Emmerdale tonight: Liam lashed out, Tom's still lurking

Emmerdale tonight saw Liam totally forget every single bit of his medical training and accuse Ella of never being pregnant. Talk about bad bedside manner from the doc!

Meanwhile, Tom continues to watch Belle, and Kim finally remembered who she is and took revenge. Shame she did it on the wrong person, though.

Emmerdale tonight: Liam didn’t believe Ella’s pregnancy claim

It looked like Liam was starting to come round to the idea of being a dad again. But just as he warmed to it, Ella told him he couldn’t come to the scan as he’d ruin it for her with his attitude.

Liam eventually did go with her when her taxi didn’t show up. But heartbreak struck at the scan the sonographer couldn’t find a baby. As she went off to find a doctor, Liam said: “I knew it. There is no foetus. Ella, you’re not pregnant and you never were, were you?”

Liam then stormed out. Never mind waiting for an explanation from the medical team, Dr Liam knew best and knew she had lied. He then told Paddy he wanted her gone.

But Ella had been called by Manpreet after she ran away from the hospital. Manpreet told her she had had an anembryonic pregnancy – also known as a blighted ovum or silent miscarriage. There was a real baby.

Manpreet also commented Liam should have seen this before. Well, exactly. What sort of a doctor is he? Actually don’t answer that, he’s barely ever at work anyway.

Tom’s still lurking

So, we know Tom and Belle and the abuse storyline is going to go on until the end of the year. But now she’s left him, what we can expect is months of him lurking. Joy.

That’s exactly what he’s been doing so far this week. He started out in the café, acting suspiciously with his newly purchased key for Belle’s house. The least hard working vet in Emmerdale also didn’t bother to turn up for work, but hey, who needs a job, right?!

Meanwhile, mental health worker Rachel visited Belle at home after she missed her appointment again. Frustratingly, Rachel couldn’t see through Belle’s lies that she was “taking control of her life” – when she clearly wasn’t because she’s still covering for Tom.

But once Rachel had left, Belle started to search ‘was I being abused?’ on her laptop. Hallelujah!

And later Belle was seen taking the cameras down. Hallelujah again! Is she actually taking control? We don’t believe it yet…

Lydia stopped to talk to her and Tom was – you guessed it – lurking in the bushes watching everything. Let’s call him Peeping Tom from now on, eh?

Emmerdale tonight: Kim took revenge – on the wrong person

Kim was playing Russian spy in the café, her plot against Caleb taking shape. Lydia was worried Kim would get burned, but she needn’t have been because Kim was apparently wearing Kevlar knickers. Not the underwear we had Ms Tate down for.

Elsewhere, Caleb got a call saying his car firm had been burnt down. He went to see the place and came back to see a detective waiting, who suspected arson – and clearly suspected Caleb had done it himself for the insurance.

“If it does confirm arson, I will find out who’s responsible,” she told him. But honestly, that’s a bold statement from the Hotten police who couldn’t solve a crime if it was committed right in front of their eyes and the culprit said: “It was me!”, so we doubt Caleb has much to worry about.

During dinner at the Woolpack, Caleb – tucking into what looked like an entire roast chicken (must’ve been hungry) – dismissed Ruby‘s theory Kim was behind it. Kim made jibes at him and it made her confused when he didn’t react.

Has she got the wrong person? (Spoiler alert: Yep!)

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Jai is giving Laurel a really hard time at work. Someone should tell him if he wants to win her back this isn’t the best way to go about it.

But baby Jai told her she needed to show him “the proper respect” – should take a look in the mirror, Jai, if you’re talking about showing respect.

Jai then took things up a gear when he got an email from Laurel’s solicitor and he accused her of trying to take him for everything. “You kicked me out and now you want to rinse me?” he incredulously asked.

“I am entitled to my fair share,” Laurel stood her ground. The battle lines are drawn and this split is about to get messy as well as boring. Oops, sorry we meant interesting.

Elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight…

Kim commented that Jimmy was ‘hot’ – it was said with a hint of sarcasm, but Jimmy took it and ran with the ‘compliment’ – well, when you’re married to Nicola, you’ll take whatever compliments you can get!
