There was devastation in the Anderson family in Emmerdale recently when Ethan (Emile John) unexpectedly collapsed at home and died.

This happened on the day that Ethan was due to appear in court for driving offences after the car he was driving crashed, leaving Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) seriously injured.

Following the incident, Ethan confessed to his father Charles (Kevin Mathurin) that he’d been the driver when Nicky was hurt and that he’d fled the scene over worries about his career.

Charles’s reaction was to turn him in to the police, a decision which has been weighing on his conscience ever since and particularly since his son’s shock death.

This has taken its toll on Charles’s relationships with his mum, Claudette (Flo Wilson), and his partner Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) as his grief has made him shut everyone out.
