**🔥 BREAKING: Major Emmerdale Twist Revealed! Dark Tom Plot + Exclusive Soap Spoilers! 📺💥**
This week’s soap opera news brings some major updates, particularly for *Emmerdale’s* Tom King and *Coronation Street’s* Joel Dearing. The latest headlines reveal significant developments and upcoming plot twists, alongside some sad farewells from our favorite shows.

In *Emmerdale*, Tom King’s dark storyline is set to return with a vengeance. The domestic abuse plotline, which took a brief hiatus while Belle King visited her family in Scotland, will resume on Wednesday, August 14. Tom, portrayed as the villain, is preparing for Belle’s return to the village. Determined to win her back, Tom will employ every manipulation tactic in the book. However, Belle surprises everyone by standing her ground and making it clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Despite his outward show of respect for her decision, Tom’s true intentions are far more sinister. He has set up secret security feeds to keep a close eye on Belle, effectively invading her privacy and setting the stage for his next twisted move.
Meanwhile, in *Coronation Street*, DD Bailey is growing increasingly suspicious of her fiancé Joel Dearing. This week’s episodes saw DD’s unease intensify as she discovered more of Joel’s lies. Her investigation leads her to his flat, which he falsely claimed to have abandoned after moving in with her. As DD inches closer to uncovering Joel’s involvement in the Lauren Bolton case, the tension mounts. Callum Lily, who plays the role of Joel, has hinted that his storyline is nearing its climax. He described his time on set as bittersweet, noting that while he’s excited for the story’s resolution, leaving the show will be emotionally challenging.
Across the globe, *Home and Away* has teased a dramatic twist with a new trailer warning of a fan favorite’s impending death. Characters Felicity Newman, Cash Newman, and Irene Roberts are all in the crosshairs. While Irene’s recent off-screen rehab stint seems to rule her out, the spotlight shifts to Cash and Eden Fowler. Their engagement celebrations are set against the backdrop of imminent tragedy. The dramatic events will unfold on Australian screens next week, leaving fans guessing about who won’t survive the turmoil.
In *EastEnders*, the casting rumor about Patsy Palmer’s return has been confirmed. Bianca Jackson is making her way back to Walford, and she’s not alone—her father, David Wix, is also returning. The storyline promises to resolve a lot of unfinished business and will see Bianca on a mission, especially regarding her previous warnings to Sonia.
Finally, in *Hollyoaks*, Lee Barn’s departure from the village is set for later this year. Although the details of her exit haven’t been officially announced, it’s reported that AA May Deakin is leaving after a notable 13-year run as Leah.
