Emmerdale, Belle Dingle faces fresh danger when she suffers a worrying relapse.

Belle has recently taken some positive steps following her mental health problems, but she stops taking her medication later this month after the Dingle family receive some traumatic news.

While we won't give away what the news is, Belle feels numb in the aftermath and decides to ditch her pills so that she can feel some genuine emotion at this difficult time.

Unfortunately, Belle's bad decision has frightening consequences as she starts hearing the 'voice' of her late friend Gemma Andrews again and slips back into her old ways.

Following instructions from 'Gemma', Belle sneaks out of the house one night and takes a bag with her. The teen's family don't realise that she has gone until the next day, when they immediately launch a search party for her.

With everyone worried, it's Sam's young son Samson who finds Belle first, but she scares him off by threatening to hurt him unless he stays away and keeps his mouth shut.

Once alone again, Belle heads to the highest point that she can find at derelict Wylie's Farm with lots on her mind.

Fortunately, Belle's family and the rest of the search party manage to track her down and Harriet takes control of the situation by trying to coax her back to safety.

As Cain sneaks quietly up the stairs and sirens are heard in the distance, Belle suddenly loses her footing…
