Denise Welch is joining Emmerdale for the finale of the dramatic Belle and Tom storyline, according to reports. And she’ll be joined by some other telly legends, too!
Belle Dingle’s abuse at the hands of controlling husband Tom King is coming to an end – thank goodness. And Emmerdale has lined up an all-star cast for the finale of the dramatic storyline, including former Coronation Street star Denise!
Belle’s ordeal will come to an end in a special hour-long episode airing this December, highlighting the real-life voices of domestic abuse victims and survivors.
All-star cast including Denise Welch for Belle’s ordeal in Emmerdale
Now Metro is reporting that the special episode will also feature an all-star cast.
Denise Welch will play a juror as Belle takes on Tom in court. Denise is known for playing Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street, along with Trish Minniver in Hollyoaks, Alison Slater in EastEnders, and Steph Haydock in Waterloo Road.
And she’s a regular panellist on chat show Loose Women.

Soap stars also joining the cast
Charles Dale will also join the line-up for the special episode. He’s best known as Big Mac from Casualty, but he also starred in Corrie as Dennis Stringer.
Bad Girls star Jack Ellis, who played prison officer Jim Fenner, also joins the cast for the Emmerdale special episode.
He also played bookie Harry Mason on Coronation Street back in the noughties.

Will justice be done?
We don’t yet know how the story will end, but Emmerdale Producer Laura Shaw has promised Belle’s ordeal will be over by Christmas.
“When we first embarked on this journey we knew we wanted to show domestic abuse, coercive control and manipulation in all its guises,” said Laura.
“We knew from the outset that Belle would need some sort of closure on Tom. We don’t want to spoil the outcome of this story and reveal what will happen to Tom, but needless to say, Belle’s going to be in a much better place by this Christmas.”
Will it be a happy Christmas for the Belle? We can’t wait to see justice served – hopefully!
