Emmerdale are set to air upsetting scenes on Friday night involving pooch Piper as evil Tom King's manipulative behaviour takes a further sinister twist in his storyline with Belle
Emmerdale fans are set for some upsetting scenes in Friday night's episode as evil Tom King's manipulative behaviour takes a further sinister twist in the coercive control storyline with Belle Dingle.
Tonight, it becomes clear that Tom is intent on harming pet dog Piper to exert control over Belle, as he's seen deliberately revving his car in the direction of the beloved animal. Amid the storyline, the team at Emmerdale have been working closely with the charities Refuge and The Dogs Trust. ITV have released a statement which says: "No dog was harmed in the making of these scenes and viewers can watch a behind the scenes of all these scenes next Monday on the Emmerdale socials."
Emmerdale executive producer Laura Shaw explained how it was 'all too common' that domestic abusers will use the family pet as a weapon. "We’ve heard of perpetrators not letting survivors walk their dogs alone, stopping them from accessing vet care for their dogs or being able to spend money on dog food, and even repeatedly threatening to harm or kill their dogs.
