EMMERDALE fans have blasted the show as the latest violent scenes left them seething.
Viewers of the long-running ITV soap were less than impressed as evil Tom King went to attack Belle.
Fans will know the character is expecting his baby – but is adamant she doesn’t want to keep it.
But in Tuesday’s episode Tom snapped at Belle, accusing her off ‘mouthing off’ about him.
Lashing out, Tom raised his hand to hit Belle before she cried out for him to stop, admitting she was pregnant.
After hearing the news, he immediately backed down but for viewers at home it all became too much.
Lashing out at Emmerdale bosses one said: “Sinks to an all-time low. The Belle story has gone too far.”
A second wrote: “God this Belle storyline is dragging on.”
“Is anyone getting bored of this Belle and Tom storyline it’s ridiculous how long this has been going on for now,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “I get the importance of raising awareness to coercive control, but this storyline’s doing my nut in. It’s been dragging on for months, no-one’s the wiser & there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight for Belle. It’s time to make Tom pay.”
Meanwhile, in upcoming scenes viewers will see Belle make the heartbreaking decision to terminate her pregnancy.
She is also stunned to discover that Tom has been tracking her every move on his mobile phone.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
