Emmerdale’s Marlon Dingle will face a serious health battle when he has a life-threatening stroke in heartbreaking episodes airing next week on ITV.
In the hope of raising awareness of the warning signs that come before a stroke, the programme’s narrative will focus upon Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, to tell the story from his character’s perspective.
The episodes have been produced with the support of the charity, the Stroke Association, who have worked closely with Emmerdale’s scriptwriters, story, research and production teams from the conception of the storyline to give a realistic and authentic depiction of Marlon’s journey.
