There won't be a dry eye in the house as next week Emmerdale viewers will see Marlon Dingle walk down the aisle as he marries Rhona Goskirk. But it wouldn't be a soap wedding without a touch of drama as the character, played by Mark Charnock, ends up in hospital before the big day.
Viewers have been gripped by Mark's performance of Marlon, who he has played since 1996, since he suffered a devastating stroke earlier this year. Since then, fans have watched as he's battled both the physical and emotional toll the serious health scare has had on not only him but Rhona, his daughter April and the wider family as well as his best friend Paddy Kirk.
But the bright spot in it all is that the on again-off again wedding between Marlon and former flame Rhona will go ahead in the first big soap get-together since coronavirus restrictions lifted. And the Manchester Evening News has been lucky enough to see the episode and we recommend getting the tissues!
