Emmerdale viewers believe Belle Dingle could be in danger, after "solving" what her new partner Tom King could be up to.
Belle bravely opened up about her mental health issues to her partner on Thursday night, having worried about telling him previously.
She recently told him about her past and the fact she accidentally caused the death of her friend Gemma when she was a teenager, and Tom ran off.
While they did reconcile after, the pair, who originally dated over 10 years ago as teens, had yet to discuss Belle's schizophrenia battle - with her too worried to tell him.
On Thursday viewers saw her finally share the details of her illness and her relapses, as she told him there was every chance it could happen again.

Tom wasn't worried though and told her he would help her through any battles that came their way, while initially he got up and made them some tea mid-conversation.

Viewers were not convinced though, with many thinking Tom was still up to no good and that perhaps he would go on to use Belle's mental health against her.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer guessed: "I think Tom will use Belle's illness to his advantage."
Another predicted: "Oh Belle love.....your pouring your little heart out to an emotionally unavailable bloke bent on revenge."
A further comment read: "Belle, get out now, save yourself, over! Brave explaining to Tom about her mental health...and what does he do...he wants to make a cup of tea....walking off again....if only to the kettle. Listen and learn, man. This is very difficult for Belle to speak out."
