Emmerdale fans were horrified on Monday evening as Marlon Dingle faced terror on the soap when he suffered a stroke and was rushed to hospital.
The frightening health battle began when Marlon was found collapsed by his young daughter April, before he was raced in for emergency surgery.
In the frightening moment Marlon realised something was wrong, his vision became blurred, before he looked in the mirror and fearfully realised his face had drooped on one side.
