Emmerdale's Tom King to be 'taken down' by villager in new revenge plot

Emmerdale's villainous character Tom King, portrayed by James Chase, was taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into his domestic abuse against Belle Dingle, played by Eden Taylor-Draper. However, he was subsequently released, and the police probe continued.

Viewers are speculating that Nicola King, played by Nicola Wheeler, is gearing up to bring Tom down in a fresh revenge plot.

Tom's arrest followed Nicola taking her stepson Carl, played by Charlie Munro Joyce, to the police station to report him for lying about a missing tablet. This device contains key evidence demonstrating Belle's abuse at the hands of Tom.

Carl also admitted that his cousin Tom had threatened him over the tablet before destroying it to conceal his actions. In the latest episode aired on October 31, DS Foy, played by Robert Cavanah, confronted Tom about his previous statements.

The officer presented proof that Tom had bought several cameras to spy on Belle in her own home, indicating his escalating controlling behaviour. DS Foy, who believes Belle's account, also confirmed that despite receiving mental health treatment, Belle was mentally competent when she reported Tom for domestic abuse, reports .

A potential breakthrough came when Foy revealed that investigators had located Tom's broken tablet, which would be thoroughly examined by an IT team to recover any possible data.

As the police carried on with their investigations, Tom returned home to find a stern-faced Nicola waiting for him, fully aware of his guilt in terrorising Belle.

In a surprising turn of events, Tom's car was vandalised by an unknown individual. Nicola labelled the entire situation with Tom as "crazy" and pledged to expose his guilt.

viewers are now speculating that Nicola is on a mission for revenge against Tom, believing she is responsible for damaging his car, with more drama expected to unfold.

One viewer took to social media, writing: "I reckon it was Nicola that smashed Tom's car window! @emmerdale #Emmerdale."

Another fan encouraged: "Go on Nicola, bring him down! ! @emmerdale #emmerdale", while another predicted: "Tom gets stabbed next week and I get the feeling it's gonna be Nicola #Emmerdale."

"I didn't think that by the tail end of the Belle abuse storyline, we'd be rooting for Nicola #", one viewer commented.

"I'm so thrilled Nicola sees Tom for the monster he is - it never made sense to me that she took his side in the first place tbh #Emmerdale", another added.
