ETHAN Anderson decides to find his missing mum after making peace with Manpreet Sharma next week in Emmerdale.
Manpreet – who is played by Rebecca Sarker in the ITV soap – was exposed as living a double life after her ex Charles addressed her as Saira and accused her of vanishing from his and Ethan’s lives 15 years ago.
When Ethan discovered Manpreet’s presence in the village he told everything to her husband Rishi and successfully sabotaged her marriage.
But next week, after making peace with Manpreet, Ethan opens up to Victoria about his mum leaving when he was three.
Victoria suggests searching for her via her medical records, and Ethan agrees to the idea.
Later, Meena does something that surprises Ethan.
Speaking about Ethan’s reaction when he first saw Manpreet, actor Emile John – who plays Ethan – revealed: “Ethan is aware of the connection between Charles and Manpreet.”
Speaking about how Ethan considered Manpreet as his mother, Emile added: “All the trauma and pain from not one absent mother but two will all come flooding back to him.
“He’s going to need to tell her exactly how he feels to relinquish that pain. He is going to need to say exactly how he feels.”
Speaking about Ethan’s ordeal when Manpreet went missing, Charles actor Kevin Mathurin added: “Ethan was traumatised by the whole ordeal; he was old enough to know that she was important to their lives and went missing.
“It took a lot for Charles to protect and raise him through that.”
Emmerdale fans were left convinced that Manpreet knows more about Ethan’s mother than she’s letter on after she talked about her and acted shifty.
Viewers were left certain that Manpreet is hiding something.
Does Manpreet know why Charles’s ex-partner left him and their young son?
