Ethan Anderson,[2] played by Emile John, made his first appearance in episode 8937, first broadcast on 7 January 2021 and his last appearance on 28 May 2024 when he was killed off following injuries sustained in a hit and run incident the week before.[3] Ethan is introduced as the son of vicar Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin).[4] Ethan's character and casting details were announced on 26 November 2020, alongside that of Charles'. Ethan was described as "intelligent", and Digital Spy noted that he "inherited his father's strong sense of justice and worked hard to carve himself a successful law career".[5] It was also stated that Ethan would be accused and arrested of a crime he did not commit, which would lead to a rivalry between himself and the established Dingle family.[4] Ethan works at a law firm after years of "working hard for a successful career", and John confirmed that the storyline would have "consequences" on his career.[6]

Producer Sophie Roper stated that Emmerdale are "delighted" to be welcoming John to the soap, and noted the "dynamic new father and son duo" will "send shockwaves through the village as they find themselves embroiled in the heart of a thought-provoking story with one of our most loved families", referring to the Dingle family. She added: "With two actors of such great calibre, they're certainly set to make their mark on the Dales."[4] Producers later confirmed that Ethan will be a heavily featured character in 2021, with the younger cast getting a focus throughout the year,[7] and Ethan set to have a "longer-term story arc" after the conclusion of the justice storyline.[3] John stated that playing Ethan is "a dream", and on the storyline, he stated: "I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility in articulating his struggle with truth and authenticity and I can only hope that the audience fully engage with him in the same way I have."[4] He added that Ethan's arrival in the village would be "far from quiet", and revealed that Ethan's presence in the village will have "huge consequences" for other characters.[8]

Ethan attends a stag party with his friends at the Woolpack, where Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) hides a bag of drugs inside of his coat pocket, since she needs to get rid of the drugs quickly. When the police arrive at the party, they discover the drugs in his pocket, and this leads to Ethan getting arrested. He is later released on bail, but is suspended from his law firm, leading him to demand justice from Sarah. Charles advises him not to cause a rivalry between himself and the Dingle family, but feeling he has worked too hard for his career to be ruined, he continues to demand justice for himself.

In-universe information
SonsBen Tucker

Warren Tucker,[a] played by comedian Steve Marsh,[9] is the alcoholic father of Ben Tucker (Simon Lennon). He initially appears when he is drunk and argues with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) in The Woolpack. Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) later sees Aaron's boyfriend Ben Tucker (Simon Lennon) into a taxi. This was after he turned up at Ben's work asking him for money for more alcohol. Liv informs Aaron of the two interacting, and he demands to know who Warren is; Ben reveals that he is his father. He also reveals that he is an alcoholic. Aaron had suspected that Warren had something to do with Ben's murder, which was actually at the hands of Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu), but it turns out that Warren had been arrested for being drunk and disorderly on the night of Ben's murder.

Lennon who plays Ben commented on Marsh's casting by saying "Steve, who plays Warren, is a brilliant actor and it’s been amazing to explore a bit about Ben’s private life."[10] Lennon also commented on the father and son relationship between Warren and Ben, "There are so many obstacles that come with having a loved one who is an alcoholic. It can manifest in so many ways for the person struggling with it, and the people close to them...Ben has been involved in his Dad’s journey with alcoholism for years. Which is why he has tried to help Aaron with Liv, without giving away any of his own difficulties."[11] Lennon also commented on how Ben's relationship with his father would impact his relationship with Aaron, "Ben prides himself on being a support to others, and therefore finds it so hard to face up to his own demons and the obstacles he’s facing with his Dad. It’s not as easy as just cutting ties, especially when family is involved."[12]

GrandsonsHarry Sugden

Russell Posner, played by Rob Jarvis, made his first appearance on 17 August 2021. Jarvis' casting was announced on 12 August 2021, with his character being described as a "mystery newcomer" set to be involved in a storyline for Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson); his connection to Wendy was not initially revealed.[13] His initial scenes see him approach Ben Tucker (Simon Lennon) for information on Wendy and he confirms that he will be sticking around in the village to see her.[13] Russell was later confirmed to be Wendy's abusive ex-husband. He confronts Wendy about his dead mother leaving Harry Sugden (Brody and Teddy Hall) money in her will rather than him. He tells Wendy that if she does not help him to get the inheritance from Harry, her and Harry's mother Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) will "face consequences".[14]

On 31 August 2021, it was confirmed that Russell would hold Wendy and Victoria hostage in a siege at the Hide café to get his money.[15] Speaking about the plot, Jarvis said that Russell tells Wendy that he has been involved in an armed robbery and that the police are after him. Jarvis opined that Russell does not want to shoot anyone, but sees a siege as a last resort to getting the money he needs. The actor also felt that Russell would be capable of shooting someone due to the desperation of his situation. Despite the state of their relationship, Jarvis stated that his character likely still has feelings for Wendy, due to the pair sharing children together.[16] Following the police being called to the siege, Russell is imprisoned and Jarvis made his final appearance on 16 September 2021.[17]

Chloe Harris

[edit]

Chloe Harris, played by Jessie Elland, made her first appearance on 20 August 2021. Chloe was introduced as the sister of Gemma Harris, a dead teenager whose heart was given to Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) in a transplant. Elland was attracted to the role as she felt that Chloe is a well-written character and she felt a responsibility to do the role justice when she was cast.[18] Chloe is characterised as a sweet and genuine person who is secretly struggling with feelings of sadness, anger, and frustration.[19] This is initially explained through her grief for her dead sister, but later into her tenure, it is revealed that she has a controlling father who is in prison. Chloe's family home is installed with several cameras and her father hires numerous people to watch over her. Eventually, Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), her housekeeper, helps her to escape and invites her to live with Kerry in Emmerdale village. Elland has since hinted that her father could be cast on the series at some point in the future.[20]

When Chloe moves into the village, she forms a relationship with Noah Dingle (Jack Downham). She eventually loses interest in him and has casual relationships with Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). This led to the introduction of a stalking storyline for Chloe, when Noah forms an unhealthy and sexist obsession with Chloe. The storyline saw him tracking her location, letting himself into her room, photographing her and her belongings and eventually holding her hostage when she learns of his obsession. Elland praised Emmerdale for covering a storyline about misogyny and sexism, a topic she described as "such a relevant conversation, especially in this day and age".[21] She also felt privileged to be given an important topical storyline.[21] Viewers did not initially trust Chloe and were unsure of her intentions with Sarah, but as her tenure progressed, they have warmed to her.[22]

After Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) leads him to believe that Kim Tate (Claire King) is responsible for the murder, he arrests her. After Kim is released due to no evidence being found, DS Rogers and the police decide that there is not enough evidence to suggest Andrea was murdered.

Esme was married to Charles in the late 1990s, and suffered with post-natal depression, which Charles mistook the symptoms of believing she didn't love him any more, which led to him pursuing an affair with a woman named Tasha. As a result, Esme left Charles, however she learned that she was pregnant again and tried to meet up with Charles and Ethan after 8 months, but couldn't go through with it.

After Thomas was born on 28 October 2021, Kim fought to be a part of Thomas' life and stop Gabby from moving to Portugal with her grandmother Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen), leading to her making a deal with Diane that she would sign 20 percent of what she owned to Gabby, which was worth about 4 million pounds.

Richards was doing a gig on a ship when he learned of his audition for the role of Gavin and filmed his self-tape audition in a cabin. When he read the brief for the role, he felt that he knew exactly how to portray Gavin and felt that he was well written. He was also attracted to the role as he finds it "so much fun to play a baddie" since he felt that they are more interesting than nice characters.[31] Digital Spy confirmed that Gavin was a recurring character and asked Richards if he would take on a regular role on the soap, to which he replied that if viewers want more Gavin, he would be happy to portray him for a longer tenure.[31]
