Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Dennis tanner]

Well iv'e always liked Kim up until then but that episode did it for me, so far fetched, not sure what the scriptwriters were thinking. Kim has always been very subltle in he revenge, that was so unlike her.

Kim has a quandry. She wants revenge but she doesn't want to be alone.

That grave scene was more of a Halloween episode, just shown on another day.

I missed the start of the episode where Tom apparently tries to kill himself... how did he try?

I do not think you missed anything. Episode opened with bell ringing and guard striding thru prison saying "Code Red, THOMAS KING". Later Belle receives a phone call and says "What's happened - is it serious". We then see Jimmy, Amelia joined by Belle and Sam where Jimmy tells them Tom tried to kill himself. Seems Belle's phone call only told her he had been rushed to A& E. Cut to Tom in a hospital bed where a doctor tells him the lacerations are superficial and he will need to be assessed by a psychologist. Tom then got angry with the doctor because everyone knows. Seems odd that if he had given up on life that he would care about something like that. Pretty poor episode, action off screen, to save money ?.

He "pretended" to get angry. As the doctor walked away Tom smirked to himself, because "everyone will know", knowing full well that would include Belle. So still doing his evil manipulation of Belle even from his hospital bed.

Thanks, I just saw the bit with the guards shouting so not missed anything. Cannot wait for Thursday ..

You definitely didn't miss anything. His wrists were bandaged, so it looks like he found a sharp object that he used to pretend that he was slitting his wrists, but he just made surface cuts without doing any real damage. I suspect you'd have deeper wounds from playing with a kitten.

I don't believe there were any actual cuts.

I'm glad that Tom was lifted higher with the thought that he manipulated Belle into not showing up, because his fall will be that much greater.

I just wish that Angel were there to tell about his plan with his solicitor, to really drum home that this is repeated behavior and not with one woman.

I hope Kim has worked out what's going on, Will and his 'we get to live rent free' daughter deserve everything that's coming to them.

Looking forward to seeing the smile wiped off Toms face when he sees Belle in court.
