How old is belle in emmerdale

In early June , Belle cancelled her plans with friend Lachlan White to instead spend time with Jermaine whilst Angie was away. Jermaine took Belle to his house and lead her upstairs. Before they left Jermaine's residence, Jermaine ensured Belle had taken all her possessions so Angie wouldn't twig what was going on, and suggested that they delete any texts between each other. Later that day, Lachlan took pictures of Belle and Jermaine getting close in his car and he showed Cain the evidence.

Cain went to Abbott Lane Surgery to confront Jermaine, but he wasn't there, so he waited in Jermaine's office until he arrived.

When Jermaine and Angie arrived, Cain asked Jermaine why he was sleeping with his seventeen-year-old sister, but Jermaine lied that Belle was his stalker. Angie believed her husband but Cain was sceptical.

Belle eventually went along with Jermaine's lies. Jermaine continued to string Belle along, which annoyed Lachlan, who was in love with Belle himself. On 17th June , Lachlan broke into Jermaine's house and trashed the place.

Belle realised what Lachlan was up to and raced to Jermaine's house to stop him. Lachlan encouraged Belle to smash Jermaine and Angie's wedding photo, but she refused. The pair ran out the back door when they heard Jermaine and Angie arriving back. Belle ran back inside to retrieve her bag, and she was caught by Jermaine and Angie. Jermaine tried to persuade Angie not to call the police, but she did, and Belle was arrested.

Angie began to suspect Jermaine wasn't telling her the truth after seeing his reaction to her calling to police. Her suspicions were heightened when she witnessed Jermaine and Lachlan talking.

Angie decided to go to Wishing Well Cottage to get Belle's side of the story and she realised Belle really was her husband's teenage lover and threw him out.

Cain used Belle's phone and text Jermaine, who revealed his location and went to beat him up. Belle visited Jermaine at Hotten General Hospital and assured him that he still had her. After being discharged, Jermaine returned to work where he was informed that he had lost his job and was being reported to the GMC. Belle suggested she and Jermaine go somewhere where nobody knew them, but after seeing how much he lost due to he and Belle's relationship he pushed her away. In early July the news of Jermaine's affair and sacking made the front page of the Hotten Courier.

The following day Jermaine returned to Emmerdale to collect the last of his belongings that Emma had picked up from the surgery. Charity saw Jermaine and confronted him, warning that if she ever saw him again, he wouldn't be breathing. In a bid to keep Jermaine, Belle blurted out he was going to be a father.

Jermaine struggled to take in the news, but assured Belle he would support her. Belle suggested she should accompany him to Romania and be a family. Belle tells her family the pregnancy news and her plans to move to Romania. Lisa suggested Belle and Jermaine move into the flat at Wishing Well, which they accepted despite objections from the rest of the Dingles. On 12th July , Charity found out Belle had faked her pregnancy and urged her to tell the truth.

When she refused Charity agreed to help her fake a miscarriage. Charity whisked Belle away to a spa as a cover. However, Lisa turned up at the spa after encouragement from Jermaine, which scuppered their plan. Whilst away Belle's mental health continues to deteriorate as she had stopped taking her medication and she starts to hallucinate again seeing her imaginary friend Ellie who convinces her she can go through with the faked pregnancy as she is pregnant as well and will give Belle her baby.

The following day Belle was knocked over by a trolley, which presented the perfect opportunity to fake the miscarriage. Charity took Belle to hospital, but Zak insisted on tagging along. Belle realized she couldn't go through with faking a miscarriage when she bumped into Angie and learned she had suffered at least one miscarriage during her and Jermaine's marriage. After a 'scan' Jermaine was delighted to hear that Belle and his baby were okay.

Charity wondered why she didn't take the opportunity but Belle lied, saying she had gotten pregnant for real. The following month , Belle's now soon-to-be step-mother Joanie overheard Belle talking to Ellie, but Belle lied that she was talking to her bump.

Later that day, Ellie encouraged Belle to pour wine down Joanie's wedding dress. Two weeks later, Belle talked to Ellie in The Woolpack toilet about her fake pregnancy but was overheard by Angie who revealed the truth to the Dingles and Jermaine.

Once Lisa got Belle back home, she fell asleep and Zak took her up to bed. When Belle woke up, Ellie encouraged Belle to run away, which she did. The Dingles start frantically searching for Belle but she is nowhere to be found. In September , Belle who has been living in the streets finds one of the missing posters with her face on it as she sits in a shop doorway.

Ellie taunts Belle, telling her she's dead to her family and orders her to bin the poster. The following day, Belle is found by a policeman and taken to hospital where she is reunited with her family. Lisa goes to kiss Belle's check, but distressed Belle thought her mum was evil, and was trying to kill her. The following day, as Belle explains to doctors that she's hearing voices she gets sectioned.

Lisa questions if they'll ever get the old Belle back, and asks Jermaine what he thinks is wrong with Belle. Zak insists all they want is a cure, but Jermaine explains he believes Belle has schizophrenia, which doesn't have a cure. Zak and Lisa are shocked as Jermaine reveals there are medications to help manage the symptoms, but Belle might be dealing with it for the rest of her life.

On 15th September Belle is taken to a clinic in Surrey which was the best in the country. On 1st November , Belle returns home from her treatment. Lisa asks Belle when she thinks she'll be home for good, insisting her daughter seems so much better already.

She inquires about the voices and is glad to hear Belle hasn't heard any for weeks. Belle goes back to the clinic later that day but she returns for good about a week later. When she comes home she learns that Lisa and Zak kissed even though Zak was now married to Joanie.

She is upset about his infidelity but keeps it from Joanie. Zak and Lisa eventually went on to patch up their relationship much to Belle's joy. In December , Jermaine gets offered a job in Boston but says he doesn't want to move there without her. Belle asks Jermaine if he would really give up the job for her, and when he confirms he would, Belle tells him they should go to America with him.

However, a few days later she changes her mind, wanting to stay with her family and asks him to go without her. In April , Belle starts spending more time with Lachlan but Zak disapproves.

Belle questions why Zak won't give Lachlan a chance but he's adamant that he should stay away from her.

On 18th May , Belle and Lachlan share a kiss but Zak walks in and is furious. However, Zak is forced to agree to let Belle and Lachlan be friends when Lachlan explains that a mistake Zak made will have cost Home Farm thousands of pounds but he could smooth things over with his mother Chrissie who owed Home Farm.

However, Chrissie tells Lachlan to stay away from Belle, upsetting her when she believes Lachlan doesn't want to hang out with her. Chrissie and Lachlan take their clients to the pub where Chrissie takes a picture of Lachlan and Sookie in front of Belle to make her jealous.

Belle walks in on Chrissie and Sookie talking about Lachlan. Chrissie makes digs about Belle being beneath Lachlan and later warns Belle to stay away. The following day, Lachlan apologises on Chrissie behalf and Belle agrees to meet up later. However, she is disappointed when Lachlan asks her which shirt he should wear for his date with Sookie.

Belle is upset when she receives a text from Lachlan saying things with Sookie are going well, unaware he is actually just home playing video games. Lachlan continues to use Sookie to make Belle jealous but on 8th June Belle realises he only pretended to go out with her. Lachlan tells Belle that she's the only one he cares about but Belle walks out. The next day, Lachlan smooths things over with Belle. He tells Belle she's brilliant and they kiss.

Despite both the Dingles and Chrissie's disapproval, Belle and Lachlan's relationship develops. Belle kisses Lachlan but he pulls away questions why she would want to be with him after what happened with Alicia Metcalfe who he sexually assaulted in Belle assures him he's nothing like Pierce or Derek and she feels safe with him. In late September , Lachlan stuns Belle by telling her he loves her. Belle later admits she loves him too and they kiss.

On 20th November , Belle's cousin Aaron learns what awful things Lachlan has been up to including throwing a remote at his baby cousin Seb , wishing his sleeping grandfather Lawrence White dead and when confronted by Robert Sugden , Lachlan threatened him and nearly crashed his car just to freak him out. Aaron also finds out Lachlan hired a prostitute behind Belle's back so Aaron decides to warn Belle off. Aaron informs Belle that Lachlan is only giving him half a story about his falling out with Chrissie and reveals Lachlan hired a prostitute.

When Belle confronts him, Lachlan truthfully explains to Belle how his friend Gerry Roberts set up the prostitute and that nothing happened but Belle orders Lachlan to get out. Lachlan leaves Belle a voicemail to say goodbye, claiming his life means nothing without her. The next day, a concerned Belle reveals to Chrissie and Lawrence that Lachlan left her a suicidal sounding voicemail last night.

Belle worries as Lachlan continues to be missing and fears he has taken his own life. He turns up a few days later and Belle is annoyed Lachlan didn't inform her he was okay but Lachlan reminds her she dumped him. The next day, Belle is given food for thought when Gerry makes her aware Lachlan didn't sleep with the prostitute and goes to talk to Lachlan. She tells him she's spoken to Gerry and as he promises things will be different from now on, she agrees to give him another shot.

In December , Lachlan suggests to Belle that they get their own place and they start looking for properties online. Lachlan informs excited Belle that Chrissie has decided to buy them a posh flat. However, a few days later, Chrissie calls round at Wishing Well Cottage to speak to Belle, telling her that Lachlan has serious mental health problems and when he ran away, he was really hiding out in the attic and spying on his family.

Belle can't believe it. Chrissie hopes Belle could persuade Lachlan to join his family for a fresh start in Australia. Instead, Belle tearfully decides to break it off with him. When Lachlan questions why Belle ended their relationship and begs her to tell him the truth, Belle lies that she doesn't love him and never did.

However, when Lachlan offends Belle by questioning if her illness has anything to do with breaking things off Belle admits Chrissie played a role in things, making him furious with his mother.

That day, his family crashes whilst on their way to Australia resulting in Chrissie and Lawrence dying and Lachlan's aunt Rebecca White left with severe head trauma.

Belle supports Lachlan but is stunned when he admits that the accident was his fault. Lachlan states he was angry and felt liked he'd been tricked into leaving so he lost it with Chrissie and in that moment, he hated his mother.

He tells them Chrissie must've taken her eye off the road whilst they were arguing. Belle assures Lachlan no one is to blame - it was a freak accident. Little did she know, Lachlan actually played a bigger part than he said, having grabbed the wheel, steering the car into the path of the oncoming lorry. He tells Belle she's all he has left now and gives her a peck. Feeling sorry for him, Belle invites Lachlan to stay at Wishing Well Cottage as he has nowhere else to go. Belle and Lachlan start growing closer again.

In February , Belle and Lachlan get the idea to set up their own brewery business. They asks Chas and Charity at the Woolpack to use the pub kitchen but Chas refuses as they've not yet registered as a brewer. However, Charity later gives them the go-ahead in exchange for them looking after the bar for a bit.

In March , Belle explains to Chas and Charity that she and Lachlan want to launch their first batch of ale to the pub regulars for the feedback. Chas agrees to think about it as long as they get all the paperwork in order. The launch party for Whingles Ale gets underway and is a huge success.

However, things take a bad turn when Lisa suddenly collapses and has to be taken to hospital where she goes into cardiac arrest. The Dingles first worry Belle and Lachlan's ale was behind it but it soon emerges teenagers Liv and Gabby were behind it as they had accidentally spiked her glass with stolen Ketamine.

She luckily recovers and Belle focuses her energy back on Whingles Ale. In April , Belle gets home to find Lisa slumped on the couch gasping for breath.

She calls an ambulance. Lisa recovers but the incident prompts her to decide to leave the village, feeling like her family doesn't care about her anymore. Belle Dingle age: Eden has previously opened up on growing up in the spotlight.
