The hand held camera work makes this episode even more unsettling. So good, well done everyone at telling such an important story.

[@speedysimon666]

This kind of abuse happens in real life, but remember this is only acting and both of them are playing a great role.

[@Themis33]

The sad thing is that lots of toxic couples like this have kids. Then, their damaged kids grow into adults who get into toxic relationships.... And so the cycle continues....😢

[@BlueAndWhiteAreRight]

​@nes-vl5oq it is toxic couples yeah we see tom doing that to belle but women do the very same thing to men as well

[@daynaclarkson]

Omg belle 😢😢 this episode was gut wrenching to see and watch but yes there's a but. It raises awareness for ppl who currently and have gone through this manipulative, cohersive, narcissistic and abusive behaviour 😢😢😢. The actor that plays Tom is doing it so well.. coz us viewers me for sure bloody hate tom can't stand him. 😡😠.. and eden is portraying belle with this storyline so well. Oh belle we see you. We love you. ❤💔. Your not alone. 😢

Tom has played a great part. I love watch real true to life sensitive storylines and when soaps cover real life topics to bring awareness rather than far fetched nonsensical stories. Great acting from James ❤

[@melgrant7404]

Great acting from both of them. All she has to do is walk away from all this but I guess it's easier said than done.

[@callumbarrington898]

So they brought Tom back just to make him an abusive monster. What a shame. All that whining he made about Carl when he came back to the village and he does this. He makes his dad look like a saint- and he killed his own father!

How’s he make him look like a saint? He hasn’t killed anyone whereas his dad has.

[@305jayden]

What a great episode

[@NeekoFreeman]

I know a lot of people want Cain to deal with Tom but I really hope this story focuses on Belle. We don't need Cain to swoop in with his fists.

[@mariamzare4731]

He shouldn't overstepped, but he HAS to deal with Tom, he needs to understand the wrong he did, he is gonna send Belle so far back with her mental health so he needs to suffer. And what he did to Vinny...

[@zs24689]

Yeah that’s true, I want Cain to in the end because this was actually upsetting the way she goes “Tom your burning me”

[@mr.thegreat557]

People in the comments saying this storyline is dragging on have forgotten that they only met each other and got married about 10 episodes ago.

[@sgnjamcitydevteam6913]

They’re doing a really good job at showing what abuse is like. And, yes, Belle needs to fight back and stop acting like the victim here. She just needs to go tell someone, and get him sent down.

[@amyhackett8387]

Stop acting like the victim? She IS the victim 🤨🤨

[@KRPTV]

Imagine if Cain found out what Tom has been doing! Hope he does!

[@wazzup-jd7tj]

Cain is a softy these days 🙈

[@Rheinmeister09]

The next steps she should be taking are out that door never to step foot inside it again only to collect her stuff. But we know that next week he wants control of her money by merging bank accounts

[@rapidsmartypants]

The last thing I want is another Gray Atkins (Eastenders). Someone needs to see what he’s really like before he kills somebody.

[@EastEnders-dl8pr]

Keep watching Emmerdale 😂

[@davethewife7628]

I hope this story runs for a while..between belle and tom. It shouldnt be rushed but drawn out like in real life. Emmerdale is so good..best soap on television

[@susanpowell4633]

I’m so sick of this storyline already. We saw this in coronation street with Yasmin and also in Eastenders. Belle is a Dingle, and no Dingle would put up with this. Anybody else in the village but not someone from the Dingle clan. She knows how dangerous her family can be and still she puts up with this bully, really! They need to wrap up this storyline now.

[@cmae6]

Domestic violence doesn’t just get “wrapped up”

[@emmajess5123]

This reminds me of Chantelle from Eastenders. I hope it doesn’t end the same way 😢

[@Roxi22RNAF]

Tom wants kids so badly when he can’t accept belle doesn’t want any

[@aaronarshad3687]

Hopefully this shows how bad he can get in Belle Eyes that he means willful harm and yet calls her a great wife.

[@dig3671]

Please script writers, make Belle get the upper hand in a witty and amusing way, being brave and inspiring.

[@lakephillip]

Tom's character has turned disgusting, and I find myself ff'd through his scenes with Belle. I can't wait for Tom getting found out, and his comeuppance. It is such an abusive relationship. I hope she doesn't snap.

[@aoifeshannon3434]

Even though Lachlan was a sociopathic killer at least he didn’t abuse Belle unlike Tom.

[@MindfulnessGamer]

Tell your family what he’s been doing, get audio recording as evidence, move out, get divorced. Problem solved

[@grantmcroberts4089]

well clearly you don't know the law then because you can't just record someone on audio unless you know the law as you have to hit a certain criteria to get it admissible in court and stop making out it is easy when it ain't so unless you are in that person situation you can't talk
