Emmerdale’s Marlon Dingle star pays emotional tribute as beloved cast member quits
Emmerdale’s Mark Charnock was emotional as he paid a poignant tribute to one departing cast member.The actor, who plays Marlon Dingle in the ITV soap, is currently involved in a major storyline after Marlon suffered a stroke which left him hospital-bound.Though fiancée Rhona has been rallying around him, there have been plenty of ups and downs, with her own mum warning her off Marlon to avoid care responsibilities.And best pal Paddy has also been conspicuously absent after being so taken aback by Marlon’s physical condition, and has used various excuses to get out of hospital visits.But there is one character who has remained steadfast throughout the entire process - Marlon’s nurse, Gail Hancock, who fans are desperate to see become a permanent character. Sadly, actress Elizabeth Boag has announced that it’s the end of her Emmerdale journey - at least for now - and departed the rolling pastures of the Dales.
