Emmerdale: Tom spies on Belle via a secret camera The fate of Emmerdale ’s beloved dog Piper has been confirmed - and fans will be devastated. Fans will recall how Tom King (James Chase) has been abusing and gaslighting his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) for months. Recently though, Belle managed to break free and told Tom that their marriage is over.
However, despite them not being together, he has been trying to win her back with several grand gestures. Meanwhile Belle is none the wiser that Tom has secretly set up cameras in her home - and is watching her every move. And during Friday’s instalment (August 16) sinister Tom sank to new lows as he attacked Belle’s beloved dog piper.
In the episode, Tom cornered Belle at the Woolpack where Sam’s (James Hooton) birthday party was taking place. Standing her ground, Belle told Tom she’d prefer if he didn’t attend her family’s celebrations - leaving him fuming. He grabbed her wrists and started to threaten her.
