ITV Emmerdale Marlon Dingle’s d.e.a.t.h ‘sealed’ in Graham Foster twist
Emmerdale fans fear Marlon Dingle could be k.i.l.l.e.d off in a huge Graham Foster twist.
Emmerdale fans reckon soap favourite Marlon Dingle could be heading for the exit.
Marlon (Mark Charnock) first appeared on the ITV soap in 1996, establishing him as the second longest-serving character on the show. It’s safe to say he quickly won over viewers.
Throughout the years, the chef has featured in numerous major storylines. From losing his wife Tricia (Sheree Murphy) to enduring a devastating stroke, his journey in the Dales has been packed with turmoil.
Particularly in recent months, as his daughter April (Amelia Flanagan) became ensnared in a sinister web of criminality, child exploitation and narcotics after being manipulated by villainous Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and his mother Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths).
Yet despite the Ray and Celia saga concluding, Marlon faced fresh heartache when Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) unexpectedly returned from the grave. Viewers will remember that in 2020, Graham was believed to have been m.u.r.d.e.r.e.d by Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather), reports the Daily Star.

Nevertheless, the spectacular Corriedale crossover episode broadcast this January disclosed that Graham had in fact survived and had been keeping a low profile for years.
Since returning to the village, Graham’s caused considerable friction, including with Marlon. This week, Graham received encouragement from Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) to attempt a reconciliation with his former partner Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry), who is now Marlon’s wife.
Taking Joe’s advice to heart, Graham arrived at Smithy Cottage and professed his love for Rhona, leaving her completely stunned. Marlon quickly got wind of the situation, and in Friday’s episode (February 20), an enraged Marlon stormed over to Home Farm to confront Graham, insisting that Rhona “is not interested” before screaming “keep away” in his face.
Now, however, fans cannot help but dread that a d.e.a.d.l.y twist may be on the cards for Marlon. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, viewers speculated that Graham could end up k.i.l.l.i.n.g Marlon.

“Rhona run off with Graham please!” declared one person. Someone else then mused: “Graham to k.i.l.l Marlon to get Rhona back?” A third chimed in: “Totally agree!” Another also wrote: “Maybe, I want Graham to take him on.” A fifth said: “Graham is not to be missed with.”
Meanwhile, discussing Graham’s surprising resurrection and return to Emmerdale, Andrew previously revealed: “I never expected it at all. Although saying that I did think that Graham always had a possibility of coming back.”
On the subject of keeping his comeback under wraps, the 52 year old actor confessed: “Oh yes it’s been a big secret and I kept it mostly quiet from my family, which was tricky.”
He went on to reveal who he had taken into his confidence, saying: “Oh yes just a limited few certainly it is on one hand, in fact I had some cousins who contacted me after it was shown, saying you sod.”
Emmerdale airs Monday to Friday at 8:00pm on ITV1 and ITVX
