Ethan Anderson (Emile John) ended up in a confrontation with his client\u2019s victim Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) in tonight\u2019s Emmerdale<\/a> (29th April).<\/p>\n In last night\u2019s episode, lawyer Ethan had to represent a man named Jordan (Jack Parr) who was under suspicion of racially aggravated assault after Billy was attacked<\/a>. As Ethan pondered whether he could continue with the case, he confided in dad Charles (Kevin Mathurin).<\/p>\n Charles sympathised, but advised Ethan to carry on as usual \u2013 referencing his own experiences in his role as a vicar. Charles said he occasionally had to hear difficult things from parishioners, so he understood Ethan\u2019s conflicting feelings.<\/p>\n Later, Ethan was approached by Billy\u2019s wife Dawn (Olivia Bromley) in the Woolpack, who asked him for some general advice. Billy had told Dawn that although Jordan had been charged, he didn\u2019t have high hopes for a conviction. Ethan explained that he couldn\u2019t get involved, which only confused Dawn.<\/p>\n Eventually, Ethan admitted that he was Jordan\u2019s solicitor, leaving the couple in a state of disbelief. He added that he initially had no idea that Billy was involved \u2013 a statement which Billy took issue with, given that he hadn\u2019t done anything wrong, having been brutally attacked and abused by a racist man.<\/p>\n Dawn pleaded with Ethan to see sense and back out of the case, but although he was apologetic, Ethan wasn\u2019t going to be told what to do. His boyfriend Marcus Dean (Darcy Grey) told him that if he had a homophobic customer, he\u2019d simply refuse him. But Ethan explained that even if Jordan is guilty, he\u2019s legally entitled to representation.<\/p> The question is, does Ethan really want to be the person to provide it? As Marcus assured him this would all blow over, Ethan huffed a disbelieving laugh and a nearby Billy assumed he was laughing at the situation.<\/p>\n Billy then confronted him a second time, with his anger leading to some harsh words as he suggested that Ethan had never experienced what he had. Ethan pointed out that he had been racially profiled just after moving to the village \u2013 but Billy reminded him that it wasn\u2019t the same, as people might actually believe Billy was guilty.<\/p>\n Ah Billy stormed off, Ethan felt worse than ever as he voiced that, despite how dedicated he was to his career, he wasn\u2019t so sure it was worth it any more. What will his next move be?<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
