Emmerdale has shared an emotional new look at Marlon Dingle’s major health battle next week after he suffers a stroke.

n

The new storyline is aimed to educate viewers on the early warning signs of a stroke, and will begin with Marlon collapsing soon after he and Rhona Goskirk (Zoë Henry) propose to each other.

n

While he desperately tries to remember the FAST acronym after realising what’s going on, daughter April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) thankfully discovers him and Marlon is subsequently rushed to hospital.

In the new trailer, Marlon looks horrified into the mirror as his face shows symptoms of a stroke, including a drooped mouth and eye, before he collapses onto the floor.

n

April desperately urges him to speak to her after discovering him, while an upset Rhona looks at her engagement ring in the hospital.

n

“Will you just come back to me, please? I can’t cope,” Paddy Kirk emotionally begs Marlon by his bedside.

n

Rhona later shows fighting spirit, as she tells Marlon: “It doesn’t matter how long this takes, or how hard this is. We’re going to do it together.”

The soap has worked with the Stroke Association charity on the storyline, and will show events from Marlon’s perspective to depict what a stroke feels like “in the moment”.

n

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw explained: “It felt totally right to play such an incredibly important story as this, with Marlon highlighting that a stroke can happen at any time and showing the catastrophic consequences it can have on the person affected and their whole family.”

n

She continued: “As the story unfolds, we follow the tragic and heartbreaking long-lasting repercussions it has on Marlon and his friends and family, and how their love for each other shines through as they all pull together at this most difficult time.”

n

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.

Stroke Association has further information and support on stroke. You can call their helpline on 0303 3033 100 or visit their website at www.stroke.org.uk.
