Emmerdale favourite left for dead in drink driving car crash – and then framed for it
AN Emmerdale favourite is left for dead in a drink driving car crash – and then framed for it.
The ITV soap started the year with a car crash which left teenager Heath Hope dead, and now there’s set to be another one.
In upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Suni Sharma is in a bar and calls his boyfriend Nicky Miligan to say one of the men who was part of the homophobic attack on them last year is also there.
Nicky wants to drive there, but Ethan Blake sees he’s drunk too much, and says he’ll drive instead.
As they drive to get to Suni, Ethan sees a police car up ahead.
He turns around, afraid of being over the limit and as Nicky struggles to get hold of Suni on his phone, Ethan loses control of the car.
Soon after, there’s no sign of life from Ethan or Nicky in the crashed car.
When Ethan comes round, he carefully pulls Nicky from the car, before hiding as he sees a car approaching.
He then watches from his hiding spot as Moira Dingle discovers an unconscious Nicky, before he runs away from the scene.
Will Nicky survive? And will Ethan confess to what he’s done?
Back in November, Suni was at a club with Ethan and Gabby Thomas when Nicky arrived to make up with him after a brief split.
As they kissed outside, a man called Mike who had been hitting on Gabby started hurling homophobic abuse at them.
Suni stood up to him before leaving with Nicky, but Mike reappeared with his thug pals and attacked the couple.
They kicked Suni unconscious and left him bleeding on the floor while they laid into Nicky.
They only stopped when Gabby and Ethan arrived and intervened but things took a bizarre twist when the club bouncers grabbed Ethan and called the police, leading to his arrest.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
