Tonight Emmerdale will air a special episode (Tuesday 7th May) showing two different perspectives of the same day. The audience will experience a dinner party but in two halves; one from the perspective of Rhona and Marlon from the dinner table and one from the perspective of Belle and Tom from the kitchen. What you see in public is not necessarily what you see behind closed doors.
THE DINNER PARTY TABLE: As guests arrive for the dinner party, tensions simmer between Rhona and Marlon. The lovey-dovey Mandy and Paddy only heighten the awkwardness. Tom’s toast about marital solidarity exposes the cracks in Rhona and Marlon’s relationship further. Meanwhile Vanessa, Suzy, Paddy and Mandy attempt to enjoy the evening. Belle excuses herself, saying the onions made her cry, as her relationship with the controlling Tom is strained. The row between Rhona and Marlon erupts as they lay bare their issues publicly. Rhona tries leaving, but defiant Marlon rejects it, forcing Rhona to seemingly end their marriage in front of everyone…
THE VIEW FROM THE KITCHEN. Belle puts the finishing touches to the Dale Head dinner, but critical Tom asks her to change into a more appropriate outfit, and she compliantly heads upstairs. In the kitchen alone Tom makes a discovery, but before he can confront her, the guests start to arrive. Later when Belle goes upstairs Tom joins her in the bathroom.. He’s threatening. Soon Tom doesn’t let Belle out of his sight in the kitchen. When Rhona finally puts her foot down to leave following the argument, the other guests apologetically follow suit. Belle’s desperate for people to stay, but they all make their excuses. And as guests depart, we see the terrifying reality of Belle’s life with the menacing Tom…
