What did Tom King do in Emmerdale?
HE has made his way onto the cobbles after a decade away and fans could not be more thrilled to see him.
Arriving last week, Thomas, who now goes by the name Tom, has already struck up a rekindled romance with old flame Belle Dingle.
He has been away from the Dales after a decade away in Saudi Arabia and is now back living in Leeds where he works as a vet.
But do you remember everything that happened to Tom King during his first stint on the show?
Let’s take a look at just what he got up to…
What did Tom King do?
Tom King is mostly remembered for his stalking incident with Dales legend Chas Dingle.
Fans will remeber that Tom’s father, Carl, was killed after attempting to rape Chas.
Although Carl was actually murdered by Cameron Murray, the villagers all believed that it was in fact Chas as she attempted to defend herself during his horrific attack on her.
Having spent some time away from the village following his father’s funeral, in January 2013, Tom was revealed to have been stalking Chas.
Tom had been sending photos of herself to her in the post.
Taking it to an even more sinister level, he began sending pictures of Chas and Carl together but with Chas’ eyes scratched out.
He then proceeded to continue telephoning her on a withheld number and threw a glass bottle at her outside the pub whilst hidden from view.
Chas was slightly injured from his actions.
How did Tom King’s actions get discovered?
Tom King was eventually caught out after he was caught attempting to graffiti the wall of the pub.
Gabby Thomas disturbed him and it was not long until Chas and Jimmy tried to apprehend him.
Thomas shouted at Chas as he insisted he was hellbent on revenge for her ‘killing’ his father.
Chas pleaded that she only acted out of self-defence but Thomas refused to forgive her.
After persuasion from Jimmy, Chas forgot about Tom’s actions and Jimmy let his nephew move in, much to wife Nicola’s disapproval.
What happened between Tom King and Belle Dingle?
Tom and Belle struck up a romance shortly after the youngster was exposed to be Chas’ stalker.
The pair began a romance after kissing in secret at Sandy’s 80th birthday party.
However, Belle’s mum and dad Zak and Lisa quickly disapproved of the budding relationship as a result of Tom’s previous conduct and ban Belle from meeting up with him.
Wanting him to return to Saudi Arabia, Jimmy and Nicola put everything in place for him to be shipped away back to his mum.
Not wanting to part with Belle, the pair plan to run off together in Dan’s camper van.
Frightened, Lisa believes Tom will attack Belle in the same way as his father did to Chas.
Panicked, she reports him to the police and tells them he has kidnapped their daughter.
Tom is later left rattled when Belle reveals that Carl had been staying in the camper van the night he died.
He eventually drives them home and Nicola and Jimmy quickly arrange for him to be shipped off.
Feeling guilty about his actions, he agrees to leave but not before Belle tells him that she hates her parents and blames them for the ending of their romance.
His mother then rings to confirm he has arrived in the country but does not wish to speak to anyone and had locked himself in his room.
