Picture preview: Marlon's birthday shock (17-21 Mar)

The plans are underway for Marlon's milestone birthday.

Everyone's keen to help, but Paddy's not that excited. He dismisses Victoria's offer to make a birthday cake. But it's not too long before the pressure mounts and he goes back to the budding young chef.

Later on, Laurel and Marlon take a stroll through the village when out of nowhere a band starts to play!

Seeing all of his friends and family gathered outside, Marlon realises the band and fanfare is all for him.

To Marlon, this day couldn't be more special. His 40th birthday celebrations are in full swing. Paddy arranges for the two of them to go quad biking as a further surprise and the celebrations continue.

But as they patiently wait for Adam to drive up, a little girl runs into the road to chase a ballon!

The little girl is almost run over!

Marlon rescues the young girl, oblivious to who she is.

Marlon's startled when Donna arrives and April runs over to her. Donna's keen to play down the situation, insisting he go and celebrate his birthday but Marlon continues to press her.

Much to Marlon’s relief Donna assures him she does not want him back. But is this relief set to be short-lived?
