The aftermath of Tom King’s brutal attack has ignited a whirlwind of speculation among Emmerdale fans, as the mystery

deepens surrounding who is truly responsible. While Belle Dingle initially seemed to be in the spotlight, theories are emerging

that suggest there might be more to the story, particularly involving Vinnie Dingle.

After Belle ended her tumultuous relationship with Tom, his threats escalated, culminating in a dramatic confrontation where Belle defended herself with an axe. Despite this, Tom survived and is now claiming he has no memory of the attack. However, shortly after waking up in the hospital, he made a chilling call to Belle, hinting that if she doesn’t comply with his demands, he might manipulate the situation to his advantage.

Fans are increasingly convinced that Tom may be plotting to frame Vinnie Dingle, who found Tom after the attack and mistakenly declared him dead before help arrived. This has led to rampant theories online, with many speculating that Tom could twist the narrative to make Vinnie the scapegoat for the assault.

Adding to the intrigue, viewers noticed some inconsistencies in Tom’s hospital scene. After sustaining an axe wound to his spine, fans questioned why he was lying on his back, suggesting that he might be exaggerating or even faking his injuries as part of a manipulative scheme against both Belle and Vinnie.

As police pressure mounts, Belle’s family, including Lydia and Charity, are working to protect her by creating an alibi. However, the question remains: how long can they keep the truth hidden? If Tom proceeds with his plan to frame Vinnie, will Belle be forced to confess to save her friend?

With Tom still recovering in the hospital and Belle’s future uncertain, the tension is palpable in the village. Fans are left wondering who truly attacked Tom and whether Vinnie is innocent or part of a larger deception.
