Ever since Marlon suffered a sudden stroke last week<\/a>, Paddy has struggled to cope with seeing him so fragile and unlike himself. His unease left Marlon\u2019s partner Rhona Goskirk (Zo\u00eb Henry) frustrated by his lack of support as she continued to exhaust herself\u00a0<\/a>in the aftermath.<\/p>\n Eventually, Paddy pledged to be there for them both, and as Rhona spoke to Marlon about her taking a break while other friends and family popped by, she later encouraged Paddy to be himself, rather than the awkward version he had reverted to.<\/p>\n Paddy eventually surprised the other man by wandering into his hospital room, but initially filled the silence with small talk. Then, still cringing over his part in the Dingle family\u2019s video \u2013 which was intended to boost Marlon\u2019s spirits \u2013 Paddy compared his odd message to a scene from a well-known movie.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Even after everything he had been through, Marlon still knew how to shut his rambling friend up with a knowing look. Paddy responded by saying that he\u2019d never known a friend to have a stroke before, and \u201cI literally don\u2019t know how to behave.\u201d<\/p>\n By the time Paddy returned from getting some drinks, Marlon directed him to a hand-written note he\u2019d prompted nurse Gail (Elizabeth Boag) to write on his behalf: \u201cI\u2019ve never had a stroke before. I don\u2019t know how to behave either.\u201d<\/p> It wasn\u2019t long before Paddy made a heartfelt declaration, as he told Marlon he was \u201cthe best person I\u2019ve ever known,\u201d and that they were all going to get through this difficult time together.This broke the ice and led Paddy to stop hesitating, as he apologised for being weird. \u201cAlways,\u201d Marlon uttered, and Paddy laughed as Marlon began to tease him further. The brilliant double act between Charnock and Brunt was as compelling as ever, with the moving scenes proving to be an uplifting watch.<\/p>\n By the time Gail returned to check on the pair, Paddy was reading aloud from a book titled \u2018Offensive Poems\u2019. With that, it was time to send Paddy on his way \u2013 but now that he has spent more time with Marlon, let\u2019s hope he can be a strong support and help him on the road to recovery<\/a>.<\/p>\n Will Marlon be able to come home \u201csoon\u201d as he suggested?
