As a film enthusiast with a background in psychology and a survivor of domestic abuse myself, I can’t help but feel a heavy heart watching Amelia Spencer’s storyline unfold in Emmerdale. The cycle of abuse is painfully familiar, the denial, the manipulation, the isolation, and the gaslighting – all tactics used by Tom King to control his partner, Amelia.
This article contains discussion of domestic abuse, including coercive control, that some readers may find upsetting.
In tonight’s Emmerdale on the 11th of October, 2024, Daisy Campbell, portrayed by Amelia Spencer, disregarded the recent safety advice concerning her boyfriend, Tom King, played by James Chase.
In this unfolding situation, with Tom facing investigations for alleged coercive control and assault against his ex-wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), it’s only my dearest Amelia, along with Tom’s aunt Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) and uncle Jimmy King (Nick Miles), who stand firmly by his side.
Due to Amelia growing apart from Belle’s brother Sam (James Hooton) and his wife Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick), who are the grandparents of her child Esther, Belle had their support during this time.
However, Amelia understood it was best not to let her emotions influence Esther’s relationship with Sam and Lydia, who gleefully welcomed the arrival of both Amelia and Esther.
In a one-on-one conversation with Amelia, Lydia once more attempted to help the teenager understand Tom’s true nature by implying that he might be manipulating Amelia. After considering Lydia’s advice, Amelia directly addressed this issue with Tom.
At the Woolpack, Lydia departed upon Tom and Amelia’s entrance, because Tom asserted that Amelia brought him joy and that no one truly understood his true self.
Amelia apologised, and told Tom that she wanted to take things “to the next level”.
After Lydia’s advice was ignored, what could possibly make Amelia understand the situation better?
Recently, a suggestion emerged in another circle that Tom might kill Amelia at some point in the future. Can Amelia manage to escape before her fate becomes inevitable?
