The mention of Pierce, who is still serving time in prison for raping Rhona, is certain to bring back anxiety and trauma for Rhona, and she will have to dig deep to overcome the terrible experiences of her past.
Darcy appears to have started filming for his role which will see him first appearing on screens on Thursday February 3.
He took to his Instagram Stories to share a behind the scenes look at the studio where filming takes place.
The actor shared a selfie of him standing in front of the ITV Emmerdale studio as he captioned it: "Let's go @emmerdale" and tagged the location.
He went on to share a black and white mirror selfie as he appeared to be in a dressing room.
Speaking of accepting the role, Darcy said to ITV : "When my agent sent me the character of Marcus Dean, I was quietly smiling inside. We share so many similarities, both the good - and perhaps - some of the bad! I thought, 'I know who this kid is'. To then get the call to say that the role was mine was one of those pinch-yourself moments we actors simply dream of.
"For Marcus, the battle of being torn between wanting to forget his relationship with his Dad but also ultimately, wanting to simply be loved is a challenge many of us face, and one that I hope I can bring some truth to. He is such an open book, with such an uncertain future that I just can't wait for you all to see where his journey in the village takes him!"
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub with an additional episode at 8pm on Thursdays
