Thus far, we’ve seen lawyer Ethan Anderson (Emile John) on Emmerdale as a sober, responsible individual. Because to his reserved, uncontroversial way of living, his previous boyfriend Marcus Dean (Darcy Grey) has even called him “boring.”
We may be going to see a different side of him in future episodes, but hey, he’s a lawyer after all, and standards must be upheld.
Emile John told Inside Soap that “a certain situation is a catalyst for Ethan completely having his life implode on him.” “At first, he has to do certain things out of necessity to get himself out of trouble.”
Emile said that while if Ethan’s behaviours are initially a response to what is going on around him, they may cause a significant shift in his personality.
“I wonder if he began to enjoy playing the part of a slightly bad boy.” I’m excited to record it on camera!
Earlier in the year, it was revealed that Charles, Ethan’s father and the vicar of Emmerdale (Kevin Mathurin), had a darker side. This came to light when Victor (Eddie Osei), his own father, was allowed to leave jail and came to the village in an attempt to make amends with his wife Claudette (Flo Wilson) and integrate into the family.
We learned that Eddie’s criminal background had destroyed Charles’s upbringing and caused anxiety for Claudette. As a result, Charles saw a chance to get rid of Victor and grabbed it, putting stolen items on him. Victor passed away from a brain aneurysm shortly after.
Charles has allowed his kid and mother to continue thinking Victor was at fault. On the Inside Soap Awards red carpet, Emile John revealed to us that the Anderson family’s secret was still simmering under the surface.
He told us, “I think [Ethan] will find out.” “I think he’ll have some things to say about that as soon as he finds out that Charles has framed his own dad to make his dad look like a criminal.”
We’ll have to wait and see whether it’s the event that triggers Ethan to adopt the persona of “bad boy,” but it’s in his DNA to conceal a violent side behind his collected demeanour, just as his father and grandfather did. Emile is excited by the novel’s plot.
Even though he has enjoyed playing Ethan so far, he thought, “I’m looking forward to playing something different because it’s been kind of the same vibe.”
Since people have many facets, it would be interesting to explore Ethan’s darker side.
He expressed his want for his character to have another relationship. “The village has a lot of options,” he said.
There are currently no hints in the scripts as to who he could be with. It may be either Suni (Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) or Nicky (Lewis Cope)!
Could Ethan be preparing to end the relationship that Nicky and Suni are now in? Though Emile is keeping things vague, he does hope that Ethan will eventually find love.
“I think it’s important that being in a relationship brings out more vulnerability on the character,” he emphasised.
