Things are about to go from bad to worst for Emmerdale’s Ethan Anderson as he is struck down with another health issue.
Next week, Ethan is shocked when he overhears a conversation between Ruby and Rose. Trying to ensure he uses his last few hours of freedom wisely, Ethan confides in Charles about concerns he has for Dawn.
As Charles continues to encourage him, Ethan decides to leave Dawn a voicemail. Ethan and Charles then have a heart-to-heart conversation as they prepare for court. But Charles is frantic when he returns from the kitchen into the room to find Ethan has suddenly collapsed on the floor.
Worry and fears continue to increase at Woodbine as Manpreet tries in vain to resuscitate Ethan. Charles is petrified as he fears the worst for his son.

Meanwhile, Dawn finally gets the chance to listen to Ethan’s voicemail. But she is left concerned once she hears his message.
Earlier this month, Ethan was the cat that got the cream when he got a new job role. But his happy streak came to a sudden halt when he accidentally had a car crash.
Speeding down the countryside in his car with his friend Nicky beside him, Ethan was in a rush to save Suni who called Nicky in panic. Suni had bumped into the men who had assaulted him a few months back and was in desperate need of help.
Trying to get to his location quickly, Ethan, who had previously had a drink before getting behind the wheel, crashed into a tree. But as he recovered from the disastrous accident, Nicky was severely injured and unconscious.
