In a huge storm, the Woolpack chimney collapsed and Tricia was killed. Marlon had to make the decision to turn off her life-support machine and was left completely heartbroken. Has he ever really got over Tricia? We\u2019re not so sure.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7380\" style=\"width: 946px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/09\/shutterstock_editorial_805485ef-e1726157838524.jpg\" alt=\"Marlon and Donna in their wedding photo \" width=\"946\" height=\"1500\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It wasn\u2019t happy ever after for Marlon with Donna (Credit: ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>2. Donna Windsor<\/h3>\n<p>Still grieving Tricia, Marlon grew close to Donna Windsor. Things turned from friendship to love and they started dating. But because Donna was much younger, they took things slowly.\u00a0Donna\u2019s desire to join the police also didn\u2019t sit well with the Dingle family \u2013 for obvious reasons!<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>When the pair got engaged, both started having doubts about their future.

They had an affair and Marlon and Donna split. They did consider a reunion, but Marlon couldn\u2019t resist drunkenly snogging another cousin \u2013 Chas \u2013 and he and Donna called it quits for good.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Donna left the village, but returned in 2014 with her daughter, April.
