In Emmerdale, new character Ethan makes his first appearance in tonight’s second episode (Thursday, January 7).
In the first visit to the Dales, Sarah met up with Danny, who had just been released from prison, and his friend Mason.
Sarah soon discovered Danny was dealing again: Chas discovered a bag of pills on the floor dropped by Mason and assumed it belonged to the boys throwing a stag party.
Meanwhile, Ethan joined his friends at the stag do in the Woolpack.
Chas called the police on the boys and, as Sarah left the pub, she put the drugs into Ethan’s jacket.
Ethan was soon arrested. But who is he?

Debbie also ends up crossing paths with Charles. He implores Debbie to encourage Sarah to come clean and clear Ethan’s name.
But Debbie warns the vicar to back off leaving him shocked.
Later, Ethan asks to see the CCTV in the Woolpack from the night he was arrested. But Chas tells him there aren’t any cameras in that area.
Ethan soon turns on Sarah, certain that she’s responsible. However Nate tells him to back off.
