He's one of my favourite characters.
It's a DS bandwaggoning thing. He's liked in other places.
If he was any way unpopular he wouldn't still be there.

Well you can also apply that to characters you dislike

Why the dislike I'm more shocked that he is liked. What on earth is there to like about him is a more pertinent question.

I've hated a lot of soap characters but he's honestly the only one who I literally can't watch. The actor pulls these faces and swings his oversized arms about and I just can't.

I don't mind him as a background character but I find him really irritating and OTT when he's with Paddy and as for when he's s falling for the latest ' great love of his life.'

bib: So what!

And the bandwagonning excuse you love to make is pointless. It's more a case of posters knowing their own minds regarding characters they happen to dislike, and I find their dislike of the likes of Marlon spot on.

I can't stand the character, and it's a pity that the producers are too Dingle obsessed to kill him off.

I like his character and is apparently a really nice guy. There are far more soap characters I would like to see the back of.

Where do I start?
Nothing against the actor but the Marlon character in the programme is awful; I really cannot stand him.

He never develops. Ever.

What was funny in a guy in his twenties just seems cringey in a man in his forties. He's a great big self-involved man baby. He overdramatizes everything and makes it about him.

He's just stuck in a massive rut as a character, and I don't think he'll ever change, because the show writers seem to think there's something funny and appealing about it. I got sick of him a long time ago.

The only time I liked Marlon was when he was with Tricia.

It's jealousy.

He keeps having attractive women.

Haha! You've rumbled me Sulla. If I was to be that way inclined Carlie would be a very attractive prospect!! Not so sure about Laurel though?! Sex God Marlon dropped the ball there

Tricia and Donna were also attractive.

I totally agree. In fairness Marlon has always managed to bag himself a stunner despite being an absolute tool!
