Spoilers: Nicola realises Carl’s afraid of Tom – is he starting to unravel?

Nicola King notices that young Carl Jr seems to be scared of cousin Tom in Emmerdale spoilers next week. This comes after little Carl witnessed Tom smash up his tablet into pieces and was then bullied into silence.

Tom, of course, has a history of abuse towards anyone and everyone he perceives as ‘weaker’ than him – from long-suffering ex-wife Belle Dingle to Piper the Pup, through to poor unsuspecting Vinnie (ouch) and little Isaac too. Carl Jr was the latest of Tom’s victims, getting in his way after seeing him smash up his tablet, which had been full of incriminating videos of Belle.

Tom disposes of the evidence

If found, the tablet would have cleared Belle’s name. Tom‘s nasty little secret was almost revealed when Isaac stole the device, putting it in Moira’s hands. Moira then watched a few of Tom’s videos and realised exactly what he had been up to.

Unfortunately, before she could tell anyone what she had seen, Moira suffered a seizure and forgot all about the tablet. In the days which followed, Tom snuck into Butlers Farm, took the gadget back and disposed of the evidence.

This he did by smashing up the incriminating piece of equipment in his own garden. However, he’d been unaware at the time that someone had been snooping – Carl Jr, watching through the window as Tom disposed of the evidence.

Tom managed to keep Carl quiet, but for how long? And will Nicola finally begin to realise that something’s not right with Tom?
