Marlon Sebastian Dingle is a fictional character in the British soap opera Emmerdale played by Mark Charnock. He has been in the show since 1996. Marlon has been married three times, first to Tricia Fisher (Sheree Murphy), then to Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth) and Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy). In 2010, he dated Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry), and is father to a Down's syndrome baby named Leo, who Rhona gave birth to in 2011.
Marlon arrived in 1996 to stay with his uncle, Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell). He arrived in a red sports car and later brought his dad Albert back to the village. Marlon supported his uncle Zak through his testicular cancer and became good friends with Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt). Marlon also had a brief relationship with Sonya.
In 1997, Marlon started working at Kathy Glover's establishment - tea rooms at day and wine bar at night, where he first showed his cooking skills. When Eric Pollard and Dee de la Cruz split up, Eric went into despair and put Marlon in charge of his business. The ambitious chef was overwhelmed by such a huge responsibility and grabbed the opportunity with both hands – even though the Dingles tried to take advantage by regularly dropping in for free food. However, Marlon's reign as the culinary king of Emmerdale was cut short when Kathy hired Carlos Diaz to work at the diner. Marlon was getting his feet well and truly under the table at the Woolpack anyway. Bernice Blackstock was impressed by Marlon's cooking and let him work some nights there and even shared a cheeky snog one night. But while his kiss with Bernice led to nothing, Marlon would find true love at The Woolpack. New barmaid Tricia Stokes, a dippy girl with a heart of gold, began flirting with Marlon. After a few months of misunderstandings the couple got together and went on holiday to Spain to celebrate.
