Charity Gets Involved In Tom-Belle’s Abuse Storyline
In the most recent episode, Belle Dingle was so close to escaping her abusive husband, Tom King. However, a shocking call ruined her plans. It was about being electrocuted on the farm. This came after he found out Belle had an abortion, not a miscarriage. His rage led to an accident.
Next week, one of the Dingles comes to Belle’s resume. It’s no other than Charity Dingl! She starts noticing that Belle is acting differently. Emma Atkins explained how Charity figured it out. She mentioned that when Belle becomes more introverted, withdrawn, and reluctant to leave the house day by day,
She is even cutting off contact with friends, so Charity becomes concerned about Belle’s behaviour. Emma suggests that Tom’s manipulation might influence Belle’s actions. Despite the family being occupied with Matty and Samson’s ongoing conflict, Charity notices these signs and steps in to support Belle.
This comes from her own experiences as an abuse survivor. In the upcoming week, Charity plans a fun night out with Chas, Mandy, and Lydia at the Woolpack. However, trouble brews when Belle realises her family worries about her relationship with Tom. Charity gently nudges Belle to open up, but Belle gets mad and storms off.
‘Belle Has Already Closed The Shutters’ Says Emma Atkins
The Woolpack lady still follows her, urging her to let her in. Emma mentions that Charity promises she won’t interfere but wants Belle to know she is there to support her. She offered herself as a safe person to talk to. However, the soap star confirms, “I think Belle’s already closed the shutters, really, which is really sad.”
Next up, Tom shows up in his wheelchair. Seeing him, Belle shoves Charity away and heads home. However, Charity gets even more suspicious when Tom warns her to stay out of it. This abrupt shutdown leaves Charity stunned as she realises Tom’s extreme control over Belle.
On the good part, Belle now has someone watching over her, even though Charity knows she must be cautious. The actress anticipates viewers might feel frustrated by Belle’s situation.

I think Charity will eventually make Belle see sense and she will open up to her! Charity will probably try and get Belle on her own as she won’t open up with Tom around as she feels guilty, that’s how narcissists make you feel! They like to blame others and take no responsibility for their own actions! They are so controlling they start to believe their own rubbish and think they are innocent!
