Emmerdale's Marlon Dingle is currently at the centre of a huge storyline for the Yorkshire soap. In heartbreaking scenes that aired on March 22, the popular long-running character suffered a stroke and was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.
Marlon's symptoms came completely out of the blue when he returned home - after scenes of a heartwarming double proposal with girlfriend Rhona Goskirk - to search for the engagement ring he'd bought her. After his vision blurred, he collapsed and was later found by his young daughter April who rang for an ambulance.
In emotional scenes that will air across this week, soap fans will see the devastating impact the shock diagnosis has for Marlon, the Dingles, and his friends. The storyline is said to unfold over the coming months and viewers will see the long-lasting repercussions it has on Marlon and his loved ones.
