Do you think they realised their mistake and how boring they are and that that are making it so that Laurel and Ashley get back together? Hope not I really like Harriet and Ashley. But Marlon/Laurel affair/relationship never made sense.

Laurel and Ashley, as a couple, are over.
How can you be so certain?
I highly doubt Laurel and Marlon's whole relationship beginning to present day was planned when they first got together in 2012.
That's what worries me...I hope they don't become dependent on each other, especially now he is so worried about his seizures. Ashley has become so much more interesting with his coupling with Harriet - was happy they finally got together.
I wonder if there is a reason why the scriptwriters have got Laurel living with Ashley and helping him cope with his epilepsy, while Harriet grows increasingly jealous of their relationship...
It would be unnatural and unreflective of real life if laurel showed no concern for Ashley and vice versa, especially as they had overcome the animosity that surrounded their break up.
Maybe its her turn to get a notch on Adams head board.
Inside Soap, who have been a bit schizophrenic over whether they approve of Maurel, printed a very oddly timed joint Mark Charnock/Charlotte Bellamy interview about the alcoholism storyline, printed at the exact moment that Marlon seemed to stop having anything to do with it, and their replies seemed very diplomatic: When asked if they were glad to be doing the storyline with each other, it was telling that while Charlotte didn't say no, she didn't say yes either, and reading between the signs I suspected she was thinking "Well, actually I'm glad to be working with John Middleton again. I liked working with him."
If not, why ?
My neighbour suffers with epilepsy and he has to take medication to help stop the attacks. It seems to be working for him.
Marlon will hopefully be a victim of the summer stunt. No more women should be forced to endure his shouty voice and windmill arms. Detest Marlon, can't bear the man.
He is, I think it's been referred to a number of times by people. I seem to remember Laurel saying something along the lines of it'll be alright when the medication starts kicking in properly.
I don't think they're backtracking with the story, if they were planning on doing that I think they would have done it before marrying them off. There was a scene just before Laurel and Marlon's wedding where she had a few too many and was speaking to Ashley about not being sure if she was doing the right thing. If they wanted to backtrack, that would have been the perfect time. They've developed upon that now and brought the alcohol story to the fore which has given a natural reason for character relationships to break down (Marlon) and rebuild (Ashley). I think it's interesting how when Laurel got into her original affair with Marlon, it seemed to become her and Marlon vs. the village for a time and now it's completely flipped on it's head. I think naturally taking her back to Ashley has potentially salvaged the entire thing.
I'm also interested to see this current side of Harriet. Though it seems to have come out of the blue, Harriet had left the police when she arrived in the village and was pursuing a career as a Vicar so we were seeing a softer side to her personality. As a result, we never really got to see the cop side of her until now. It's nice we're seeing a few extra layers to her.
I do hope they don't go down the route of reuniting Laurel and Ashley though. I'd like to see Harriet and Ashley's relationship explored a bit more and though I'd like them to become close again, I think there's too much water under the bridge for them to reunite. I'd like to see Laurel attempt to rebuild her life and realise she doesn't need Marlon either.
BIB: Charity?
NO she shouldn't be put back with Ashley, he's far too good for that hypocritical, sanctimonious, dog murdering sozzled shrew. They put her with Marlon, let her suffer him for the rest of her life, and leave Ashley with Harriet, so Laurel can be reminded daily of just what she threw away>:(.
They were a much better couple than Maurel.
