They clocked the cameras, the book detailing all Belle\u2019s spends, Belle\u2019s phone hidden in a drawer and they realised all was not as it seemed with the pair.<\/p>\n<p>BUT as soon as they caught up with Tom at the cottage and found out Belle had an abortion, they totally changed their stance. Suddenly Tom was the put upon, martyred husband, while Belle was the baddie for having a termination. And that\u2019s a stance that left us feeling a little uncomfortable. It\u2019s 2024, people. No woman has to stay pregnant if she doesn\u2019t want to \u2013 even a Dingle woman \u2013 and no one should judge her for that decision.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-258\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/06\/23_05_emm_tom_belle_03-e1719400520832.jpg\" alt=\"Emmerdale review Belle pushes Tom to the ground and screams at him in Emmerdale\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1476\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tom\u2019s managed to make himself the victim again, just as he did before (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Glimmers of hope<\/h2>\n<p>With Cain and Charity now firmly Team Tom, things looked bleak for Belle.

Though when he pointed out it was abusive, she denied it. Vinny\u2019s a smart cookie though, and \u2013 as he himself said \u2013 he knows what it\u2019s like to be abused.
