EMMERDALE fans are in shock after Marlon Dingle begged to be taken back to hospital after choking on water tonight.
The chef - who is played by actor Mark Charnock in the ITV soap - was given water by his daughter April tonight after they were left alone together but it went horrendously wrong.
Marlon began to choke on the water and April panicked, screaming for help from Rhona.
She rushed in and saved Marlon by getting the water out of his throat, but April was still terrified.
“I thought he was having another stroke,” she said.
Rhona reassured her telling her: “He was thirsty, and you gave him a drink."
