Emmerdale reveals Dingle fury as huge Samson outcome is revealed

Emmerdale's Dingle family face all-out chaos next week, as it's revealed that Cain ordered a revenge attack on Tom King in prison – kicking off a bitter feud that leaves the clan divided.

When Cain admits that he organised Tom's violent assault at the hands of Samson, the clan falls to pieces. As Sam unleashes his fury at Cain, a vicious fight breaks out, while Belle is left fearing for her life as she worries that her ex will want payback…

"Everything comes to light and tears the family apart," reveals Eden Taylor-Draper, who plays Belle.

"The Dingles shift instantly from being united and joyful to completely falling apart. Cain has placed Belle in danger, as Tom will inevitably seek revenge against her."

The mood at Wishing Well starts happily as the Dingles prepare for Samson's return home, but everything changes when Charles Anderson arrives to tell Belle that Tom has been hospitalised after an assault. The family learns Cain organised the whole thing – and ordered Samson to do his dirty work.

Tension builds as the family accuses Cain of throwing Samson under the bus because of everything that happened with Matty. Suddenly Sam explodes when he realises his son isn't coming home because of Cain's meddling. But as the family go to war, Belle fears that Tom might retaliate…

"Belle feels extremely vulnerable," shares Eden. "Knowing that Cain organised the attack feels like a massive betrayal. Her heightened risk stems from her own brother, and it's truly heartbreaking. It leaves her feeling like she's without a support system, just when she needs one most."

The family row escalates, as Sam demands Cain and Moira move out. Caught in the middle, Belle lashes out at her brothers and shocks the room by announcing that she's going to talk to Tom.

Despite her family's objections, Belle heads to the hospital. Kammy Hadiq tries his best to calm her nerves, but Belle braces herself and makes the brave decision to go in alone.

"Belle feels compelled to see Tom because she knows he will seek revenge,” explains Eden. "She also wants to clarify that she had no part in the violence and offer an apology to prevent further escalation.

"But her determination gives way to nervousness, making her feel completely terrified until she steps into the room alone."

How will Belle react when she sees Tom again? And will he leave her in peace after Cain's revenge – or will he use the situation to his advantage?

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
