Emmerdale fans fear Tom King is going to kill adored character

| Soaps Reporter Published October 22, 2026 9:43am Updated October 22, 2026 9:43am Tom will soon be out of prison (Picture: ITV) As Tom King’s (James Chase) return to Emmerdale looms, audience members are beginning to grow worried for a hugely loved character. Earlier this week, a liaison officer visited Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) and explained that her abusive ex-husband Tom would soon be out of prison. Belle was terrified. She was told that Tom’s licence conditions mean he cannot legally go anywhere near her, but Belle knew that a few rules wouldn’t stop him. Belle’s partner Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah) rushed to support her. He made it clear that he isn’t going to let anything bad happen to Belle – but what about him?

This sparks serious concern for Belle’s new partner. Tom has already shown that he’s willing to manipulate Belle to maintain control over her, but if he now sees Kammy as an obstacle to getting her back, could Belle’s new relationship put Kammy directly in Tom’s firing line? For some fans of the ITV soap, they believe Kammy should start looking over his shoulder soon. This fan wrote on x: ‘I am a bit worried that Tom is going to kill Kammy, when he comes out. That would be such a shame, as Kammy has been a lovely edition to the Dales. Why can’t the writers allow Belle to be fully be happy, for once!?’.

Real. Discussing his return to the show, James Chase said: ‘Stepping back into Tom’s shoes is a responsibility I don’t take lightly.
