Meanwhile, Coronation Street hinted at Alya’s longer-term future as she bowed out from the cobbles for a while, and another Hollyoaks exit announcement was made.
But with a typically busy week of soap headlines, did you miss any gossip? Here’s our weekly round-up of the major news that came our way this week.
More trauma ahead for Emmerdale’s Belle
Emmerdale‘s special ‘dinner party’ edition focusing on Tom, Belle, Marlon and Rhona proved to be one of the show’s most powerful episodes in recent memory.
The unique format, showing different perspectives of the same evening, perfectly illustrated how appearances can be deceptive when it comes to abusers like Tom.
On the day the episode aired, Emmerdale dropped further spoilers for next week’s episodes – confirming that Tom’s next move will be to start exerting control over Belle’s finances by opening up a joint bank account. Other scenes will see Tom step up his attempts to isolate Belle from her family.
Worrying spoiler pictures were also released, previewing another violent incident in next week’s episodes.
