Emmerdale – When did Laurel’s alcohol addiction start?
Laurel’s addiction to alcohol began in 2014 when she was in a relationship with Marlon Dingle.
She ended up losing her job at the factory when she turned up drunk.
Laurel’s addiction led to numerous dangerous incidents, including when she choked on her own vomit whilst drunk.
Luckily, Marlon’s daughter April and Laurel’s son Arthur, who were in Laurel’s care at the time, called an ambulance and got her help.
