Emmerdale fans make demand to ITV bosses over new character

Emmerdale fans are all in agreement over newcomer Gail Hancock as she cares for Marlon Dingle.

Marlon, who suffered a stroke last week, is on a long road to recovery after losing his ability to communicate. Marlon's struggles to form easy words have caused him a lot of distress, but fortunately, his nurse Gail has been on hand to reassure him.

Appearing in several episodes, Gail, played by Elizabeth Boag, has urged Marlon not to worry about his condition. Her caring nature has been praised by viewers, with some fans saying they would like to see Gail as a permanent character.

Amanda said: "Awww I love Marlon's nurse she's lovely."

A second tweeted: "Marlon’s stroke story is the best story of the year for me. A compelling story with fantastic acting from @markcharnock and @ZoeHenry03.

"Shoutout to @ElizabethBoag who compassionately plays the nurse. It’s easy to forget she’s an actress, not an actual nurse."

Le-Le said: "Gail is a good Nurse! Go the NHS."

Harry tweeted: "My nurse Gail has a gorgeous bedside manner."

Michael said: "About time nurse Gail made another appearance so it is."

Another said: "Gail needs to stay!"

And David added: "I like the Nurse Gail character. Seems like she would be a good character long-term."
