Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

I wonder if this has anything to do with James' exit? A tweet from director

Well it does seem a bit strange that all of them characters are at the farm, Cain is now separated from Moira and Pete has stayed away from her.

Michael has confirmed he will be back filming the day after he is back! So he won't be off for 5 months.

He explains: “As it just so happens the date we leave for Everest was the end of my current contract at Emmerdale. So they’ve written me out for a little while, but I finish filming the day before we go to Everest, and then they want me back filming the day after I come back!

So this basically confirms that he has a new contract waiting

I still get the feeling that Michael will leave the show in the next year, Ross is very much a character that will keep on leaving and making returns. A bit like Cain was, IMO they have made Ross even darker than Cain was in his heyday. It does show how good Michael Parr is at playing Ross, he has shot someone and tried to kill his own brother but he still has a lot of fans that would be devastated if eh left the show. Aslong as its a really good exit storyline and the door is left open for a return then I don't think it would be too bad.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. You rarely see any Barton's at the farm these days except James

I just hope that James' death actually brings the brother closer together, making Adam James' son has been a complete waste of time so far. They are never even seen talking to each other never mind bonding.

I'm stunned at that. Ross'll get done for James and be released within a couple of months I bet.

Yep, that seems likely, I can't see any other way of him leaving after James dies unless he runs off or something. It would also give Ross a bit of comeuppance for his past actions by being locked up for something he didn't do (hopefully he didn't do) for a few months. It would be interesting to see if prison changes him at all, obviously if your theory is true he wouldn't be in for long but it could still leave an impact.
