Emmerdale fans will be left disappointed next week as the soap is taken off air due to a schedule shake-up. The beloved ITV drama will undergo a significant schedule change as a result of a series of dramatic plot twists. Those looking forward to watching Emmerdale on Thursday, 10 October, will be in for a surprise as it will be replaced by UEFA Nations League Live, featuring England Vs Greece. Emmerdale usually airs at 7:30pm on weekdays, with an hour-long special on Thursdays. However, next Thursday’s slot will feature the football match instead. This scheduling adjustment coincides with several explosive storylines unfolding on Emmerdale. Recent episodes have seen a major twist involving characters Belle Dingle and Tom King on Tuesday night. Belle defended herself against the villainous Tom using an axe after he threatened her life following months of torment. Tom later claimed to have a “blank” memory of the incident and couldn’t identify his attacker, according to reports from Leeds Live. In a later episode, Tom attempted to manipulate Belle into dropping her abuse allegations against him by promising not to reveal her as the assailant if she complied. Belle was shocked by Tom’s gaslighting tactics, especially when he unexpectedly kissed her on the lips after asking for a kiss on the cheek. Subsequently, at the hospital, Tom misled the police by blaming his attack on two unknown men he purportedly had never seen before. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Belle decided to confess her actions and turned herself in at the local police station. She admitted, “I’ve attacked my husband in self-defence, he wanted to kill me, I’m a victim of domestic abuse.” This unexpected development left viewers on the edge of their seats. Fans will have to wait patiently for the return of Emmerdale after the scheduled break but can expect more gripping storylines to unfold when the show resumes. Stay tuned for more updates on this popular ITV soap.
