Emmerdale's Ethan Anderson considers giving up his fight for justice against his villainous boss Greg tonight (February 6).

Ethan recently made a formal complaint against Greg for behaving inappropriately during a recent visit to his home.

While spending time with Ethan and his boyfriend Marcus Dean, sleazy Greg repeatedly tried to grope Marcus' leg.

Since the incident, Greg has been abusing his power by threatening Ethan and Marcus to drop their complaint.

In Monday's episode, Ethan is left disappointed after attending a work meeting over the investigation.

Ethan discovers that Greg is still trying to discredit the complaint by giving a false version of events, which will also have to be investigated.

Feeling disheartened by the injustice of the situation, Ethan suggests that it might be time to drop the investigation and quit his job altogether.

Ethan's sister Naomi Walters becomes upset over the possibility of him losing his career through no fault of his own.

Naomi asks Nate Robinson to help them gather evidence against Greg.

Acting as a honeytrap, Nate heads to a bar that Greg is known to visit and tries to flirt with him – while secretly recording their conversation on his phone.

Can Nate succeed in helping to expose Greg's lies?

Whatever happens, Emmerdale bosses have recently confirmed that Ethan and Marcus are heading for a sad split in the fallout from the Greg storyline.

Executive producer Jane Hudson said: "We've got our Anderson family – Charles, Ethan, Naomi and of course Manpreet, who's with Charles. They've finally got their own home – Charles and Manpreet – which is fantastic.

"We are going to see Ethan go through quite a journey with Marcus on screen, which will result in Ethan being young, free and single – and where will that lead us to?

"There is a lot in store for the Andersons this year. There is a lot going to be happening for Charles in particular, but I'm not going to tell you what that is at the moment – you're going to have to keep watching, because it's happening a bit further in the year."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
