Charity is concerned to hear about Tom\u2019s job interview in Wales, and his and Belle\u2019s sudden departure from the village.<\/p>\n

Charity calls Cain and, as her anxiety rises, she tells Cain that Tom reminds her of her own abuser Mark Bails (Rocky Marshall).<\/p>\n

Cain struggles to get in touch with Belle, and when Charity learns that Belle has missed all her mental health appointments, she and Cain break into Tom and Belle\u2019s house, where Cain is alarmed to find Tom\u2019s surveillance equipment.<\/p>\n

After finding an address for the Welsh cottage and Belle\u2019s phone in a drawer, the pair set off to find Belle. They arrive at the trashed cottage, which is stained with blood \u2013 but Belle is missing.<\/p>\n

Charity and Cain are terrified over what this means, but Emmerdale soon flashes back to the beginning of Belle and Tom\u2019s \u2018holiday\u2019, where the couple seem happy and loved-up.<\/p>\n

Belle is upset to have \u2018lost\u2019 her phone, while Tom begins his manipulations, and Belle is confused to hear her husband arranging a longer rental for the cottage.<\/p>\n

The week plays out with frightening consequences for Belle as Tom exerts his coercive control over her, but will Cain and Charity track down Belle?<\/p>\n

Emmerdale has already confirmed a standalone special<\/a> episode for the next twist in this distressing story.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, star Chase discussed how the villagers take notice of Tom\u2019s behaviour<\/a> in an exclusive chat at the RadioTimes.com<\/b><\/span>\u00a0Soap Awards 2024<\/strong>\u00a0sponsored by\u00a0Inspired Villages<\/a>.<\/p>\n
