Surely there is only so many soup kitchens she can go to? With her mental issues surely she would get taken advantage of?? Beaten up, raped etc
ED: Could A Girl Like Bella Really Survive In The Wild In Real Life?
Absolutely not, but then I don't buy Andy could survive on the run either. He has no contacts as he's has lived his whole life in Emmerdale being looked after by Jack then Diane and Victoria nor does he have any employable skills to get any work and he will have no money as he will not be able to touch his bank accounts plus he doesn't have the required intelligence to improvise and live on his wits.
Belle would be fine. She's never been averse to conning people, lying and stealing. She's been doing it since she was about 5.
She's a Dingle.
She's a Dingle.
I giggled a bit at "In The Wild", she's not suddenly landed in the middle of a rainforest in Borneo or on an ice floe in Antarctica!

Hotton is a different world in Emerdale. It might as well be the middle of the a rainforest in Borneo as far as the Dingles are concerned
. Not a very convincing or a good story line IMO.
The OP makes 'Bella' sound like some kind of domesticated pet cat or a zoo reared animal who has suddenly been let out into the wilds of Africa's forests to be chewed up and spat out up by the wild animals

Just how big is it meant to be? I took it for the local market town but seeing the number of rough sleepers gathered outside the cafe, it seems to be a major city!!!
I reckon she would struggle though. She's sick, vulnerable and young.

I don't think she is going to soup kitchens.. based on the newest spoilers she is
Spoiler
Also yes she probably will get taken advantage of or worse (hopefully she can be found in time) but what is your point?
Are you complaining that we are not seeing that happen already? Or are you saying it's unrealistic for a young vulnerable girl like Belle to "survive" on the streets-sadly I think many are forced to.
