Emmerdale's Ethan Anderson is the subject of a hit and run in Wednesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm, see our TV Guide for full listings).

It's time for the village fete and the locals are buzzing.

But Charles wonders where his son Ethan has got to when he fails to surface among the crowd.

As the fun unfolds all sorts is going on. 

A photographer is there soaking up the action but when he tries to snap a pic of Ella, she refuses... Is this another sign that the receptionist is shady?

Mandy certainly thinks so and warns Liam to make sure he knows a lot more about Ella before he gets any more serious with her.

Ethan manages to stir and limp towards home. 

As he stumbles in to the village, the party comes to standstill when the solicitor looms into view and collapses on the ground!
