Emile John looks worlds away from his Emmerdale character in new role
Emile appeared in Emmerdale for 255 episodes between 2021 and 2024 as Ethan Anderson.
The son of vicar Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin), Ethan was a lawyer who was involved in some controversial cases, including defending a man who violently attacked Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) in a racist attack.
When Ethan realised he couldn't represent the man because of his vile views he ended up being beaten up himself.
The character tragically died of a brain aneurysm as he was awaiting a probable person sentence for a driving offence after driving his friend Nicky Miligan (Lewis Cope) to rescue his partner from some men who'd previously attacked him.
When he lost control of the car and crashed, Nicky was seriously hurt. Ethan fled the scene, worried about his career as a lawyer.
When Ruby Miligan (Beth Cordingly) found out that Ethan had abandoned her son, she ran him over in a revenge attack on the day of the village fete. When Ethan subsequently collapsed at home and died, Ruby was worried that she'd been the cause of his death but eventually that turned out not to be the case.
As a lawyer, Ethan's look in Emmerdale was professional, with his wardrobe mainly consisting of smart suits.
So his appearance on Casualty came as a surprise. His character, Jay Buswell, sported bleached hair, a chunky earring and other jewellery and a casual T shirt. More Trending
Jay was admitted to the ED with symptoms that seemed to come from steroid abuse, but eventually he disclosed to Dr Rash Masum (Neet Mohan) that he suffered from Crohn's disease and had taken a large dose of his prescribed medication to try to get through a date with a woman he wanted to impress without having symptoms.

In true Casualty style, the staff managed to fix him up physically as well as helping him to sort out his relationship issues, with Jay looking forward to another date with the woman after he was honest with her about his condition.
Emile isn't the only former soap star to have made an appearance in Casualty recently.

Did 'new Baba Vanga' predict Japan tsunami and record-shaking earthquake?
A Japanese manga appears to have made another scarily accurate prediction after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake sparked tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Nearly two million people have been evacuated with fears waves could reach almost 10 feet after 900 quakes rocked an island chain off Japan. Beaches were deserted as people fled to higher ground, many taking refuge on building roofs, with waves already spotted on the northern island of Hokkaido. But the tremors along with the sea surges were predicted by Ryo Tatsuki – Japan's answer to Baba Vanga – who wrote down 15 dreams she had in the 1990s, many of which would come true. For the latest updates on the tsunami warnings and earthquake follow Metro's live blog She predicted a 'great disaster' on July 5, 2025, albeit making her prediction slightly early. They were published in a 1999 manga called Watashi ga Mita Mira, known as The Future I Saw in English. It became famous for its eerily accurate predictions, which included the coronavirus outbreak and the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami which killed nearly 20,000 people in Japan. 'It's very scary to even fall asleep,' one local told the regional broadcaster MBC. 'It feels like it's always shaking.' Tatsuki, 70, wrote in her diary that she had dreamed of a 'crack opening up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, sending ashore waves three times as tall as those from the Tōhoku earthquake'. The foreword from the publisher states: 'The disaster will occur in July 2025.' In the afterword, Tatsuki added: 'If the day you have a dream is the day it becomes reality, then the next great disaster will be July 5, 2025.' More Trending Yet in a new autobiography, The Testament of an Angel, Tatsuki distanced herself from the predictions. 'I was unhappy that it was published primarily based on the publisher's wishes,' she said, according to The Sankei Shimbun. 'I vaguely remember mentioning it, but it appears to have been hurriedly written during a rush of work.' The epicentre of the earthquake was off the coast of the Tokara island chain, around 745 miles away from Tokyo, according to the country's Meteorological Agency.

EastEnders confirms new romance in early iPlayer release as passion erupts
George has potentially found someone else… (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) This article contains spoilers for tonight's episode of EastEnders, which airs on BBC One at 7.30pm or can be streamed now on iPlayer. George Knight (Colin Salmon) has moved on from wife Elaine (Harriet Thorpe) – with an unlikely local. The two separated earlier this year, when she believed he'd been unfaithful at Christmas with his ex-wife Sabrina. Son Junior (Micah Balfour) dropped the revelation out of the blue, with no real motive to expose his father other than wanting Elaine to know what he'd done. She was enraged to hear that Sabrina had tried to kiss him, and George didn't exactly make things better when he turned to his other ex-wife, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), for a shoulder to cry on. Elaine contacted old mate Drew Peacock (Paul Clayton) for a pep talk, and when he told her to take consideration of her own self-worth, she made the brutal decision to sleep with a stranger she'd just met moments before. Guilt-ridden, she couldn't keep quiet any longer and confessed all to George. His attempts at making amends and apologising fell flat, as she wasn't willing to take half of the blame. In the aftermath, his world has dropped apart. He's lost his home and job at The Queen Vic after the boozer was sold to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), and he's had to move in with brother Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho). He separated from wife Elaine earlier in the year (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) George came dangerously close to discovering Harry's secret (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Little does he realise, Kojo has become entwined in his housemate Harry Mitchell's (Elijah Holloway) drug dealing, after flushing a stash down the loo. Harry has been forced into selling the narcotics for Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara), as the original lot belonged to him. To make matters worse, Ravi and his associate Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) have begun to use Kojo's flat as a base for their operations – and in today's instalment, which can be streamed now, George came dangerously close to finding out. He'd announced his intention to leave the flat and move in with best mate Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), but by the time Harry showed up to prepare for Okie's arrival, George still hadn't vacated the property. It didn't take long for Nicola to seduce him! (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron) Follow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!

Thinking fast, Harry told him that his mum Nicola (Laura Doddington) was holding interviews for a new bar manager at her nightclub, and that he should head down and apply. Upon arrival at Harry's Barn, he discovered that Nic' was actually searching for a bouncer, something which George wasn't interested in. She knew that she had to buy time, and after offering him a drink and having a heart to heart about recent events, seduced him! George couldn't resist her temptations, and it wasn't long before they were tearing one another's clothes off. Is this the start of a new relationship?

Coronation Street's Jane Hazlegrove reveals how she responds to daily homophobia
Jane Hazlegrove's Coronation Street character Bernie Winter is getting ready to tie the knot with Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) in the ITV soap, but in real life, she is soon set to celebrate her 10th wedding anniversary.

Though a lot of things have changed since the couple first met, Jane sadly revealed that she and Isobel still face daily homophobia – but she has the perfect way of dealing with it. 'You still meet homophobia every day, but I just smile at the homophobes and try to educate them and lead from the front,' she told The Mirror. Reflecting on her marriage, Jane gushed about her wedding day, saying: 'I love a wedding, but I never thought that I'd actually get to have my own big party, full of all the people that I love and lots of laughter. 'It was a beautiful thing and a bit of a shock. I still can't believe it and I'm so proud that we've done it and I'm so proud of my love for Isobel.

'That young woman today can see role models in almost all areas of life, including LGBTQ+ actors appearing in our best loved soaps, who are able to work and be celebrated for who they are.
