Actor Kevin Mathurin has opened up about his character Charles Anderson’s upcoming heartbreak in Emmerdale, following the loss of his son Ethan.
Kevin described the deep bond between Charles and Ethan: “Charles has lost his one and only constant, his son, who has been in his life throughout. When others came and went, Ethan has always been there. So now Charles has to deal with a life without Ethan, which is devastating.”
Mathurin went on to explain why this loss would be particularly difficult for Charles: “[Of all Charles’s losses], it’s going to hit the hardest because Charles raised Ethan on his own, and Charles and Ethan have always been together. They’ve been the core unit of the Anderson family, so for Ethan to be gone is going to be devastating for Charles to deal with.”
The actor also expressed his sadness over no longer working alongside co-star Emile John, who plays Ethan. “It was devastating to know that Emile was leaving,” Mathurin revealed. “We joined the show together, and we bonded straight away.”
He continued with praise for John: “He’s been amazing playing my son, and he’s a good mate, a brother, and we’ve had some great moments, laughs and tears together… He’s an amazing energy to have on set, and he’s a brilliant actor, and the future is very bright for this talented guy, so I wish him all the best.”
Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV1
