Fans of Emmerdale have been celebrating the return of no-nonsense Charity Dingle to the soap. This came as she shared her concern for Belle’s well-being after learning about Tom’s job interview in Wales.
Confiding in Cain, she spoke of how Tom’s demeanor reminded her of that of monstrous Bails – and worried that Belle may need rescuing from her manipulative husband.
This marks a change in Charity, who this year has struggled with her own guilt after killing gangster Damon ‘Harry’ Harris in defense of her husband, Mack. As he mental health declined, she struggled with night terrors and panic attacks – even stabbing Mack during a fit of terrified confusion.
Charity worries for Belle amid Tom’s abuse
However, recent weeks have seen Charity grow suspicious of Tom as his campaign of control and abuse has escalated against Belle. Sensing that something was amiss with their relationship, she confronted Belle, who pushed her away – insisting that all is fine.
Charity wouldn’t be deterred though, and is determined to uncover the truth. Last night, she confided in Cain, sharing her suspicions of Tom.
It appears that the Charity of old is back!
