In a mysterious message, Emile John, star of Emmerdale, alluded to Ethan Anderson’s departure.

After smashing his vehicle and abandoning his buddy Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) for dead at the side of the road during a wild night out, Ethan has suddenly found himself at the focus of the drama.

After he eventually told his father Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) about his crime, Ethan left him inconsolable when he tried to pull a runner.

But Ethan soon went back to the hamlet, where he was shocked to learn that Charles had been the one to denounce him to the police and to be detained.

In more recent scenes, Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly) intentionally struck and ran him down on the outside of the settlement, leaving him wounded.

Charles is terrified that Ethan is going to pass away this week, but will it be fatal?

On this day of the court, they are bonding and getting ready. Actor Kevin Mathruin said, “Charles is letting Ethan know how proud he is of his son, that he’s doing the right thing, and whatever happens will happen and they’ll face it together.”

Ethan feels very powerful and certain that what he’s doing is the correct one. They’re accepting that whatever will happen will happen, without making light of the circumstances.

“Charles is conversing with him, assuring him that his prison term won’t be too severe and that it won’t take too long,” but he finds he’s not receiving any answer. When he returns from the kitchen and sees that Ethan is on the ground, he just switches to emergency mode without understanding what is happening.

Charles is scared while Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) tries to revive Ethan. Will Ethan survive?

Actor Emile responded cryptically to a fan’s remark on Instagram asking if they were “praying Ethan doesn’t end up leaving the village” in a Q&A session.

“You know, the thing is…” In essence Hey, that’s the… Yes, indeed. He stated.

What is meant by that?

Is Ethan about to pass away from his wounds? Is he going to do time in jail for abandoning Nicky to die?

Or is this just a cunning ploy to keep fans in suspense?
