Emmerdale viewers are predicting a future twist in the storylines for Marlon Dingle's physiotherapist, Kit - with many suggesting he could have a sinister side that soap fans are yet to see. The new character has been seen more frequently in the village in recent weeks as he has been caring for Marlon after he suffered a stroke back in March.
The Woolpack chef Marlon, who has been played by Mark Charnock in the ITV soap for more than 25 years, has been learning how to stand and walk in episodes throughout June - thanks to the help of physio. In recent scenes, there have also been hints at a new romance may be on the cards for the Kit.
During Wednesday's episode, viewers watched as he awkwardly flirted with Laurel Thomas played by Charlotte Bellamy. The pair were left flustered when he bumped into her, spilling her box of chocolates and she responded: "You must be fit... Kit", the Liverpool Echo reports.

It's not just Laurel being left taken aback by the physio's looks, other villagers have commented on them too. Earlier in the week Lydia Dingle commented on his piercing eyes whilst they were both in the village café on Tuesday's episode.
She told him: "Your eyes, that's an impressive pair of peepers" before adding: "Although some people still confuse good eyes with good character, don't they? Ted Bundy. He had a fantastic set, look what happened there. Don't worry, I'm sure you're no serial killer, just the same eyes that's all."
The subtle name drop of the notorious serial killer left many soap fans questioning whether it was a hint at a potential dark twist incoming for the new character. Viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts, Sophie asked: "lmao Is Kit gonna be a serial killer? Why did they mention Ted Bundy? I don't trust this soap not to have a serial killer about tbh lmao #Emmerdale".
Tineshia tweeted: "I've got bad bad vibes from Kit like I don’t trust him one bit he’s too too nice for my liking like why do I have a feeling he will get nasty with Marlon and start hitting him or do something bad to him". Chris replied saying: "They all start out all nicey nicey then after a few weeks/months they suddenly develop psychopathic tendencies"
"Kit’s going to be a wrong ‘un, isn’t he?," Mick added whilst others felt sorry for the physiotherapist after Lydia's comments. Grianne Doherty said: "OMG did Lydia genuinely compare poor Kit to actual serial killer Ted Bundy seriously? Poor bloke, surprised he didn't run a ******* mile literally the second she said it. Pity she didn't notice anything off about Meena's eyes when she was busy reporting Liv for murder #Emmerdale".
Others thought the star shared similarities with another character in the Yorkshire soap, and that he could have links to other members of the village. David Henry posted: "Is Kit a relation of Mackenzie's? He looks like him if you aren't paying attention! #emmerdale". Alf posted: "Kit is Lydia's not dead son"
Emmerdale continues weekdays on ITV and ITV Hub from 7.30pm.
