Emmerdale is gearing up to welcome back one of the ITV soap's biggest icons in a surprise twist on Belle Dingle's (played by Eden Taylor-Draper) highly-anticipated wedding day extravaganza. The villagers have been preparing for the big day for weeks now, and after Olympic ice skating champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean helped Belle propose to her beau Tom King (James Chase), fans knew the soap would pull out all the stops. The most recent instalment saw the couple celebrate a "Sten", their Stag and Hen dos, to varying success as Tom accidentally glimpsed Belle's wedding dress.
Yet while fans are still wary of the pair's upcoming nuptials, and many are convinced Tom is a controlling husband waiting to happen, it seems the Dingle family will be in tears as a fan-favourite makes her grand return. While it's not clear if she'll actually appear physically, Lisa Dingle (Jane Cox) is set to come back in spirit. After a number of spanners in the works, Belle eventually ends up waiting outside the village church in her gorgeous white dress and ready to tie the knot with her fiancé.
Just as she is overcome with a wave of fresh nerves, Belle's brother Sam Dingle (James Hooton) delivers a special letter from her late mum Lisa. The family matriarch sadly died back in 2019 of amyloidosis. And a message from beyond the grave is exactly what Belle needs to give her the push to walk down the aisle, especially as her dad Zak Dingle (the late Steve Halliwell) is also not there to be by her side.
