It’s becoming clearer that Emmerdale’s Tom King (James Chase) is trying to trap Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and control every element of her life – has he finally managed to do it by getting her pregnant?
Belle made it abundantly clear she is not ready for a family, much to Tom’s chagrin – she has life to live before she has her children.
Her career is going in the right direction, she’s got hopes to still start up her business. Life could be sweet, if Tom didn’t continue to pressure her.
His insecurities have been piqued by her closeness with Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), and her independence is a big bother for him, so he’s on a mission to get her locked down.
Narcissists don’t take no for an answer, and Tom is no different.
While outwardly he accepted delaying children, he’s been subtly trying to manipulate Belle into seeing his way of thinking.
Piper the dog was his first attempt at locking her down, and he recently used the pooch to cruelly remind Belle that her days of late nights and social life are done thanks to them having a dog.

But Belle isn’t totally blind to her husband’s manipulative ways, so when she realises she might be pregnant, it feels like her world might be ending.
Fearful of what this may mean for her future, she takes a test.
It turns out to be negative and she is utterly relieved, but Tom is completely disappointed. He can’t exactly control her getting pregnant, but it seems like he wants to try.
What will be his next move?
