Emmerdale fans were left in tears after Paddy Dingle confessed he “wouldn’t be able to cope” without Marlon as he wakes up from his coma.
During Wednesday’s (March 23) instalment of the popular ITV soap, the doting dad was rushed to hospital after he suffered a stroke in the family home.
While everyone rushed to visit the pub landlord, his close friend distracted himself by looking after his children and working rather than visiting his critically ill friend.
But by the end of the episode, the supportive friend paid a visit to him in the hospital where he confessed his feelings for his friend as he told him to pull through.
And it’s fair to say there wasn’t a dry eye in the room when he explained how he “wouldn’t be able to cope” if Marlon died.
He tearily told his friend: “Will you just come back to me? Please? I can’t, I can’t cope.”
It was at this point that Marlon’s eyes fluttered open as he came round from his coma, however he was still unable to speak or move.
Surprised to see him wake up, Paddy excitedly ask: “Hey are you awake? Can you hear me? Can you speak? Marlon if you know who I am just blink like twice.”
But his friend remained motionless as he starred off into the distance while Paddy slowly lost faith in his recovery.
Before he left the hospital he desperately asked: “Are you even you anymore?” as he frustratedly slumped back in his seat.
It was at this point that fans of the long-standing show took to Twitter to gush over their friendship as they shared their support for the pair online.
One user penned: “Marlon and Paddy are the bromance to end all bromances and tonight’s episode is absolutely ruining me [three crying emojis] #emmerdale.”
Another agreed: “Paddy and Marlon. True friends. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time #Emmerdale @dominicbrunt @markcharnock.”
A third chimed in with: “That scene [two heartbroken emojis] Paddy and Marlon have always had the best friendship on the show. That scene was so hard to watch. I just know Paddy is going to be a huge support for Marlon #Emmerdale.”
