Emmerdale fans have been full of praise for their handling of Marshall’s coming out storyline.
In recent weeks, Emmerdale viewers have watched in shock at the horrific backlash against teenager Marshall, from his dad Colin, after he told him he’s gay.
During Friday’s episode, Colin went to visit his son Marshall. He said: “Have you had chance to think about what I had to say? God showing you the way? I won’t let you give in, living of sin.”
