"Marley is dead." Nopony dies. Therefore, no Jacob Marley in this show.

If the Jacob Marley character was not dead but a "spirit" like Past, Present, and Yet to Come, that would have distracted from the story. If he was dead, that would have been a bigger distraction. Better to leave him out altogether.
