As far as keeping a low profile is concerned, Ethan Anderson (Emile John) didn’t do a very good job in Friday’s (May 10) Emmerdale.
Yesterday, Ethan was responsible for putting Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) in hospital after crashing their car while being under the influence of alcohol.
Following the accident, Ethan pulled Nicky from the car and left him on the woodland floor. He rushed back to the village and then distracted himself, taking the approach of trying to pretend he wasn’t involved rather than telling the truth.
In tonight’s episode, Ethan was in the café with Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) and overheard Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb) talking about Nicky.
Once she updated the father and son, Ethan acted shocked and supported Nicky’s boyfriend Suni Sharma (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana).
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Caleb Miligan (William Ash) and Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) had discovered Nicky had alcohol in his system at the time of the crash.
Unaware of Ethan’s involvement, Caleb and Ruby couldn’t help but wonder why Nicky would’ve been irresponsible and drove the car while drunk.
Back in the village, Ethan was once again testing his guilt levels by talking to Suni, who was apprehensive about visiting Nicky in hospital.
Ethan found himself agreeing to Suni’s request at supporting him there. When he arrived, the solicitor pretended he wasn’t feeling well to try and prevent seeing Nicky in the coma.
Outside the ward room, Caleb and Ruby approached a police officer and asked for an update.
The officer revealed Nicky’s injuries prove he was the passenger in the car – not the driver – allowing Ruby and Caleb to work out someone left their son for dead.
His anger increasing, Caleb asserted: ‘When I find them, they’re going to wish they died in that accident’.
It’s not looking good – what does the future hold for Ethan Anderson now?
