Emmerdale spoilers: Charity and Cain hunt for missing Belle but they could be too late

Next week’s Emmerdale spoilers have revealed Charity finally acting on her worries. She’s been fretting over Belle’s marriage for a while and now she’s taking action!

But as she enlists Cain’s help to get to the bottom of what’s going on, will they be too late to save Belle from Tom’s manipulative clutches?

We really, really, really hope not!

Emmerdale spoilers: Charity reveals all to Cain

Charity has been worried about Belle for a few weeks. She tried to talk to her about her marriage to Tom a while ago, but Belle shut down all Charity’s attempts to get her to open up.

Luckily for Belle, Charity hasn’t given up. She’s been keeping an eye on the younger Dingle and making sure things are okay from a distance.

So when Charity hears about Tom’s job interview in Wales, she’s not happy. And when she realises that he and Belle have gone away from the village, she frets about what’s really going on.

She can’t shake her worries, so she calls Cain and tells him that Tom reminds her of Bails – the dodgy policeman who abused her as a teenager.

Charity suffered badly at the hands of Bails, and eventually turned the tables years later as an adult when she testified against him in court and saw him banged up for what he did to her.

But she’s still haunted by his abuse which is why when she tells Cain what she sees in Tom, Cain takes her worries seriously.

In fact, the next day, when he can’t get hold of Belle either, he’s soon concerned about his younger sister, too.

What’s going on?

Determined to work out what’s up with Belle, Charity does some digging. She calls Belle’s mental health team and she discovers that Belle’s been missing her mental health appointments. That’s definitely not a good sign!

So with both Dingles increasingly uneasy, they decide it’s time to act.

Taking matters into their own hands, they break into Tom and Belle’s house. They rummage through their belongings, determined to find out where they’ve gone.

But they’re alarmed by Tom’s surveillance equipment – creepy! And when Charity finds Belle’s phone shoved in a drawer, she’s even more concerned.

Trashed!

Luckily, they find an address for a cottage in Wales where Belle and Tom are staying. They decide the only thing they can do is head off there themselves.

But they’re frantic when they arrive at the cottage to find it trashed with blood on the walls!

Belle’s nowhere to be found, though. Where is she? Where is Tom? And have Charity and Cain arrived too late?!
