Emmerdale favourite Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) is faced with a health setback in upcoming scenes.
The Woolpack chef suffered a life-changing stroke last month.
Next week, April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) prepares welcome home decorations for her dad’s return from hospital while Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson) reassures her daughter Rhona (Zoe Henry) she’s there to support her throughout his recovery.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Marlon thanks his nurse Gail and prepares to leave.
Once he’s settled in, it’s slightly chaotic as they start to work out a way of going forward.
April’s pleased to spend time with her dad but when she helps Marlon to a drink of water, he starts choking.
The little girl is terrified believing he’s having another stroke and calls desperately for Rhona, leaving both April and Marlon distraught.
April arranges to spend time at a friend’s house the following day rather than be at home.
Marlon later despairs to see the stress his condition is placing on his family, adamant he should return to hospital.
Rhona plays mediator between a tearful April and Marlon but the little girl wants to talk to her father alone.
The family begin to navigate their new future but Marlon finds it hard to communicate.
Rhona jumps in back at work in the vets helping Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) with an injured dog.
Meanwhile, Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) arrives at Holdgate to tell Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) she wants to get properly back together.
When Jai realises his wallet is missing he and Laurel return to Take A Vow to search but when they find it down the back of a chair, they’re shocked to discover a tiny bag of drugs.
Things take another turn when Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patek) tells a shocked Laurel about how the kids nearly caught Jai with the drugs when he came close to relapsing a few weeks ago.
Laurel’s anger comes to a boil, shocked at what the kids could have got mixed up with and Jai fights tears as he realises he’s just lost everything.
Also, Ethan Anderson (Emile John) finds himself in a difficult situation in upcoming scenes.
At the police station he meets Jordan, who has been arrested on suspicion of assault.
Determined to make a good impression, Ethan takes on the case but is left startled when he recognises the victim on the CCTV image – fellow villager Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle).

Billy recovers in hospital after sustaining horrendous injuries from the attack and is left feeling broken as he tells Dawn that it was racially motivated.
Back at the police station, Ethan says that although he knows Billy, there is no conflict of interest but suggests to Jordan that he might prefer to seek alternative representation.
However, Jordan is adamant that he wants Ethan as his legal counsel and Ethan is left in an awkward position.
