There were celebrations at the start of the week in Emmerdale as Marlon Dingle was allowed to return home after weeks in hospital. It comes after viewers were left in shock and tears last month when the beloved character suffered a stroke.
Marlon had just got engaged to girlfriend Rhona Goskirk after they both planned secret proposals when tragedy struck. A giddy Marlon rushed home to pick up Rhoan's engagement ring which he had accidentally forgotten and as he searched for the sparkler, his vision became blurred, before he looked in the mirror and realised his face had drooped on one side and he was unable to speak, despite desperately running through his thoughts in his own head.
He was then found collapsed on the floor by his terrified young daughter April before he was rushed to the hospital where nurses confirmed he suffered a stroke and needed to undergo emergency surgery to remove the blood clot on the left side of his brain. Since then, Emmerdale fans have watched Marlon begin his recovery and the challenges he and his loyal family face.
