He revealed: “I always loved Marlon [Dingle, played by Mark Charnock] as a team member in the Woolpack, and I think it’s safe to say at this point he is integral to the pub.” “I can’t imagine the place without him, so I hope he is involved in the upcoming storylines with Charity and I.” Meanwhile, James suspects Ryan will play a key part in the business, but he won’t be front and centre of the Woolpack’s new chapter.
