Emmerdale recently revisited a past storyline on the hit ITV soap, involving Tom King’s late father Carl as the character prepares to marry Belle Dingle
Emmerdale is set for dramatic scenes on Thursday night as Tom King prepares to marry Belle Dingle.
The pair reunited last year, years after they were first together as teens. A couple of instances have left fans concerned for Belle though, fearing Tom could be dangerous and that an abuse storyline could be planned by bosses.
With Tom being such a prominent character on the ITV soap at the moment, it’s left viewers thinking about his family, especially as his late father Carl King was recently mentioned as a past storyline was revisited.
In a recent episode, Angelica King struggled with the aftermath of her deadly bombshell. Only recently, Angelica confessed that she was the one driving the car when Heath Hope died during the New Year’s car crash horror. Earlier this month, protective parents Nicola and Jimmy prepared for Angelica’s court hearing.

Nicola and Jimmy learnt that the charges against Cathy Hope, who was also involved in the crash, had been dropped on their way to court. However, the same couldn’t be said for Angelica as her charges were not dropped and after pleading guilty she faces a custodial sentence, where she could be detained for at least a few years.
In Wednesday’s episode, Angelica struggled after seeing her dad Jimmy in tears and was later comforted by family member Tom King in the village. Tom said he knew how she felt, adding: “I was about your age when my dad died. I didn’t know how to feel about it. One minute I was so angry, and the next I was just scared.”
Longtime soap watchers will remember Tom’s late father Carl and his death but for new viewers, the throwback may have been confusing. Tom is the son of killer Carl King. Carl was killed off during a live episode back in 2012 when serial killer Cameron Murray attacked him. Chas Dingle had attacked him shortly before this after he tried to rape her while Carl also killed his own father, also called Tom, in 2006.
Tom was played by actor Tom Lister, who took on the role from 2004 until his character’s death in 2012. Since Emmerdale, the actor has appeared in Doctors, Casualty, The Doll Maker and Christmas Spirit. Tom has also appeared in several stage productions, which include 42nd Street, and recently took on the role of Abanazar in Aladdin.
