Emmerdale's Marlon Dingle is terrified in Monday's episode (TV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

Marlon Dingle hasn't sat in the driver's seat of a car since he had a stroke.

But with his recovery having come on leaps and bounds it's time for the pub cook to take the next step and attempt to drive.

It's a huge moment for the dad who's asked his best mate Paddy to be there with him.

Paddy, of course, would do anything for Marlon and has been there for him despite all that he's been through this year.

But when Paddy finds Mary sobbing in a field having pretended she was headed out on a date, the vet is unable to walk away even though it means Marlon is left high and dry as he's set to take the plunge.
