Emmerdale spoilers

1. Belle vanishes

It’s been an eventful few months for Belle, and it seems Tom is still able to manipulate her. Still unsure if his suicide attempt was fake, Belle continues to spiral, adamant she can’t have his death on her conscience.

But now more than ever it’s important for her to stand up against Tom as it’s time for her to take the stand.

However, tonight she leaves the Dingles a mysterious note and slips out of the house when nobody is around.

When they realise she’s missing, her family race to find her. But the prosecution barrier warns them that without Belle there, they may struggle to get a guilty verdict.

With the Dingles desperate to track Belle down, where has she gone? And will she make it back in time?

2. Tom prepares to put on a show

Alone in his prison cell, Tom practices how he will be on the stand, making sure he will get it right.

And when Ollie tells him that Belle hasn’t arrived, Tom’s ego is boosted some more.

Realising that his plan to get her to spiral has worked, Tom is evidently very proud of himself.

So, as the jury gathers for the beginning of the trial, Tom prepares to take centre stage for his biggest performance yet.

Will it be enough? Or will Belle realise it was all another manipulation?

Emmerdale spoilers tonight 3. Will’s plan is thwarted

Last night’s episode saw Jai evict Dawn and Billy as he needed to move back in. While they were both rightfully annoyed by the sudden urgency, especially before Christmas, Billy’s reaction was too extreme for Dawn.

Luckily for them, Kim had just told Dawn that she, Billy and the kids were more than welcome to move back to Home Farm. Initially, they were going to say no, because Billy believed it was cursed. But now, it seemed like the perfect plan.

However, Billy still said no, despite having no other option. And he even told Dawn to go with the kids without him..

Tonight, Dawn does just that. She arrives at Home Farm with all of her belongings, which obviously terrifies Will.

His plan to take down Kim with Peter and a mystery man would be disrupted if Dawn and the kids were there. So, he does his best to persuade her that it’s a bad idea.

But will it work? Or will Dawn be around for Home Farm taking centre stage on Christmas Day?

4. Aaron and John grow closer

This week, Aaron and John have been on a spontaneous camping trip. While he initially led Aaron to believe it was for him, last night saw John confess it was actually something he needed to do for himself.

He finally opened up to Aaron about the dog tag with the name Aidan Moore on it. Revealing he was someone John once loved, Aaron tried to be there for his new boyfriend.

Tonight, after both opening up, the couple confess that they are actually in love with each other. And while that should be cute to watch, something still feels off.

However, many viewers are still convinced John is lying about something. Is he out for revenge for some reason? Is he actually Aidan Moore? Something just doesn’t feel right about him…
