Emmerdale fans are once again on edge as Chas Dingle finds herself the target of a mysterious tormentor — stirring chilling memories of Tom King’s past crimes. Though Tom is currently serving time in prison, his sinister legacy still casts a dark shadow over the village. So what really happened to Tom King, and could he somehow still be pulling the strings?

Tom King’s terrifying abuse of Belle Dingle was one of Emmerdale’s most harrowing storylines in recent years. The character’s descent into coercive control sent shockwaves through viewers, culminating in a satisfying but emotional arc that saw Belle finally gain justice. In early 2024, Tom was sentenced to three years in prison for his controlling and abusive behavior, a pivotal moment that brought some closure to Belle’s traumatic ordeal.

But long before his abuse of Belle, Tom had already revealed disturbing behavior. He once targeted Chas Dingle in a chilling stalking storyline. Viewers will remember the disturbing scenes where Chas received photos with eyes scratched out, threatening calls from withheld numbers, and even had a glass bottle hurled at her outside the Woolpack. At the time, it was revealed that Tom was the man behind the curtain — a dangerous obsession that ended in heartbreak and fear.

Now, with both Chas and Liam being targeted again in recent episodes, questions are swirling. Could Ella be the new antagonist, or is it possible that Tom, despite being behind bars, has found a way to strike fear once more? With his violent past and vendetta against Chas, some fans suspect he might be orchestrating chaos from a distance.

As the mystery unfolds, one thing is clear: Tom King’s dark legacy is far from forgotten in Emmerdale, and Chas may not be safe just yet.
