Marlon Dingle will face a health shock in Emmerdale next week when he suffers a stroke.
The character, played by Mark Charnock, has been through his fair share of trials and tribulations since first arriving in the Dales in 1996.
But Marlon is set for one of his biggest challenges yet as he faces a serious health battle when he has a life-threatening stroke in heartbreaking episodes airing next week on ITV.
