Marc began flirting with Yasmin Matthews, who he had attended school with. The attraction was mutual but there was only one obstacle in the way; Yasmin's engagement to Gabriel Drummond.

In August 2005, Cat became suspicious of where Doug had been going and had suspected him of cheating on her with his secretary. Doug had in, fact been meeting with Marc. Marc had recently split with his girlfriend who had a miscarriage. Cat was still frosty towards Marc, who had hurt her niece Geri.
Yasmin wasn't particularly happy to see Marc either, having divorced him the year previous.

who had recently left Charnham.
Marc later began seeing waitress Katie Williams and also rekindled his relationship with Yasmin. Neither fling worked out once Lara, one of Marc's ex-girlfriends had left their six-year-old daughter, Poppy with him. Marc's family were shocked that he had kept his daughter a secret.
Marc struggled to look after Poppy over the course of Lara's absence and frequently left her in the care of Justin or Cat and Doug. Lara eventually came back for Poppy and left Marc's life once again.
Towards the final week of the series, Marc didn't really feature in any major storylines but made an appearance in the final episode.
