AFFAIR EXPOSED!
Belle and Tom’s wedding day is mayhem from the bitter beginning to the embarrassing end…
As the big day arrives, Belle is not only nervous, she doesn’t actually know if her wedding is happening because her intended, Tom, is in one of his moods and is blanking her.
Worried, Lydia and Mandy rally round the upset bride-to-be while Jimmy has words with his troubled nephew.
Though red flags are cropping up all over the place where controlling Tom is concerned, Belle’s relieved when her fiancé finally gets in touch, confirming the marriage is going ahead as planned.
Soaking up the attention from her loved ones as she gets ready, Belle is bowled over when Sam makes it to the church to give her away, armed with a letter…
‘He arrives in the nick of time as he has been to visit Zak. Zak has given him a letter to give to Belle. Her mum wrote it for her before she passed away,’ explains Eden Taylor-draper, who plays Belle.
In church, the Dingles’ behaviour irks Tom who tries to cover his irritation while he and Belle exchange vows and get wed.
But Tom’s anger reignites at the reception where his wife’s rowdy family get stuck into their crazy traditions.

‘He is annoyed that his quiet special moments with Belle are disrupted. He finds it frustrating – he has lost control.’ While the Dingles’ fun may be annoying strait-laced Tom, there’s way worse in store when Caleb’s wife, Ruby, arrives in the mood to cause havoc. Having deduced that her husband and his nephew’s estranged wife, Tracy, have been having an affair,
Ruby drops the toxic bombshell…
‘Tracy ends up going with Nate, just as friends, but in the morning she’s like, “Why am I going? This is weird, we’re going together,” and he’s like, “Come on, we can go to a family wedding,”’ explains Amy Walsh, who plays the cheat.
‘Ruby overhears us having that kind of bicker and just sticks her beak in and says, “You two just need to have an honest conversation,” and then she does a toast to the whole room and announces she can’t bear to hear this poor man begging for answers as to why his marriage has ended when it’s clearly because she’s been sleeping with his uncle!’
As the do descends into chaos, how will betrayed Nate react to hear he was right all along about the cheats? Will Cain find out his wife, Moira, has known for months? And will Tom take kindly to Belle’s family drama blowing up their wedding day?
