Emmerdale star Emma Atkins on Tom's downfall as Charity strikes

Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has revealed that Charity will finally cotton on to the truth that not all is well with Belle and Tom. In fact, she has teased Charity could be Tom’s downfall. Hallelujah!

The actress states it’s all down to her own personal history with evil DI Bails. That’s what makes Charity realise something is up. But as she pressures Belle to reveal all, can she get to the truth and help Belle?

We really hope so!

Charity’s suspicions of Tom grow – and it’s about time

In upcoming Emmerdale spoilers, Charity is growing very concerned about Belle’s behaviour. She wants Belle to open up and tries to get the other Dingle women – Chas, Lydia and Mandy to help her. But the safe space turns toxic when the questions about her marriage overwhelm Belle and she rushes out.

Charity follows and won’t let it lie, determined to get her to open up. But emotional Belle sees Tom approaching and violently pushes Charity away before running off.

Tom spins yet another tall tale that Belle is struggling with her mental health – and everyone apart from Charity buys it. But with the Dingles taking Tom’s side, has Charity missed her chance to prove it?

Tom then sets about planning to take Belle to a remote part of Wales – he tells her it’s just a holiday, but actually he is interviewing for a job there. He knows Charity is suspicious and if he wants to keep control he has to get Belle away from her family as soon as possible.

Emmerdale star Emma Atkins says ‘Charity’s on to Tom’

Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, has revealed Charity knows exactly what Tom’s game is – and it’s all thanks to men like DI Bails. Charity was abused and raped by Bails and eventually saw him convicted years after the fact.

Now, as an adult, she knows the signs and knows what to look out for. Her one problem? Getting everyone else to see them too.

Referring to Charity’s past experience with Bails, Emma told Entertainment Daily: “I felt that if anyone was going to recognise those signs of abuse, it probably would be Charity, because she’s lived and breathed it in her past. She starts to notice behavioural changes in Belle.”

Emma then went on to say: “She’s on to him [Tom], and I think that’s going to excite the audience in a way, because everybody’s saying ‘when is he going to get found out?’ So I think they’ll enjoy the fact that someone’s on to him, finally!”

So far, Charity’s efforts have amounted to nothing – but then we know she doesn’t let anything get in her way usually. In Charity versus Tom, we know who our money’s on!
