ITV Emmerdale fans ‘uncover’ real secret Marlon Dingle and Laurel Thomas are hiding

Emmerdale viewers believe they’ve figured out the secret that Marlon Dingle

and Laurel Thomas are hiding, and it’s not a love affair. In recent scenes from

the village, Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, has been in turmoil after his

daughter April, portrayed by Amelia Flanagan, vanished without a trace, last seen getting into an unknown car with an unidentified driver. The mystery surrounding April’s disappearance deepened after she discovered the harsh truth about her mother Donna’s death, played by Verity Rushworth, which led her to alcohol and substance abuse before she went missing. Marlon has been consumed with worry, desperate to find out where April is.

However, in a twist that aired on Wednesday’s episode (January 1), viewers were presented with a revelation involving Marlon and Laurel Thomas, played by Charlotte Bellamy. A police officer told Marlon about videos April had posted online, in which she expressed suspicions of an affair between him and Laurel.

Despite Marlon’s denial, his behaviour suggested otherwise, according to Leeds Live. The officer also mentioned some dubious messages exchanged between Marlon and Laurel, which seemed to be news to Marlon.

He then asked the officer not to tell his wife Rhona, played by Zoe Henry, about this, to which she reluctantly agreed. , reports the Manchester Evening News.

As the situation escalated, Marlon arranged a secret meeting with Laurel. During their conversation, he revealed that the police had discovered their text messages, leaving Laurel clearly distraught.

She emphasized the importance of keeping the truth hidden, fearing she could “lose everything”. The latest development in Emmerdale has sparked a flurry of fan theories on social media, hinting at a possible affair between Laurel and Marlon.

However, many enthusiasts believe it’s a clever misdirection. On an Emmerdale fan page on Facebook, one viewer speculated: “I don’t think Marlon and Laurel are having an affair.”

In the ensuing discussion, several fans wondered if the real secret was related to Laurel’s sobriety rather than a romantic affair. One fan proposed a theory: “Laurel said she could lose everything if it comes out. Could it be her sobriety was at risk or she had a drink? ” Others joined in the speculation, with one suggesting: “Maybe she’s had a drink again. Hope it’s not an affair or that, to be honest.”

This sentiment was echoed by another who guessed: “I wonder if she got drunk and texted/rang Marlon and he’s been supporting her.”

Speculation has been rife with one theory suggesting secretive messaging: “And that’s what all the texts were about, but they were talking in code so it looked like an affair to April and that’s why Laurel said she’d lose everything if her family found out.”
