Emmerdale boss Jane Hudson recently confirmed romance will be on the cards for Belle Dingle (played by Eden Taylor-Draper) this summer, but it has been reported one of her former flames is about to return to the ITV soap after 10 years away. It is thought Thomas King (originally played by Mark Flanagan), the son of murderer Carl King (Tom Lister) is heading back to the Yorkshire Dales. Could the pair reignite the spark they once had?

Thomas was dating Belle before his dramatic soap exit and tried to run away with her only to leave the teenager in Emmerdale village. 

Thomas is now set to return to the village to surprise his uncle Jimmy King (Nick Miles).

How will Belle react when she learns her ex is back in the area?

Details are yet to be confirmed by soap bosses but sources have described the upcoming storyline as “explosive” and teased “chaos” ahead. 

Is Thomas returning just to see his uncle or could he be part of Belle’s romance storyline?

Will there still be a spark between the pair when they come face to face in the village?

Producer Jane teased: “She’s not gonna find love with Jacob but she is gonna find love! 

“We’ve got a bit of summer loving for Belle, so you need to see what happens.

“But that is finally going to happen – Belle is going to finally fall in love with someone. 

“You never know what might happen but it could be the most perfect relationship we’ve ever seen.”

Jane teased a “summer love” for Belle, so does this mean the romance won’t stand the test of time?

The Emmerdale character has had her heartbroken several times over the years after dating evil Jamie Tate (Alex Lincoln) and serial killer Lachlan White (Tom Atkinson) 

Opening up about Thomas’ reported return, a source told The Sun: “Tom’s return is going to be explosive. 

“He shocks his uncle Jimmy when he returns to the village and it’s not clear why he’s back.

“Fans will be glued to their screens watching Tom’s comeback unfold and his presence could cause chaos.

“They will all be asking if he’s as evil as his dad Carl and wondering why he’s returned.”

Express.co.uk has contacted Emmerdale about the character’s return. 

It is understood James Chase has been signed up to play Thomas on the ITV soap, with the actor replacing Mark Flanagan, and is set to make his big entrance as Thomas in April. 

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
