Explaining the life-changing effects Marlon will have to deal with after the stroke, Mark admitted that his character now has “a mountain to climb”.
He went on: “Communicating with people, he’s in a wheelchair because his right side is not operational so it’s a mountain to climb, but for Marlon in particular because he is such a mouthy character.
“He’s a visibly expressive person and it’s reducing him down to his eyes really, which is how he expresses himself in the first few days or weeks.”
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode airing on Thursdays.
