Soap fans have speculated about a “sick” twist regarding Tom King’s parentage in Emmerdale after uncovering clues that hint at his ‘real’ lineage.
The character, played by James Chase, made a striking debut in the village in April 2023 and quickly found himself entangled in intense storylines, including an abusive relationship with his on-screen wife, Belle Dingle, portrayed by Eden Taylor-Draper.
After a series of tumultuous events in their marriage, during which Tom displayed violent behavior, Belle courageously decided to leave him and revealed his actions to her family. Despite her attempts to escape, Tom has been persistent in trying to keep Belle connected to him.
Their situation took a dramatic turn this month when Belle attacked Tom with an axe, leading to potential legal repercussions for her.
Although the former couple is legally prohibited from contacting each other, Belle recently violated this order, driven by her suspicion that Tom had sent her flowers following Zak’s (Steve Halliwell) death.
After Tom dismissed the accusation, Belle further complicated matters by throwing the roses at him, an act he quickly reported to the authorities.
With rumors swirling about actor James Chase potentially leaving the soap, dedicated Emmerdale fans are eager for Tom’s tyrannical reign to come to an end. Speculation is growing as viewers anticipate a shocking revelation on the horizon, according to reports from Leeds Live.
In a stunning plot twist, fans suspect that Tom’s true father may not be Carl King (Tom Lister), as previously thought, but rather Zak Dingle. If this revelation turns out to be true, it could send shockwaves through the village, revealing that Tom and Belle might actually be half-siblings.
Fans have been sending the rumour mill into overdrive on social media, with one avid viewer suggesting on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page: “I wouldn’t put it past the writers to have Tom King as his secret child.”
The theory has sparked a mix of reactions, with one user commenting, “Uhm, what? That is gross.”
Others are intrigued by the potential drama, with one fan saying, “This would be sick but epic. I can picture the Dingles’ faces now.” Another viewer noted, “Never say never. The writers have rewritten history before.”
