Emmerdale's Ethan arrested after huge decision from Charles
Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale's Ethan Anderson faces the music next week when he is arrested after fleeing the scene of a car crash.
In upcoming scenes, Ethan offers to drive Nicky Miligan to meet up with Suni Sharma, after Suni reveals that he has spotted one of the men involved in the homophobic attack against him last year.
However, when Ethan notices the police ahead, he fears he's over the alcohol limit, and in an attempt to avoid them, he crashes the car.
Although Ethan frees Nicky from the vehicle, he takes cover when Moira Dingle arrives on the scene, and runs off rather than face the consequences.

However, Ruby remains consumed with anger over the accident and is determined to find out who was driving the car. She's not the only one with revenge in mind, as Caleb also vows to Cain Dingle that he'll find whoever was responsible.
