Fans of Emmerdale were fairly unimpressed with Marcus Dean’s recent cheating scandal storyline as he prepares to exit the ITV show.
It was all kicking off on Tuesday night (February 21) when Marcus spoke openly to his ex-partner Ethan Anderson about his recent affair.
Although Ethan wanted to propose to Marcus, he was distraught when he discovered him cheating on him on Monday night’s episode.
And to make matters worse, when he did speak to Marcus about it, Marcus labelled him “boring” while stating that their relationship was already failing.
But due to the fact that Marcus was adamant that cheating was not in a way acceptable a few days ago, fans noticed that his change of behaviour didn’t add up.
Taking to Twitter viewers shared their thoughts.
One confused spectator wrote: “Marcus 2 weeks ago: ‘Cheating is the worst thing a person can do’. Marcus this week: ‘[shrug shoulder emoji. Marcus 2 weeks ago: ‘I love Ethan so much, I can’t lose him’. Marcus now: ‘You’re boring tbh we should break up’.
“I know the actor wanted to leave but…that’s poor writing.”
Another chimed: “Another total 180° character change to explain someone leaving. Same old washing rinsed & repeated over & over & over.”
A third said: “Marcus was such a wasted character! Its no wonder the actor is leaving.”
Meanwhile another disappointed viewer added: “Marcus had so much potential. The way he arrived in the village was really good. My favourite scene of his was when he was kind to Arthur and offered him support. Will miss him. Darcy is such a good actor.”
Marcus was first introduced as the long-lost son of notorious murdering rapist Pierce Harris.
His arrival in the soap left victim Rhona Gorskirk shaken, who was previously married to the evil village resident.

But after a year of playing the role, 31 year old Darcy Grey announced that he would be leaving the soap.
Discussing his departure, a source told The Sun that the actor was now looking for a new challenge.
The TV insider said: “His time in the village came to a natural end. Darcy is keen to spread his wings but the door has been left open.”
Last week, reports revealed that Darcy has already filmed his final scenes.
