ETHAN Anderson is feared dead in a shock Emmerdale storyline next week.
The disgraced solicitor - who is played by actor Emile John in the ITV soap - is facing prison for drink driving, crashing the car and leaving Nicky Miligan to die.
But with Nicky remaining in a coma with the doctors fearing brain damage, Nicky’s family want revenge on Ethan.
And this week they take it with him being mown down by a car with Nicky’s parents Caleb and Ruby and his uncle Cain Dingle all suspected of the hit and run.
New spoilers have been released showing that Ethan survives the hit and run attempt - but perhaps not for long.
Next week he will dramatically collapse at home during a heartfelt conversation with his dad Charles.
