Marley Kelly

Played by Luke Bailey

As the eldest Kelly child, Marley finds himself trying to acts at the head of the family and due to the lack of a genuine father figure in the kids’ life, he’s become fiercely protective of his sister, Sam and tries to be dad to his family. He knows Earl is a lost cause, perhaps even fears him, but is desperate to keep Earl and Denzil separate so that Denzil stands a fighting chance. Though critical of his family, he’s loyal and won’t hear a bad word said about them from anyone else. Marley left home for university when he graduated from Waterloo Road.
