Paddy Kirk received backlash from Emmerdale fans for his reaction to Marlon Dingle's stroke.
In scenes that aired last week, Marlon was hit with symptoms of a stroke as he saw his face seizing up in the mirror. He collapsed before being rushed to the hospital.
After regaining consciousness, it was confirmed that Marlon had lost the use of his speech, as he was seen struggling to pronounce easy words. Seeing his friend unable to complete what were once simple tasks, Paddy has been very distressed.
