Just use Scribble. Your method is highly inefficient using an object for each character, and Scribble will handle everything you need and a lot more very efficiently.

Is gamemaker the right engine for a "visual novel" type game?
I wrote two specific libraries for this: https://github.com/JujuAdams/chatterbox for branching dialogue and https://github.com/JujuAdams/scribble for text rendering. The former is being used in Schrodinger's Catgirl, the latter is being used in Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon, Poinpy, Skies Of Chaos, and a bunch of other commercial games.
