Ethan was last seen in the Dales when he went on a night out with Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) after he broke up with Marcus Dean (Darcy Grey).

Marcus cheated on Ethan with Joe just before Ethan got down on one knee to propose.

Ethan was left heartbroken by Marcus' betrayal and Victoria tried to help him move on with a night out in Hotton.

But fans are confused about Ethan's whereabouts as he should want to see his grandmother, especially if she was in pain.

ITV viewers hope Ethan's disappearance will be explained soon.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV and ITVX.
