The lawyer’s discovery comes as his own reputation is at rock bottom following the car crash that left Ruby’s son Nicky in a coma.
Although Ethan is unsure of what to do next, he knows that he wants to use his last hours of freedom wisely before heading to court to face the music.
Ethan confides in his father Charles about how he’s concerned for Rose’s daughter Dawn Fletcher after what he heard.
Charles encourages Ethan to do the right thing, so he leaves Dawn a voicemail to tip her off.
Later, Dawn is concerned after listening to Ethan’s message. Sadly, by this point, Ethan has collapsed at home as his health has taken a sudden turn for the worse. Will this prevent Dawn from getting the further answers she needs?
Former Casualty and Waterloo Road star Christine Tremarco was cast in the role of Rose earlier this year.
Christine said at the time: “I am thrilled to be joining Emmerdale! To be working with such a wonderful cast and crew along with the brilliant writing and production team is an absolute joy!
“Rose is so much fun to play. She is free-spirited, boisterous and totally mischievous with a steely edge and a big heart.”
Emmerdale‘s producer Laura Shaw added: “We are massively delighted to welcome Christine Tremarco to the Emmerdale family.
“Christine brings a wealth of experience and talent and playing the character of Rose – a true free spirit with an exuberant outlook on life – she certainly promises to cause a real storm for some of our villagers.”
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday, May 27 and Tuesday
