Belle has a big decision to make in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Tom’s abuse has left Belle feeling violated

Belle is still reeling from the discovery that Tom was spying on her.

After being alerted by Kim that Dale Head was in a mess, Belle paid a visit to her former marital home. Inside, she discovered a screw lying on the floor and realised, to her horror, it belonged to a camera.

Belle knew in that moment that Tom must have rigged the device up and been using it to secretly film her. This is just the latest in a long line of sickening crimes, which so far, Tom has got away with.

But will Belle change that by going to the police?

2. Belle refuses to report Tom

Concerned for Belle’s safety with Tom still on the loose, Lydia gently urges her to go to the police. But sadly it’s no use. Belle refuses to report Tom through fear of having to relive her trauma and share personal footage in a public court room.

However, after taking some time to reflect on everything, Belle starts to come round to the idea.

She goes to Lydia for support, and asks if she’ll share her own experience of turning Craig into the cops.

3. Lydia opens up to Belle

Despite the trauma of having to revisit harrowing memories, Lydia agrees to share her story with Belle in the hope it will inspire her to take action.

Afterwards, the ladies gaze over the Dingle land as they reflect on their difficult day. Belle is feeling thoughtful, but comforted by Lydia’s support.

United together, Lydia hopes she’s said enough to encourage Belle to go to the police. Is justice finally about to be served? And will the police be able to locate Tom?
