The actor who plays Tom, Ken Farrington, has confirmed his departure from the ITV soap, following a shocking turn of events that will see his character become embroiled in a dark and dangerous storyline. Tom has been a mainstay of Emmerdale since 1996, and his departure will mark the end of an era. The character has been through a lot over the years, including losing his wife Helen to cancer and being diagnosed with prostate cancer himself. However, it is Tom’s recent actions that have led to his downfall. In recent months, he has become increasingly obsessed with his granddaughter, Millie, and has been grooming her to become his new wife. This has led to a series of sinister events, including Tom kidnapping Millie and threatening to harm her if she didn’t marry him. In a dramatic climax to the storyline, Tom will be arrested and charged with kidnapping and grooming. He will be sentenced to life in prison, and will never be seen in Emmerdale again. Tom’s departure will be a major loss to Emmerdale, but it will also provide a sense of closure for fans who have been following the character for so many years. It will also be a reminder that even the most beloved characters can be capable of terrible things.Emmerdale’s Tom King Plots Dastardly Move to Wales with Vulnerable BelleEmmerdale’s Tom King Plots Dastardly Move to Wales with Vulnerable Belle In a chilling new twist, Emmerdale’s manipulative Tom King is devising a sinister plan to relocate to Wales with his fragile wife, Belle Dingle. Tom’s vile behavior has been tormenting Belle, driving a wedge between her and her family and friends while showcasing disturbing violent tendencies.
