Ethan has been ‘missing’ from Emmerdale

It feels as though the last time Ethan had some proper screen time was back when he was with Marcus.

Recently, Ethan’s grandparents Victor and Claudette have rocked up in the village making it the perfect time for Ethan to be involved in a storyline.

His sister, Naomi, has also just left the village to go to Ibiza with her friend.

However, Ethan hasn’t made an appearance at all, not even to say goodbye to Naomi.

And, he hasn’t even been seen meeting his grandparents yet. So, where is he? He seems to be ‘missing.’

Emmerdale fans worry as to where ‘missing’ Ethan is

Emmerdale fans are now all wondering where Ethan is, especially now that his sister has just left the village. He remains unseen and fans have no idea where he’s got to.

One fan commented: “Are Emmerdale ever going to acknowledge the mystery disappearance of Ethan?”

Another Emmerdale viewer tweeted: “Not that I care – but did Ethan ever really exist?”

A third person wondered: “Hallelujah Naomi has gone! Where is Ethan and why has Charles not reported him missing? Now can the old mum and dodgy dad leave too?!”
