Ethan Anderson (Emile John) in Emmerdale was stunned when he discovered Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) was living in the village. Manpreet was in a relationship with Ethan’s dad Charles (Kevin Mathurin) and thought of Manpreet as a mother figure but when she disappeared, the two of them thought Manpreet had died.
Arriving in the village back in November, Ethan is trying to move forward after Manpreet’s betrayal and in the coming weeks, he asks for her help to try and track down his mum.
Rishi (Bhasker Patel) is excited about his birthday and Manpreet is taken aback when nervous Ethan asks her to go with him to see his mum.
However, Ethan is disappointed when his mum doesn’t turn up and Manpreet tells him not to give up.
Later, at Rishi’s party, Ethan and Manpreet are uncomfortable as they make excuses as to why they’ve arrived at the celebrations together.
Ethan texts his mum, asking why she didn’t turn up.
Ethan looks hurt when he receives a reply, so Meena (Paige Sandhu) sends Manpreet over to comfort him.
Charles asks Manpreet if she knows what’s bothering Ethan, but she doesn’t give anything away.
Manpreet encourages Ethan to tell Charles about the search but asks that she be kept out of the conversation.
Could Manpreet and Ethan keeping this secret lead to disaster?
