alexx Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Well Fisher was old enough to be Marilyn's dad and they were a fantastic pair and popular with nearly all viewers. Edited July 20, 2013 by alexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACYLIGHTFOOT Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 When the actress that plays Marilyn was on Emmerdale her boyfriend was way younger than her. It didn't cause anyone to have a heart attack or call for her to be burned at the stake. I'm not sure any of the current cast would work for me, but they could introduce someone for her. Is John not way older than her anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexx Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) John looks like he is late 50's to me. He definitely doesn't look the same age as Sid or a few years older than Harvey/Roo/Marilyn. Has it been stated on screen that he was born in the 60's? Surely that can't be right....

MACYLIGHTFOOT Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I was going off him being a similar age to Gina, who has a 30 something son in Hugo, so she must be 50ish, so I assumed John was there or there abouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been stated on screen that he was born in the 60's? Surely that can't be right.... I found it hard to believe but I do remember his Birthday being mentioned in Episode 5400 which aired on October 7 2011 in Australia and he may have joked about being 50 in that episode from memory. The actor was born in August 1958 so he's currently 54 and obviously turning 55 next month so I presume either John is at that age or just a little bit younger which was hinted in Episode 5400.

JamesC10 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I prefer Marilyn and John as friends. I hope they don't fall in love etc... It's a bit too soon for John to move on from Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was turning 50 in that episode... They were not joking about it. But John Palmer want Gina to tell the rest that he turned 48..... But someone did understand how old he was and put it on the cake. I don't think that John Palmer looks that much older than Marilyn.., because I think that the actress is playing her in a childish-oldish way. And her clothes.... Well, that image worked when she was younger, but now she looks like someone who is a lot older than she is. And she is meant to be in her 40's isn't she? I have always thought that Roo, Sid and Marilyn were about 42-46 and Harvey late 40's, and Gina and John were about 50.... So not big age difference there... A big group actually comparing to earlier years. Irene around 55-60 and Alf about 67/68... Well, I don't want John with Marilyn. I am worried that John Palmer is loosing his serious side. He is a great character because has both comical and serious sides to him... and don't want him to be only a comical character. He has been really good with Gina, they are such a unique unit because she is hard and serious and he is more relaxed and humourus, and toghether they get more balanced. Shane Whittington is a great actor and I want him in both funny and serious scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRRR Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Cougar Marilyn? I like that idea. I don't know why they always pair her with older guys So who would be this younger character? Spencer? Casey? Kyle? ... Why do I feel that this would be so much better than any romance we've had in recent times ! I agree with you When the actress that plays Marilyn was on Emmerdale her boyfriend was way younger than her. It didn't cause anyone to have a heart attack or call for her to be burned at the stake. I'm not sure any of the current cast would work for me, but they could introduce someone for her. Is John not way older than her anyway? Yes, they should bring in someone new for Marilyn.

shyongirl Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 It seems she finds it easier to depart from John now that Winston is here and that they both are fighting over her. I would have thought she'd enjoy the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
