Emmerdale: Tom in hospital bed

With Tom going to extremes to prevent his trial from taking place, Emmerdale fans have begged for justice to be served.

Last night (Monday, December 16), a code red was called at the prison as news spread that Tom had attempted to take his own life.

But, the whole thing was just another one of Tom’s lies – and quite frankly, fans have had enough.

Tom fake attempt leaves Emmerdale fans furious

With his court date fast approaching, Tom made one last attempt to get out his trial by faking a suicide attempt last night.

After a code red was called in the prison, Tom was taken to hospital where he was told that his wounds were fortunately superficial.

Belle, Jimmy and Amelia all found out the news and couldn’t help but cast their minds back to the last time Tom had tried to do something similar. Notice a pattern here?

Sam seemed to be the only one who could see through Tom’s lies though, knowing that he was up to no good.

Back at the hospital, Ollie visited Tom after got confirmation that Tom’s suicide attempt was all an act in a bid to stop Belle from turning up to court. He reckoned things could go his way if he could make Belle feel guilty for his situation.

And now, after Tom hit yet another low, fans are desperate for justice to be served ASAP.

One fan commented: “He winds me up. Surely this storyline should come to an end soon, lock him up and have done.”

Another person added: “Just hurry up and finish this story line. It’s dragging on too long.”

A third viewer agreed: “Please put us out of our agony, had enough of this story.”

When will the Tom storyline end?

Tom’s abuse storyline is set to come to an end this month as he finally gets his comeuppance (about time!)

There’s no worming out of this one as the net closes in on him. Court scenes are due to air this week. Tom puts on a show as he reckons he’s won the jury over.

With Belle a no show, the Dingles desperately search for Belle so that there’s more chance of a conviction. But, what will the verdict be? Here’s hoping to Tom’s final scenes being him locked up in a cell!
