HomeEmmerdaleEmmerdale hasn’t included Chas in Tom’s abuse storyline – and fans can’t believe the soap hasn’t addressed it
to realise the extent of which her husband Tom has been abusing her.
After little Piper’s death, Belle decided to go to the police to
speak to them about the abuse she’s been receiving. But, one thing has been neglected throughout this storyline and it involves Chas Dingle – and fans have complained that it makes no sense at all!
Emmerdale’s Belle is upset
Emmerdale: Belle goes to the police about Tom
This week, Belle was left heartbroken (and so was the rest of the nation) after finding out that her beloved pet dog – Piper – had sadly passed away after being knocked over by a car.
It wasn’t long before she started accusing Tom of killing the pup, sharing her concerns with Lydia. However, Belle’s loved ones didn’t believe that he would do something like that.
Realising that Tom had been abusing her, Belle decided to take action and go to the police about her abusive husband.
She explained how he’d been treating her, bringing up Claire’s Law. She, however, didn’t want to officially report Tom…
Tom’s past with Chas seems to have been forgotten…
So, let’s get this right… when Charity had concerns about Tom’s behaviour, none of the Dingles sided with her.
And, when Belle voiced her upset of Tom, the Dingles were quick to blame everything on Belle’s mental illness. At not one point has Chas remembered that Tom actually stalked her and made her life hell in the past.

Now, fans aren’t impressed with the oversight, noting that Chas would’ve been the first person they’d expect to support Belle and believe that something’s up with Tom’s behaviour.
One fan wrote: “This story has such flaws. If Charity is concerned, how come she hasn’t discussed it with Chas who had abuse from Tom’s dad, Carl? They haven’t involved Chas in any of the storyline yet she knows how twisted the men are more than anyone. Also, with a brother like Cain, why is Belle not turning to him for protection?”
Another person added: “Charity did say she’d be keeping a close eye on Tom. But I think it should be Chas as she’s had experience dealing with Tom before.”
A third viewer previously wondered: “The Dingles are thick as [bleep]. Have they forgotten all the [bleep] Tom put Chas through?”

In the latest episodes of Emmerdale, fans have been left scratching their heads at the absence of Chas Dingle in Belle’s storyline with abusive husband Tom. Many viewers have pointed out that Chas, who has her own history of being stalked and terrorized by Tom, should have been more involved in supporting Belle and recognizing the signs of abuse. One fan expressed their frustration, saying, “Chas has been through it with Tom before, so why isn’t she stepping in to help Belle? The Dingles are usually so tight-knit, it’s odd that she’s been left out of this important storyline.” Another viewer chimed in, “It’s disappointing to see such a crucial aspect of Chas’s past forgotten in this storyline. Her experience could have added a whole other layer of depth to Belle’s struggle.” As Belle continues to navigate her way out of the abusive relationship with Tom, many are hoping that Chas will eventually step up and offer her support. After all, who better to understand the manipulation and danger that Tom poses than someone who has been through it themselves? Stay tuned to Emmerdale to see if Chas eventually gets involved in Belle’s storyline and how her presence could potentially change the course of events.
