The viewer figures for Tuesday's episode showing James and Pete looking for Ross in the woods and for Ross to be revealed as being in hospital were only 5.3m overnight, so about 1 million less than Summer Fate episodes and coming down to the regular viewer fanbase again.

UK TV soap ratings roundup - data supplied by BARB

Emmerdale topped Tuesday's soap ratings (August 25) with Ross Barton's return from the dead, overnight figures show.

5.34m (28.1%) tuned in at 7pm on ITV and 320k (1.6%) on +1 as an hour-long episode ended with the revelation that Ross is still alive and recovering in hospital following his violent clash with his brother Pete.

I watched last night's Wednesday episode and a number of things of interest got shown.

First off, Ross had been carrying the fake passport that Cain had got for him in the name of Stephen Parkin. (I wonder if he had Cain's cash on him too?)

Second off, The police are due to visit him in hospital later today, Thursday August 27th, presumably to enquire about his identity, his injuries and how he got them.

So for now, no-one in the hospital or police knows who Ross really is. I don't think Ross will wait around to meet the police and reckon he'll run away from the hospital early this morning. He could maybe find somewhere to stay away for a while or even go back to Emmerdale directly if he has no money and nowhere else to go.

The ITV spoiler for today's episode says "Pete faces up to the past" and another spoiler summary says:

Emmerdale Episode Guide – Thursday 27th August

Cain's angry to learn Pete is hanging around but Moira thinks he wouldn't attack Debbie as he worships the ground she walks on. Cain, however, points out Cameron did as well! Later, Debbie's unnerved to see Pete in her house. He tells her he is just picking up his stuff, but he's heartbroken to see she's terrified of him.

At first I thought the spoilers meant that Pete would find himself away from Debbie, his family and job at the farm, for a while anyway. The ITV spoiler for September 10th says "Pete’s vulnerable state worries his family", so he must have gone downhill mentally/emotionally by then. Even up to then, nothing is mentioned in any spoilers about Ross but we all know that proves nothing, given the secrecy about the whole Ross plot for the past 3 weeks. I suppose Ross could return later today, it is the Thursday big storyline episode after all.

Which hospital is Ross in and if it is the local police (Donna's former partner) he will know Ross

Tonight's double episode showed Ross was at York Infirmary to begin with. York city centre is about 22 miles from Harewood where Emmerdale is set so presumably the wood where Ross was found by a dogwalker was nearer York, so I'd guess the wood was about 5-7 miles away from there.

As expected, Ross ran away from this hospital to avoid being questioned by police over his fake passport. He later showed up at Butlers Farm where he subsequently fell ill (air embolism from damaged lung) and was taken to hospital, presumably Hotton General as usual.
