Emmerdale’s Marlon Dingle suffered a devastating stroke recently and viewers are speculating that he may have an affair with a nurse as he recovers in hospital.In last night's episode Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, was frustrated during a speech therapy session as he struggled to form simple words.His girlfriend Rhona, played by Zoë Henry, tried to encourage him but Marlon started to get stressed and his nurse Gail asked her to ease off the pressure.It comes after Gail, played by Elizabeth Boag, has repeatedly urged Marlon not to worry about his condition in recent episodes.Now Reddit users have been questioning whether there could be a romance brewing between Marlon and Gail.One person asked: "Anyone else think these two might end up having an affair as part of Marlon’s rehabilitation?"Another agreed, saying: "I just think he will become attached to her, especially the amount of time they’ll spend together grows, and I think Rhona will think he’s being independent and strong when really it’s Gail who’s giving him that support."They added "one of them will want the affair to happen" and "it’ll just be a natural coincidence with the situations they’re in".

But another person dismissed the idea, saying: "I can't see them going down that line as the story has been researched about how people can recover from strokes, this will be a medium term story, not done and dusted in a few weeks.
