Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[johntrevor]

Question for long-term viewers.

I'm beginning to watch some older episodes of Emmerdale and am currently watching early 2019. It seems that Belle is calling the police because she believes that Lachlin sent her something akin to the flowers that she said that Tom sent her.

Is this a trend with Belle? Obviously she's been involved with some people who have turned out to be horrible, but I'm wondering whether some haven't accepted what she was initially claiming because of memories of past behavior (where it looks like to me, she was obviously right but not everything yet has unfolded for me to know for sure).

Back in around 2014 Belle accidently killed her friend Gemma over an argument about a boy, Sean Spencer, who was Amelia's brother. They both fancied him and as they argued Belle pushed her to the ground and Gemma hit her head on a rock and died. Belle turned herself in to the police and got 3 years, she was out after 1 year, following a successful appeal. After being released she started hearing Gemma's voice all the while telling her to do bad things, this eventually lead to her being diagnosed with shizophrenia.
