Emmerdale pulled off air amid storyline that’s left fans ‘screaming at the TV in frustration’
Emmerdale has a huge schedule shake up next week with the ITV show will be replaced by football on Thursday (10 October) as England take on Greece in the UEFA Nations League Live. It comes after viewers say they were left ‘screaming in frustration’ on Thursday night as Moira Dingle came ‘so close yet so far’ to exposing Tom King for his stalking and abuse towards Belle Dingle.
The Yorkshire based soap usually runs on weekdays at 7:30pm, with the broadcaster giving fans an extra half an hour on Thursdays, with hour long episodes. However, fans will have to go without their hour fix next week. It comes after fans have been taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their frustration over the ongoing Tom and Belle abuse storyline.
The latest developments saw Belle attack Tom with an axe after enduring months of abuse. However, once again, Tom had used his manipulative techniques, telling her he wouldn’t inform the police that she was behind the attack, if she dropped the abuse allegations.

Tom then lied to the police, telling them it was two ‘random men’ who had attacked him, with viewers left fearing that he may be framing fan favourites Cain and Aaron for the attacks. However, at the end of the episode, Belle revealed the truth and handed in the weapon. “I’ve attacked my husband in self-defence, he wanted to kill me, I’m a victim of domestic abuse,” she said.
Thursday night’s episode saw Belle’s sister-in-law Moira Dingle come very close to exposing Tom, as the infamous iPad, with evidence of him stalking Belle came into her hands. Moira found the footage Belle needed to expose Tom, however, a huge twist was in store.

Just as Moira went to reveal all, she became unwell and suffered a seizure, amid her brain tumour diagnosis. When Belle found Moira, she’d forgotten about the iPad and what she’d seen, and had become unaware of the iPad or its importance.
The ‘so close yet so far’ storyline seemed to enrage viewers on X, formerly known as Twitter, as they took to the site to rant.
“I was shouting at tv in frustration!!” exclaimed one, while another wrote: “Stopped watching it after half an hour. Why didn’t Moira just phone the police to retrieve the tablet? Why didn’t Mac & Matty put two & two together when Belle told them Moira saw important footage and she just so happens to have a tablet and doesn’t know where its come from?”
A third questioned: “Who is finding this episode annoying?”
