Emmerdale fans think that there is "more than meets the eye" about Arthur 's school crush-turned-bully, Marshall. In recent episodes, the pair had been spending more and more time together, leading viewers to think that a romance could be on the cards.
But, in tonight's episode, Marshall publicly humiliated Arthur, by asking him out on a date and then revealing that it was all part of a nasty bet. As the pair looked about to share a kiss, some of the boys from school could be heard laughing and Arthur looked up to see he and Marshall were being filmed on mobile phones.
When one of the boys told Marshall that he "can't believe [he] did that", it became clear to Arthur that he was being bullied. One of the boys said to Marshall: "How did you not [sick noise]?"
