Fans of Emmerdale have theorised that Amelia will be the one to bring
Tom’s reign of terror to an end – by killing him. Tom and Amelia’s relationship
remains strong, in spite of her witnessing his dark side for the first time last week.
This came amid an explosive bonfire night for the pair, in which Tom snapped after supposedly being victimised by the Dingles yet again. Realising that they had made a version of him to burn on the village fire, Tom exploded – blaming Amelia for dragging him there in the first place.
Amelia was left shocked by what she saw in Tom, and immediately began having second thoughts about her man. However, these doubts were short-lived – as a visit from uncle Jimmy soon brought her back around. And, as Tom made his excuses, it seemed as though Amelia was firmly back where he wants her.
But for how long?
Emmerdale fans predict that Amelia will kill Tom
Fans of the soap have predicted that the worm will eventually turn, and Amelia will kill Tom. Theorising how the story might end, fans took to a Reddit thread to share their theories. And one viewer wondered whether Amelia might be the one who kills Tom – in defence of herself or Belle.
“Tom will either attack either Belle and Amelia. Amelia will strike back and kill Tom. Afterwards, Amelia will be convicted and sent to prison. Two people gone in one incident. It ends Tom and Belle’s story, and gets rid of Amelia while technically leaving the door open.”
“Also leaving Esther for Sam and Lydia to raise,” pointed out another fan in the comments below.
However, others aren’t convinced that this would be the best end to Tom’s story – which many feel has already been reduced to a farce.
“That wouldn’t be a good message to end this story on. Too much of it has already been sensationalised,” pointed out one fan.
“I do not even care how they end this exhausting (and exhausted) storyline at this point, as long as the show does finally end it,” said another.
How will Amelia leave?
Fans learned earlier this month that actress Daisy Campbell has been axed from the soap. This came at the end of 13 years, with her final scenes due to air at Christmas this year.
Speaking to The Mirror, Daisy revealed that it had not been her choice to leave; admitting that producers broke the news to her during a meeting.
How exactly Amelia will be written out remains to be seen – nor whether she’ll be leaving the soap in one piece.
