Emmerdale child 'in danger' as evil Tom King reveals next target - but it's not Carl

Emmerdale appeared to confirm danger was ahead for young Isaac Dingle as Tom King revealed to Carl Holliday he'd 'deal with him' after he got his hands on crucial evidence

Viewers of Emmerdale could see more dark scenes ahead for Tom King, as he appeared to eye up two new targets on Friday.

One of them could face serious danger, as the villain vowed to "deal with him" and gave a sinister look with it clear he was plotting something. Woman abuser Tom is now targeting children, terrifying his young cousin Carl Holliday and now he's plotting against Moira Dingle's young son Isaac Dingle.

Tom faced pressure this week as wife Belle Dingle reported him to the police for domestic abuse, after months of coercive control, cruel mind games and violence. Belle has revealed how he has been spying on her with cameras, while he claimed it was for her safety.

After Belle attacked him with an axe after he tried to kill her, she realised that she needed proof of his abuse. She's now desperate to find his missing iPad which she believes contains evidence of him recording her against her knowledge and consent.

Tom is keen to find it before the police do and on Friday he finally realised who had taken it. His young cousin Carl was acting oddly, before admitting he'd taken it to play games.

As Tom demanded it back he revealed Isaac now had it at his home. Tom lost his temper and screamed at little Carl who was clearly scared, with cruel Tom lying that Carl could face prison.

As Carl promised to get the tablet back, a moment saw him spot Isaac in the village with his mum Moira. He was with Tom and told Tom he'd ask him then and there for the device.

But Tom stopped him, obviously realising that if Moira knows about the iPad, she might realise her sister-in-law Belle needs to see it. Moira had seen the footage and left a message for Belle, telling her she had something bad to show her.

But Moira suffered a seizure following her recent brain tumour diagnosis, leading to her forgetting what she'd seen. She couldn't even remember her message for Belle, or that the iPad was in her house.

When Carl suggested they speak to Isaac with Moira, Tom realised it could stop him getting the iPad so he stopped Carl from running over. But he appeared to allude to a dark plan for the child, hinting at danger ahead as he vowed: "I'm sure I will think of something... don't say anything. I will deal with Isaac when I decide." So what will happen to Isaac?
