Emmerdale fans think they’ve worked out the village’s next love triangle. It came following an attack on Suni Sharma (played by Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana) and Nicky Milligan (Lewis Cope).
Last week, the couple were enjoying a night out when Suni was assaulted in a homophobic attack while Nicky was held back in the ITV soap. Meanwhile, solicitor Ethan Anderson (Emile John) was wrongly accused of being the attacker when he stepped in to try to hold the pair.
On Monday’s episode, he ended up losing his job despite doing nothing wrong, while Suni lay in agony in a hospital bed. When Nicky came to visit him, he became angry about what had happened.
“How did that go?” he asked, referring to Suni’s chat with the police. When he got no response, Nicky continued: “Well, they’ve got a good description of them.
“There’s my statement, Gabby’s, Ethan’s and there were other witnesses too, so I reckon they’ll find them.”
“Yeah, I’m sure it’s their number one priority as soon as they’re done harassing Ethan,” Suni replied sarcastically.
“You’ve got to try and stay positive,” Nicky replied.
“Oh please, if that’s all you’ve got,” Suni snapped.
“Hey, I want them put away as much as you do…” Nicky argued.
“Except you’re there and I’m here! I got battered and you got held back,” Suni yelled.
Fans watching began to assume the couple may break up, and some theorised there could be a new love triangle ahead.
Taking to X, @GBGirly penned: “£So Suni and Ethan get together to leave Nicky and Aaron free to become a couple. #Emmerdale.”

Others wondered whether Ethan could be making an exit, with one sharing: “Now Ethan has lost his job, does this mean he can leave for good?”
@buncie44 added: “#Emmerdale Hopefully Ethan will be going out of the show his character is boring.”
Another added: “But surely they can’t just sack Ethan? Specially when nothings come of it.” (sic)
A different viewer posted: “Emmerdale time poor Ethan I feel sorry for him he was only helping Sunni.”
“Ethan’s a c**p solicitor, just been dismissed for no reason. Is he going to do an unfair dismissal case then?” @garyvanjackson added.
Emmerdale continues on Tuesday at 7.30pm on ITV.
