Emmerdale fans have been left issuing a 'please' plea as they saw the return of Tom King Jr to the village. It had already been revealed that the character would be making a return to the Dales in an unexpected comeback 10 years after he jetted off for Saudi Arabia in 2013.
Then known as Thomas, he had planned to flee with his girlfriend Belle Dingle after he was embroiled in a vicious stalking storyline with her aunt, Chas Dingle - although he ultimately left her behind.
But during Thursday night's edition of the ITV soap (April 27), Tom was seen back on-screen, this time played by newcomer James Chase. It came as a mysterious figure had been watching Belle Dingle and later, when they bumped into each other, it was revealed to be Tom.

And the chemistry still appeared to be there between Belle and the late Carl King's son as they naturally flirted with one another while catching up.
However, fans have been left fearing that there could be something more to Tom's return and have pleaded for there not to be any terrible twists coming up like can be expected in the land of soap.
@Surfingspaniel tweeted: "Please let Tom King be just, well normal. No revenge story from years ago, just back to visit like normal people do #Emmerdale." @fussyMcWhiskers wrote: "#Emmerdale Tom King looks like Corrie's John Stape ... coincidence, is he: Tom King the serial killer? Or Tom King going to rip someone off? They've already got 2 rip-off storylines, so three might be a world record."
But in relation to the second tweet, other Emmerdale viewers think he looks like a new Corrie villain. @lindafraser852 tweeted: "Is it me or does Tom look like Justin from Corrie #emmerdale." @homebrew19721 said: "I know this new tom king looks like justin from #corrie i hope he isn't a stalker as well #Emmerdale." @fussyMcWhiskers added: "#Emmerdale You were right! Tom King DOES look like Daisy's stalker in Corrie!"
