Belle Dingle has finally ended her toxic relationship with Tom King,
but fans are bracing for more drama as they suspect Tom’s manipulative
schemes are far from over. Following their split, Tom’s unsettling
intentions have come to light, and it appears he’s not going to let Belle walk away unscathed. In Thursday’s episode, Belle returned to the village and moved back in with Lydia. Meanwhile, Charity and Cain arrived at the Welsh cottage, only to find it in disarray with blood on the walls. Fearing the worst, they were confronted by Tom, who appeared to have a quick explanation. Tom claimed that Belle had stormed out after an argument and that she had been neglecting her medication. He also mentioned that Belle had recently undergone an abortion.
When Charity and Cain relayed Tom’s version of events to Belle, she was outraged. She refuted Tom’s claims, insisting that she had been taking her medication and accusing him of lying and trying to make her look bad. Determined to end the relationship, Belle went to collect her belongings, only to find Tom already at the house. Despite his attempts to manipulate and gaslight her, Belle was resolute in her decision to leave. After some resistance, Tom eventually unlocked the door, allowing Belle to walk out.
However, fans are concerned that Tom’s sinister plans are far from finished. On X (formerly Twitter), viewers have speculated about Tom’s next move. Some believe that Tom will attempt to turn everyone against Belle. One fan predicted, “Now everyone will think Tom’s version of events. Belle will continue to suffer under his malevolent influence.” Another worried that Tom might inflict harm on himself and blame Belle, leading to prolonged turmoil. A third fan speculated, “Tom will likely intensify his gaslighting, trying to make everyone believe Belle is at fault.”
The consensus among fans is that Tom’s manipulation will continue, with predictions that he may even hurt himself to further frame Belle. The ongoing psychological torment is expected to persist, leaving viewers anxious about how the situation will unfold. Keep watching to see if Belle can escape Tom’s clutches or if his dark schemes will continue to unravel her life.
