Emmerdale fans were left fuming as Tom King<\/a> managed to swindle his way back into work. Tom had been on suspension after Belle\u2019s allegations against him became public knowledge \u2013 with bosses Paddy, Vanessa and Rhona believing her without hesitation.<\/p>

However, Tom wouldn\u2019t take losing his job lying down \u2013 first threatening to sue for unfair dismissal, and then threatening Paddy<\/a>.\u00a0 Last Friday\u2019s episode saw Tom tell Paddy that he\u2019d air all the vets\u2019 dirty laundry if he didn\u2019t get his job back.<\/p>\n

Chief among his employers\u2019 supposed crimes was their not charging the Dingles for their bills. This, Tom felt would surely destroy the business if people found out. And it seems Paddy agreed, as Tom was back to work at the surgery this week.<\/p>\n

In last night\u2019s episode (airing Thursday, November 22), Tom clashed with Vanessa<\/a>, who was not best pleased to be working with an abuser again.<\/p>
