Emmerdale’s Tom King (James Chase) was feeling triumphant after managing to convince Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) to forgive him for his past behavior toward her.
Tom, who has been under police investigation for his abusive treatment of Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) during their marriage, has seen the village turn against him. Almost everyone, except for Jimmy (Nick Miles), who believes his nephew is being framed, and Amelia, who remains in a relationship with him, is aware of his actions.
Despite warnings from Belle, Chas (Lucy Pargeter), Kerry, and Amy Wyatt (Laura Norton and Natalie Ann-Jamieson) about Tom’s manipulative nature, Amelia has repeatedly defended him and chosen to stand by his side.
However, things took a dramatic turn on Bonfire Night when Tom was enraged after the Dingles burned an effigy of him. This moment made him realize that nearly everyone else sees through his facade. Amelia tried to calm him down, but Tom retaliated by cruelly calling her ‘pathetic,’ leaving her heartbroken and storming off.
The following day, on November 6, Tom confided in Jimmy about how Amelia is refusing to respond to him. Jimmy, sympathetic toward Tom, spoke with Amelia, who expressed how hurtful Tom’s words were. After some consideration, Amelia decided to give him another chance.
Tom, pretending to regret his actions, apologized, claiming, “People are going to see I’m not what Belle says I am,” pleased to have won her back. But Amelia’s reaction suggested otherwise. Could she be starting to see through his lies and realize the truth about Tom’s abusive nature?
If Amelia does come to this realization, could she play a key role in exposing Tom and helping bring him to justice? This has been a long-standing fan theory, and the recent developments in the storyline may point to it becoming a reality!
