Intent on making Marlon’s life a misery for some vile reason, Al jumped at the chance to rub salt in the wound when he ran into a dejected Marlon on the way to the pub.
Al said: “I am really sorry for the way things turned out.”
To which Marlon replied: “For sleeping with my wife you mean?”
Al continued: “I couldn’t help myself. The way she came on to me was so strong… Marlon, don’t blame yourself, mate. Not every man could give a woman what she needs. But it hurts, right? When the woman you love gets so frustrated she has to find herself a real man.”
He added: “I’m sorry and feel responsible so I’ll do what I can to make amends. I’ll take the boys off your hands. You won’t want them hanging around and reminding you of happier times.”
He then tried to goad Marlon into punching him…
Emmerdale viewers were livid with Al for taunting Marlon, and begged him not to rise to it – which he didn’t.
