Yesterday evening in Emmerdale (Wednesday, May 8), Belle tried to speak to Tom about what went down at the dinner party.

However, Tom told Belle that they needed to just forget about it and move forward.

Emmerdale fans have now called for Belle to take action and leave her abusive husband.

Emmerdale: Tom refused to discuss his behaviour with Belle

Last night, Belle asked Tom whether they could speak properly about what happened after the dinner party.

Tom initially agreed, but when Belle tried to talk about it he said that the topic had been discussed enough and no more needed to be said on the matter.

Belle then told Tom that he was acting really weirdly, pretending that nothing major had happened when he’d scalded her hands.

Tom, after previously giving Belle a bandage for her injury, then made out that she’d scalded herself. He took no responsibility for holding her hands under the boiling water.

Belle then agreed to forget what had happened, not wanting to end up with a broken marriage like Rhona and Marlon.

Emmerdale fans urge Belle to defend herself against Tom

Belle tried to stand up to Tom and confront him over his behaviour before backing down and going along with what Tom wanted.

One fan wondered: “Omg, Belle apologising to Tom. How can she do that after the way he was with her last night? Anyway, talking more won’t make any difference.”

Another person added: “I’m losing my patience with you Belle.”
