom is gleeful. But is he right? Or will Belle prove him wrong and find the strength to turn up?
