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.

What can I do with my good hand at this point?'“It details that are going to sell the story to people who have been through it.The research has been everything.“Working with Emmerdale‘s research team and the Stroke Association on this storyline has been a total eye-opener for me.“We hear the word ‘stroke’ bandied around a great deal, but being confronted with the sheer weight of numbers in this country alone has been a shock.”Mark expressed hopes that his portrayal of a stroke can bring awareness to others.He admitted it was an “enormous responsibility” to show an accurate portrayal of the stroke for those who suffered one in real life as well as their loved ones.The actor went on: “A stroke occurs every 5 minutes in the UK - over 100,000 a year.
