Emmerdale fans point out 'glaring error' but compliments flood in for 'brilliant' acting

Emmerdale fans watched Marlon Dingle's heartbreaking storyline continue tonight and praise for actor Mark Charnock continued to flood in. But many viewers pointed out a glaring mistake in tonight's hospital scenes.

Marlon, who had a stroke last week, could be seen attempting to reach a glass of water but instead knocked the teddy sat on his bedside table. As he looked towards the nurses stood outside his hospital room, he was unable to catch their attention and was forced to wait until a nurse came to check on him. Yet as he tried to tell the nurse that he needed water, she simply checked his notes and left.

Fans pointed out that Marlon, due to having had a stroke and having limited movement, should have had a call button next to his bed so he can get help when he needs it. Fans weren't impressed with the nurse either, who appeared not to listen to Marlon and instead talked 'gibberish' before leaving.

Taking to social media to point out the glaring mistake, @kellycrumpton94 penned: "why does Marlon not have a button by his side for him to press for when he needs something when the nurses aren’t in the room?! especially as he only has minimal movement. #emmerdale" @page_lace30 couldn't believe the nurse, writing: "The nurse has not even considered if marlon needs a bl**dy drink #emmerdale

@angenevs continued: "Has Marlon had some water yet? It’s my worst nightmare, not being able to communicate and being thirsty #Emmerdale" @Andrewclink7 was also concerned about the lack of a buzzer for a nurse, tweeting: "Where’s his call button ? #emmerdale" as @AngeBlue55 echoed the thought: "Where is Marlons call buzzer? #emmerdale".

Fans of the soap have been praising Marlon actor Mark Charnock since the storyline began and that didn't let up tonight as the star continued to impress with his skills. @MillieBright77 wrote: "Marlon is acting is brilliant #Emmerdale" with @mishybabez_ adding: "If @markcharnock doesn't get any awards then somethings wrong. He is doing incredible in this heartbreaking storyline #Emmerdale x"
