HomeEmmerdaleTom targets a new victim in Emmerdale as Belle goes to the police

Yesterday, Belle’s heart was broken when she discovered her beloved dog Piper

had died. Last Friday, Tom drove into Piper after Belle defiantly told him to leave her

well alone. He then wrapped the dog up in a blanket, drove back to the village, and told Belle that he would do his upmost to try and save her. Tom and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) had been up all night trying to save Piper, with Rhona of course unaware that her colleague was the reason that the dog was badly injured in the first place. When it became clear nothing could be done, Tom broke the news to Belle.

She was, of course, devastated and said her goodbyes to her little friend, before leaving Tom to put the dog to sleep. In the aftermath, Tom was now in a position to comfort Belle and try to re-establish his place in her life, but as he laid it on a bit too thick she had a sudden realisation that he was the one who’d killed Piper.

In tonight’s episode, Belle made her way to the vets hoping to collect Piper’s body. When she arrived though, Tom confirmed that Piper wasn’t in the vets due to the small amount of space.

Belle assumed this was Tom’s way of saying he had disposed of Piper’s body already and she was horrified. Later on, at the Dingle household, Tom managed to change the situation so once again, he looked like the innocent party.
