Marlon Dingle makes major decision after stroke complications in Emmerdale
WITH his health still on the mend following his stroke, Marlon Dingle is slowly getting back to a normal life.
The Emmerdale chef portrayed by Mark Charnock takes another step towards a full recovery next week. But how well will it go?
ITV viewers have been keeping an eye on Marlon's health for several months after the beloved character suffered from a horrific stroke.
Getting back on track has been somewhat of an uphill battle for Marlon as he struggled to walk and fend for himself.
This prompted his wife Rhona (Zoe Henry) and daughter April (Amelia Flanagan) to step in and take care of him.
Marlon was even taken to his own wedding by best pal Paddy Dingle in a wheelchair.
