OK but for what purpose ?

Doubt it, Claire King was on This Morning or some other daytime programme and said there is a 3rd person involved but could not say anything else, obviously

Could it be Caleb? His whole purpose in coming to Emmerdale was to bring down Kim, so he could take over what he thought was his, Home Farm, as Frank Tate was his father.

Caleb was a really interesting thought!

I was thinking that Kim was behind it until her interview. Now I'm wondering whether Jade has been branching out.

I was a bit disappointed in the trial, although I had predicted the outcome.

I wanted Charity and Cain to testify about the blood on the door and Belle's bandaged hand (have they made that correlation yet? They sure believed Tom's version at the time).

I wished the police had reopened the evidence for Vinny's attack, knowing what they know now.

I wanted Belle to talk about how any love for her family sent Tom into a rage so much so that he destroyed her mother's ashes.

I wanted discussion of the burglary and how there was no actual police report despite his insistence that he reported it and how the search of pawn shops didn't turn up those rings, until Tom miraculously found it.

I wanted them to discuss how Tom miraculously turned up wherever Belle was going. I wanted them to discuss Tom hitting Piper with his car and I wish that Rhona said that she wasn't working on Piper all night with Tom.

I wanted Angelica to discuss how Tom's solicitor came to her and how malicious Tom was with his response to her. I wanted the towns people discussing how they saw Tom violently dragging Amelia out of the house. Even the police saw that one, but Amelia said that Tom never hurt her. That's not true, and it was witnessed.

But even still, I thought it was a really good episode, although three years is definitely not enough, and we'll probably have him back on the show in that time to stir up more havoc.

I got a bit teary learning that Belle had been to a support group when I was all frustrated with her for sitting on a park bench. I read that the women in that group were real life abused women. I thought that to be a very well thought out culmination to the story.

[Son of Cain]

Tom is guilty but only got 3 years, so out in 18 months, cannot believe it will end here. What next, escape? Or revenge in 18 months. Karl the foreman's logic was a bit strange. Thought he was not guilty, until he started going through the evidence with Heidi, then has doubts when they discuss the cameras as if he was hearing about them for the first time, but had already heard all the evidence in the court.

It is not over yet.

[lizann]

tom was too cool after the verdict going back to prison, has he another plan with his solicitor, thought he'd get a longer sentence

[ccahill2]

If this is like my American soaps, Tom will feign illness to be sent to the hospital and will escape from there. But I hope that this doesn't happen.

[ccahill2]

If his solicitor does appeal, I hope that they ultimately find the fake grave with an empty basket or one with an old boot in it and then Belle is reunited and brings Piper to court as further evidence beyond that presented in this trial.

Maybe it's my wishful thinking, but I'm happy with my little fantasy.
