There were more emotional scenes in Emmerdale as the Dingle family came to terms with Marlon's health scare and the fan favourite character underwent surgery.
Viewers of the ITV soap were left in tears on Monday night when Marlon's frightening health battle began. He felt something was wrong as his vision became blurred before he looked in the mirror and realised his face had drooped on one side and he was unable to speak, despite desperately running through his thoughts in his own head.
He then collapsed to the floor and was soon found by his young daughter, April, who called for an ambulance. It came amid celebrations for the family as Marlon and girlfriend Rhona Goskirk had both proposed to each other.

The excitement, however, soon turned to horror after a giddy Marlon had rushed home to pick up Rhoan's engagement ring which he accidentally left back at their home.
Later, in the hospital, it was confirmed that Marlon had suffered a stroke and needed surgery to remove the blood clot on the left side of his brain. In scenes at the end of the episode, he desperately wanted to tell Rhona not to leave him as he was prepped for the operation.
On Tuesday night, Emmerdale picked up where it left off with Marlon awaiting his surgery and daughter April, played by Amelia Flanagan, was determined to go and see her dad despite Rhona's mother Mary trying to change her mind.
Arriving at the hospital and walking in to see Marlon, she told her sick dad: "I don’t know what to say but you would, you always do," as Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, began to cry.
