Emmerdale set to revisit dark Chas storyline as 'stalkery' Tom King returns

A decade ago, a young Thomas King was terrorising Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) as her stalker – sending her threats following the death of his killer father Carl.

After 10 years away in Saudi Arabia, the not-so-youngster (now called Tom) is making a comeback to Emmerdale in scenes set to air from April 27 – which is sure to leave Chas reeling.

Playing Tom this time around is newcomer James Chase, who will pick up the role from Mark Flanagan.

And James has confirmed that the chilling storyline is set to be revisited, as Tom seeks to make amends.

Acknowledging the ‘darkness’ in Tom’s life back then, James says in a new chat that Tom’s actions ‘definitely affected Chas’.

James adds: ‘He was awful to her, he really was. We are definitely going into that again. He’s turned over a new leaf.

‘He was very young, obviously, and full of emotion when he was dealing with all of these issues [around his father] and I don’t think he really knew how to deal with them.

‘He’s definitely going down the route of trying to build those bridges up again that he’s burned and I think with Chas he will try to apologise to her and just try to build that friendship again.’

Chas isn’t the only one Tom will be looking to reconnect with, though, as he returns following a new job opportunity as a vet in Leeds.

He’ll also be looking to catch up with former flame Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) – but will he be hoping for a romantic reconciliation?

James goes on: ‘They were childhood sweethearts and they loved each other.

‘Even though there was a lot of drama going on in his life at that time, she was a real shining star for him, the one good thing he could remember that gave him hope and love…

‘That’s definitely something I think he wants… And just the rekindling of his family, Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Nicola (Nicola Wheeler).

‘The possibility of him maybe finding closure and being able to live in the village once again without all that darkness clouding him because he’s a new man now.’

Only time will tell how things go…
