Emmerdale fans were delighted after some new cast members were introduced to the village in an unexpected twist.

In Tuesday's episode (March 19), Tom King (James Chase) kept quiet about some work that had come up at Take A Vow from his wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper), who is struggling to drum up business at her wellness retreat.

With Belle having said she's not ready to start a family quite yet, Tom is simmering with resentment and is determined to do all he can to stifle his wife.

As Tom complained that he was snowed under at the vet surgery, Belle voiced her concerns that she should have accepted the job at Take A Vow while she had the chance.

"Er, so you'd rather be working a nine to five than start a family?" Tom questioned.

Belle was clearly fed up with the conversation and Tom insisted that she didn't need to be working for other people as he would provide for them.

Later on, Belle paid Tom a visit at the vet surgery. However, they were interrupted when Tom received a call from Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) asking him to help her with an animal emergency.

Tom suggested to Belle that she man the phones as they had no receptionist, but despite her protests, she was roped in to do the job anyway.

It got very busy in the surgery as a number of clients sat in the waiting room with their pets, while Belle was swamped with calls. 

Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) arrived to speak to Belle about a job opportunity at Take A Vow, which she had mentioned to Tom the day before.

Belle was baffled as to why Tom hadn't passed on the message about the potential role, but she quickly covered for him.

However, fans couldn't help but notice the furry new additions to the cast as a large dog and white rabbit were seen waiting patiently in the vets in a never seen before twist...

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7:30pm on ITV1.
