Emmerdale fans fear Tom could manipulate Charles

Emmerdale fans have already started predicting trouble for Charles Anderson when Tom King returns to the village, with some viewers fearing that the vicar could become the latest person manipulated by Belle Dingle’s former abuser.

Tom’s impending release from prison has already left Belle facing the prospect of seeing him again, but viewers are now looking beyond her immediate reaction and wondering who else Tom could become involved with after his return.

Some fans believe Charles could be drawn into Tom’s plans, with one theory suggesting that Tom could potentially use Charles’s home as his address after leaving prison.

One viewer asked: “Why have I got a horrible feeling that Charles’s house will be Tom’s ‘verified address’ when he gets out?”

Another replied: “I thought the same. I bet Tom will be living with Charles when he’s released.”

A third viewer warned: “Watch out, Charles! Tom is manipulating him as well as Belle. This is a horror show waiting to happen.”

The theory is not confirmed, however keen eyed viewers are already considering how Tom could try to rebuild his life after his release and whether people around Belle could become caught up in his return.

With Tom’s prison release approaching, fans are clearly expecting his comeback to create further complications for Belle and those closest to her.
