Former 'Corrie' star Bill Ward
James's first scenes will see him pay an unexpected visit to Moira (Natalie J Robb) at Butler's farm.
The newcomer is a farmer and single father to three grown-up sons. Viewers will soon discover that he had a rift with his sibling which wasn't healed before John's untimely death last year.
Speaking of his new role, Ward commented: "I'm really looking forward to it. The Emmerdale team are a very talented bunch indeed and I'm extremely chuffed to have been asked to join them."
Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates added: "I'm delighted to welcome Bill to the show. The Barton family have always been extremely popular with our audience and the arrival of James will be the start of a new era for them."
Ward is best known to soap fans for his role as the villainous Charlie Stubbs on Coronation Street between 2003 and 2007. His other credits include Cold Blood and the West End musical Spamalot.
Emmerdale fans will see the arrival of James in October.

I wonder what this rift was that he had with John? Was Moira involved? Money?
Or is it something that's never been done before???

There are rumor's of Cain and Moira ending things. I can't understand why "The powers that be" won't leave Cain and Moira alone? Do they really have to breakup after all they've been through? Love this side of Cain, not so evil and destructive when hes with Moira. I for one am going to miss these two.

I think there is a temporary split for Cain and Moira but they are back together before John Bartons brother returns. Kate Oates said that the new character would turn their world on its head a bit. I imagine that he won't like seeing Moira shacked up with someone else.
Wonder if he might secretly fancy Moira or end up as a partner for Chas?

I don't think she cheated on John before Cain. There was apparently a rift between the two brothers but if it had of been because of an affair with Moira, surely John would have mentioned this when he found out about Cain?

Sorry, I'm not sure where you get your information from but it isn't the end of Cain and Moira. Apparently they are going to be put through the ringer until at least October but there are no reports of them being split permanently.

Moira would hardly dump Cain now if he is the only one to believe and help Adam (even though he does encourage Adam to do a runner I think)

I don't think she is at all happy with Cain for helping Adam run away. After the hit and run she dumped him but it only lasted a day so I doubt it will last long this time either :-/

Emmerdale newcomer James Barton moves in with former sister-in-law Moira at Butler's next week after his own farm is repossessed.
James is forced into the idea by his sons Pete and Finn, but he has mixed feelings about living under Moira's roof and having to deal with Cain Dingle.
Here, Bill Ward - who plays James - previews the big changes ahead for his character.
How has James got himself into financial ruin?
"Well he has been chasing his wayward son Ross around. Ross has always been trouble. James has singlehandedly brought up his three kids, as his wife left him early on. We don't know exactly when and we're not sure exactly why, but James has certainly been bringing up his three kids on his own for more than 10 years, and Ross has always been a handful.
"Ross has always needed the most attention but because he's one of three sons, he hasn't got it. Over the last couple of years in particular, James has been looking for Ross after he went missing. During that time his farm has been run by Pete, his eldest son."
Would you say Pete is capable?
"Pete is very good at running the farm, but he can't make the sort of big strategic decisions that you need to make if you're in that business. So while the farm has been ticking over, lots of really important stuff that needed to be sorted out for the future hasn't been done, which means that the farm is losing money and going out of business."
Is James in denial about having his farm repossessed?
"He's not in denial - he knows it's happening, but he's fighting it. Basically what's happened is that he and a number of the other farmers have got a deal together, but James is holding out on a deal with the supermarkets. James has managed to get one very good deal with one supermarket in particular, but they keep trying to drop the price that they're prepared to pay for his cattle and he's not having it.
"All of the other farmers have given in except James. He's a very principled man and he doesn't like to be mucked about. Regardless of how heavy the consequences of his decision are, he's going to go through with it anyway. So basically, even if it means ruin, then that's the way he's going to go. James doesn't think that's going to happen - he thinks he's going win in the end by toughing it out, but actually quite the reverse occurs."
Is James embarrassed that Moira is now aware of how deep his work problems run?
"Yeah he is, because he's a proud man as well. He's a farmer and he was a very good one before Ross ran away. James is a pedigree, prize-winning farmer so he's very good at what he does. The trouble is that the circumstances surrounding the demise of his farm are not of his own making - they're of Ross's making.
"James is embarrassed because he's seen what great nick Moira's farm is in. Moira has always run a good farm and he knows that, so he's just slightly embarrassed that he's let his run down to the extent that it has."
It sounds like James starts to become slightly over-friendly with Moira. Is he misreading her concern?
"Well it's partly wishful thinking on his part. James has always carried a torch for Moira. We don't really know what's happened in the past, but there is some history between them. Actually it's quite possible that he fell out with his brother John over her.
"James would like there to be something there with Moira, but he is not a ladies' man - it just doesn't interest him. What he's interested in is his boys and his business."
How does James feel when he learns that Pete and Finn have asked to stay at Butler's Farm?
"Well, James comes across them one day unloading their cattle onto Moira's farm. James's point is that as soon as you move the cattle off the land, the bailiffs will take it over. What James had wanted to do is sit tight and make a stand, but his boys have decided that for him. So James turns up at Butler's with his family through no desire of his own. He would have stayed put and fought his corner.
"James takes up the offer to move to Butler's because his sons have physically moved, the bailiffs have been round and he's got nowhere else to go. They're essentially homeless."
How does James feel about having to rely on Moira now?
"Pretty terrible, because he's a very self-reliant man. Like I say, he's been bringing up his kids on his own and running his business on his own for some considerable time. Now he's suddenly in somebody else's house, not earning any money and not being able to run his own business."
What does James make of Cain?
"Well he can't be doing with Cain, and I'll tell you why he can't be doing with Cain - it's because Cain got his son into trouble. And that's his problem with Cain - he's much less bothered about the fact that Cain is with Moira because, like I say, in James's world she's quite far down the list of things that are important to him right now.
"Right now James has very serious problems in that he doesn't have a business and he has nowhere to live. Those are the two problems that he's trying to solve. Cain is part of the problem because Cain has got his son into trouble and is part of the reason why he hasn't been at home on his farm. Cain is therefore part of the reason that his business has gone down the tubes. So James has a big problem with Cain because he has essentially led Ross astray, and also because he doesn't think ultimately that he treats Moira right."
There's a point in the story where Moira has a farmers' party and invites James as her guest. How does he react?
"Well, James wants to go to this farmers' party because he wants to make some contacts. Moira has got an invitation that is not being used, so James says to her, 'It says here plus one - do you mind if I use it?' Moira says, 'Well I'll do better than that - you don't have to just use my invitation, I'll come with you'. James is quite chuffed about that because, like I say, lurking somewhere deep in James's past is a torch that he is carrying for Moira.
"I don't think James has dated women for years, so he's slightly fingers and thumbs and he doesn't really know what to do. But his main reason for going out that night is not to date her or steal her from Cain, it's to get his business back on its feet. However, there is a very pleasant side-effect, which is that he gets to spend an evening with his heart's desire, regardless of whether he actually makes a move on her, which he certainly doesn't."
Zak gets worried about James and Moira, so decides to call Cain to come home. What happens when Cain returns?
"There is a fronting out between James and Cain. Cain has completely got the wrong end of the stick, thinking that James and Moira are having a romantic night out. Those face-off scenes with James and Cain are always fun to do."
Is there a part of James which thinks he could win Moira's heart?
"Yes, but the point about James is that he's highly principled, and he's not going to go around stealing another man's woman. That's just not on his list of things. Yes if she was free and available he would be very interested, but she isn't."
Is James intending to stick around at Butler's?
"Well, he doesn't want to be there. If he could leave tomorrow, he would. That's why he goes to the farmers' dance - he's self-reliant and he looks after his own business. He just wants to be living in his own place, running his own business and making his own money like he used to do. James can't wait to get off Moira's farm. But he realises that right now, that's where he needs to be because he doesn't have anywhere else to go.
"The idea in the short term is for James to go into business with Moira. He'd merge his herd with Moira's, but he doesn't want that to happen for the long term because he wants his own status and his own farm back."
How are you finding life at Emmerdale?
"I haven't worked this kind of a schedule for some considerable time, and it's great fun. It's a great crew and great cast, and there's good fun on set. We're just trying to make the best show we can and I've really enjoyed it. I had quite a staggered start with filming, so I'm just now starting to feel like I'm getting a handle on who this guy is."
Do you think James is going to be a worthy adversary for Cain?
"James is only worried about Cain so long as Cain is a bad influence on anybody he knows. So, if Cain crosses James, James will be very interested and will absolutely stand his territory, as he's not afraid of Cain. He does also respect Cain. James respects Cain because Cain knows what he wants, and Cain is a self-made man himself. As well as that, Cain looks after himself and he looks after the people he's with.
"James particularly respects Cain because Cain doesn't take any rubbish - and neither does James Barton. In that kind of a sense, there is a strong mutual respect actually, because Cain has got where he's got through sheer force of personality. James has got a lot of time for that."
How are you finding working with Jeff Hordley, who plays Cain?
"He's just a lovely, lovely man. He is just a magnificent fella and he has been unbelievably welcoming and kind to me since I've joined. Funnily enough, I know a guy who's good mates with him."
What about the cows in the farming scenes?
"They're big beasts, aren't they? They don't seem to like me very much! I like cows, but they don't particularly like me. They're kind of scary beasts - I find them terribly scary. I spent a day with Nigel, who's one of the farmer consultants on the show. I went round his farm and a number of other farms in the area, just saying hello to cows and a few sheep as well.
"I was just getting the measure of the farming business, really. You obviously can't do that in a day, but it gives you a flavour of it. I've also read a few books about it like you do, and I've watched a few things on the internet."
Have you driven a tractor before?
"Not recently, but actually a long, long time ago - when I was a student actually - a friend of mine ran an arable farm. I worked on that farm for two months. I drove a tractor then, and I've done all sorts of things. My dad's a butcher as well, so I've been to the market and I know all that side to it."
another Tardis building then, for them all to have space to move into!!

It's the youngest son who's gay, Finn
Emmerdale's James Barton gets a nasty surprise next week as he discovers that his son Pete is dealing drugs.
Pete (Anthony Quinlan) has resorted to the drastic measure to help solve his family's financial crisis, but James is shocked that he would stoop so low.
Here, Bill Ward - who plays James - reveals his thoughts on the Barton crisis and his character's secret feelings for Moira.
Does James realise that Pete is capable of crime too?
"Pete is a good boy, so James is absolutely astonished. Pete has always been James's blue-eyed boy and the sensible one of the family. Whenever James has been away chasing Ross around the country and desperately trying to find him, Pete has always been in charge of the farm and looking after things.
"James is shocked, astonished and hurt by Pete's drug dealing, because he sees it as a betrayal of him. He also feels like he's been a rubbish parent."
So does James blame himself?
"He blames it entirely on himself. Pete says to him, 'The only reason I've been dealing drugs is to make some money for us, because you weren't making any money'. So on lots of levels, James feels that he's let his son down."
But when James first sees the pills, he assumes that they belong to Ross…
"Yes, James walks in to find Pete and Ross arguing. Ross has a bag of pills in his hands and he's trying to get Pete to take one, so as far as James is concerned, it looks very clearly like Ross is to blame. It looks like these are Ross's pills and that he's the one who has been dealing.
"To be fair, it would be totally in character! James isn't surprised by that at all - it ties in with all of the other evidence of Ross being a bad lad over the past 10 years."

James leads Ross out
What was it like to film the scene where James punches Ross?
"Great fun - it always is, isn't it? A bit of violence in these shows is always quite fun! (Laughs.) We had a fight director there who was brilliant. What was interesting about it was that Ross really has a go at James verbally. Ross says that everything that's going wrong in the family is James's fault. That pricks James's conscience, but it's also a direct attack on his worthiness as a dad and a farmer. That's why James hits him. It's not premeditated."
Has James hit Ross before?
"No, I really don't think that Ross has hit James before, and that's why it comes as such a surprise. It's a shock to everybody. James has been a pretty decent person and he's tried to be a reasonable parent, but in a funny way, I think that's been part of the problem.
"James has tried to reason with Ross over the years, but Ross is very much his own person and doesn't want to be reasoned with - certainly not from someone who's 20 years older and who he thinks is completely out of touch. Ross insults James in front of his entire family, so James snaps. He's never done that before and he's extremely shocked at what he's done."

James punches Ross
Why is Ross trying to force the drugs on Pete?
"Pete has been dealing the drugs but he's never tried them. Ross says to Pete, 'You need to know what you're selling! How do you know what's in them?'"
Does James feel guilty when he hears that Pete is the drug dealer, not Ross?
"He feels a bit bad, but not as bad as you might expect him to feel! Ross has earned that punch. James doesn't hit Ross about the drugs, even though the argument is about the drugs. It's more that Ross is showing him up in front of everybody else, and it's also cumulative - it's 10 years of abuse.
"Ross has been foul to James for years and he is the reason that the last farm went under. There's a backstory which we're discussing at the moment and there's a lot of past evidence where Ross has really wound James up. So that punch has 10 or 15 years of bad behaviour behind it. James thinks that Ross kind of deserves it, regardless of whether he's been selling drugs or not."
Do you think Ross and James can ever heal their rift?
"I would imagine that they could, but it will take quite a bit of time. They've been at loggerheads for such a long time, but I suspect that they also see a lot of themselves in each other. They're both astonishingly stubborn and won't give ground, either of them. In that sense, they're bound to rub up against each other.
"When they say sorry, it's always qualified because there's 10 or 15 years of mistrusting behaviour between them. They don't really trust each other and Ross even says to James that he doesn't really like him. They kind of understand each other, but they don't like each other."

Ross is knocked to the ground

Ross is knocked to the ground
Why is that?
"James doesn't like the way that Ross behaves. With Ross, it might just be that he doesn't respect James. As far as Ross is concerned, James is a bit of a failure - he's lost his marriage and his farm and been a pretty rubbish dad. I don't think the relationship is beyond repair, but it's pretty broken at the moment."
Do the Barton boys still feel welcome at Moira's farm?
"They're starting to feel less welcome! If there was a welcome, they've outstayed it and they know that. They've been looking for new places, but the problem is that all of the farms are too expensive and they don't have any money. They're essentially bankrupt. They have a herd, though, so James is trying to join forces with Moira and get the herd to work for them and get back on their feet. They're rearing cattle to sell, so that's how they're going to rebuild their business."
Is there a part of James that enjoys living with the Bartons?
"He enjoys being around Moira, but not when Cain is there! In lots of ways it's a double-edged sword. James Barton is in love with Moira but he won't say anything. If he does say anything, it won't be for a while. As I've said previously, he's carried a torch for Moira for some time but he's also a gentleman. Unless he feels he has no choice or unless he feels emboldened, he certainly wouldn't put Moira in an embarrassing position in front of anybody else.
"Plus if his feelings weren't reciprocated - and he isn't sure if they would be - he would get chucked out. There's too much at stake for him in terms of his family, his business and also his heart. He doesn't want to risk any of those things."
What does James make of Moira and Cain's relationship at the moment?
"Moira is very clearly with Cain. The viewers may see another side of their relationship when Moira's not happy with Cain, but James doesn't see that. He never sees that side of it, so as far as he's concerned, they're very happy together. I suspect James thinks that Moira could do better than Cain, but he sees that they're happy and it's not his place to break them up."

Emmerdale's Chas Dingle will grow close to James Barton when she arrives back in the village next week.
Chas (Lucy Pargeter) promptly arranges a date with the farmer shortly after returning from her time away.

Chas has a date with James
The landlady's return comes just after Cain Dingle and Moira Barton have announced their engagement.
James (Bill Ward) is naturally unhappy with the pair's news as he still has strong feelings for Moira, but Chas's interest provides him with a welcome distraction.
When various people try to put Chas off James, she directly asks him whether she's making a mistake by getting involved with him.
James tells half of the story by admitting that he has wasted a lot of years over someone, but fails to reveal that he is talking about Moira. Satisfied, Chas seems ready to make a go of things with James…
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Wednesday, February 12 at 7pm on ITV
no Moira recently admitted that John was her first, and Alex her second and that was it until Cain etc
seems she has had some liaison with james before he could be one of her kids real daddy
Emmerdale star Bill Ward has said that his character James Barton might be able to move on from Moira Barton now he has found love with Chas Dingle.
Viewers know that James has had feelings for his sister-in-law Moira for years; however, her engagement to Cain Dingle prompted him to consider a relationship with Chas (Lucy Pargeter).
Ward told PA: "I think from James's point of view he just wants to be happy. He has been in love with Moira before, but he's with Chas now and he's delighted about that.
"He's had a thing for Moira for a really long time. She's rejected him for now - but we'll see what happens in the future..."

Ward, who joined the soap last year, also admitted that he has been pleased with James's storylines.
He said: "I'm really enjoying Emmerdale and I'm having a really good time.
"I'm an actor and I do what's written and I thoroughly enjoy the storylines that they've had for him so far and long may that continue."

James Barton will receive the shock of his life next week when he begins to suspect that his 'nephew' Adam is actually his son.
James, played by Bill Ward, comes to the realisation in the build-up to Adam's birthday.
As plans get under way for Adam's celebrations, James works out that the young farmer will be turning 21 and heads out to buy him a suitable present.
Later, however, Chas Dingle corrects James on Adam's age by revealing that he will actually be 22.
Although James covers his shock, Chas's information comes as a huge surprise to him as the dates match up to his past affair with Adam's mother Moira.
An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: "James can't believe it when he realises that Adam could be his son rather than his nephew and he'll no doubt have some difficult questions to ask Moira."

James Barton is a man on a mission next week as he desperately tries to find out the truth about Adam's paternity.
When James begins to suspect that Adam (Adam Thomas) could be his son rather than his nephew, he demands answers from Moira (Natalie J Robb) but grows increasingly frustrated when she repeatedly shuts him down.
Here, Bill Ward - who plays James - offers his take on the twist that could rock the Barton family.
What is the history between James and Moira?
"James and Moira had a thing some considerable time ago. Up until this point, we haven't been quite sure what it is - but it turns out that they had a one-night stand. James has always thought that he should have been with Moira. He's spent 22 years thinking that, but Moira has made it abundantly clear that she simply doesn't want there to be anything between them. James is not daft and he's worked that out, so he's decided to just let it go.
"That's where the frostiness comes between them. Moira was very much in love with John when she had the one-night stand with James, although it was a tricky time for their relationship. On the other hand, James had always had a thing for Moira at the time of the one-night stand, and he subsequently carried that on.
"For James it was one of the highlights of his life - and also one of the lowlights of his life because for various reasons there are quite a number of repercussions that come from it."
Tell us how James begins to suspect that Adam is his son.
"It all starts with a case of crossed wires. James finds out that Adam's birthday is coming up. He works out how old Adam must be and buys him a really expensive watch, thinking that he's turning 21.
"James and Adam have not been getting on particularly well at this point. James thinks Adam is a waster and doesn't run the farm properly. Adam has also lost James an awful lot of money with the recent deal that went wrong. Adam is not in James's good books, but James is trying to make it up to him. He realises that he's been a bit hard on the lad, because he's just a young boy, really.
"It's while James is wrapping up the present that he tells Chas it's for Adam's 21st birthday. Chas says that it's actually his 22nd birthday as his 21st was last year. James can't quite believe it. It strikes him that there is a possibility that Adam could be his son."
What does James do about it?
"James tries - quite gently at first - to have conversations with Moira about it, but she simply won't go there and keeps shutting it down. Each time Moira does that, it's more abrupt than the time before!
"That gives James a problem, because he doesn't want to put Moira in a difficult position, but he does want to know what the truth is. James is quite a responsible and reasonable bloke, but he's quite tenacious when it comes to finding out about the truth of anything. In this type of situation, he will not let it lie until he's absolutely satisfied with the answer that he gets.
"Moira's responses make James increasingly suspicious that there is a chance that Adam could be his son. Once there is that chance, he just goes after it until he finds out the truth either way."
While he's thinking about it, James also comes close to running over Adam with a tractor!
"That was an awful lot of fun to film! The reason why that comes about is that James is asking whether Adam is his son or not, and Moira will not give him an answer. That makes James more suspicious, so it's really on his mind and he's preoccupied.
"James doesn't see Adam coming, so he reverses and knocks him over. It's a glancing blow and Adam is fine, but it's a good pointer to how preoccupied James is. He is like a dog with a bone and he's a stubborn piece of work!"
Moira eventually says that Adam was born two months early, which means he must be John's. Does that appease James?
"It appeases him for that moment, because it is an answer to the question. But the more James thinks about it, the more it becomes clear that it's not the only answer to the question. If John's son was born two months early, he could still be James's."
James later takes £10,000 out of the bank to buy some equipment for the farm, but the money disappears! What happens?
"James hears about a silage trailer that is going cheap, so he goes to get some money out of the bank. While he is on the way to go and haggle with the farmer who owns the silage trailer, he has a quick conversation with Moira and Cain outside the garage.
"At that moment, James's son Ross is pinned to the floor by a car engine. He runs over to help him out and when he comes back, he suddenly realises that the money has vanished…"
What happens next?
"Moira blames James for the money going missing, when it's not really his fault. It was James's responsibility, but it's not his fault and he cannot see why Moira doesn't understand that. They have a bit of a barney about it, and Moira is really piling on the pressure about it. Adam is also loving it because James has given him such a hard time about losing money on the deal.
"Moira and James have a chat about the situation in the pub, and it becomes very clear to James that he can't work with someone who doesn't trust him. It irks him that Moira will no longer trust him, so in those circumstances, he is not prepared to work for her any longer. What James smells is constructive dismissal and he can see where it's going. Under those type of circumstances, he fires himself."
He also moves out of the farm, doesn't he?
"Yes, James decides that he can't possibly live there anymore. He's had a pretty rubbish time living there anyway, and he hasn't wanted to be there for a while. In a way, it solves a problem for him because he moves out of a place where he doesn't feel comfortable.
"What James hasn't thought about is where he's going to move to. He certainly doesn't want to live with Ross or Adam, so he knocks on Chas's door and tries to hint his way in there. Chas is forced to agree. It's a little bit early for both of them, but she takes him in."
Do you think it would be a good twist if Adam did turn out to be James's son?
"Either way, there is a lot of drama to come. Even if Adam isn't James's son, I suspect there will be a lot of drama in terms of how he works that out. It'll also be a situation where James is trying to get to the truth and Moira is trying to stand in his way.
"If Adam is James's son, that is tremendously bad news for all concerned. From Moira's point of view, it means that John wasn't Adam's dad. From James's point of view, it means that he is going to have to tell his boys that they've got another brother. He'll also have to tell his boys that he was unfaithful to their mother and the last 22 years have been a lie.
"Either way, there's a lot of drama in this story - and it's just a case of which way the writers decide to go with it!"

Emmerdale star Bill Ward has explained that his character James Barton is looking for "understanding and attention" when he has a one-night stand with his estranged wife Emma.
James sleeps with Emma next week after a big argument with his current partner Chas Dingle, which is sparked when Chas refuses to tell him the reason for her recent secret conversations with Paddy Kirk.
A paranoid James fears that Chas (Lucy Pargeter) could be having an affair with Paddy, but in reality she has merely been confiding in him about her son Aaron's troubles.
Revealing James's take on the situation, Ward explained: "What happens is that James is having a dreadful time with Chas, who is not speaking to him and is excluding him from her life.
"I wouldn't imagine they are having a lot of sex, they are certainly not talking, and they are not communicating as two people who are going out with each other should. Chas is more worried about Aaron and won't tell him what it is she is worried about, but he can see she is deeply bothered about something she is telling Paddy about."

He continued: "James confronts Chas one night and she won't tell him what the whole Paddy thing is about, so he walks out on her. It's that night that James and Emma get together. What Emma gives him that night is everything he is not getting from Chas - attention, understanding, conversation and sex.
"What's interesting is that the sex is the last part of that and all of the other things happen first. It's in the heat of the moment, but there is a tenderness there and you can kind of see what they might have had once."
Ward added that James is also mourning for his lost family unit as he and Emma (Gillian Kearney) are currently in the process of getting a divorce.

Discussing the official separation, he said: "James has sort of had second thoughts about that, so there is a part of him that would like it - like she would - if they were back together. There is a part of him that is still in their relationship and still in an ideal world, so he would like it for his boys to have a healthy and happy family unit. So in his mind that would be a good thing too."
Viewers will see James regret his actions in the cold light of day, but Chas refuses to forgive him when she finds out what happened.

Chas was never into james because if she was she would fight for her man. The writing has indicated to me chas and James were never serious. This is no passionate love story. I think james and chas both wanted out of a boring relationship.

Emmerdale star Bill Ward has hinted that his character's ongoing love triangle could reach a conclusion soon, revealing that James wants to get back with his former wife Emma.
Viewers know that Emma (Gillian Kearney) is currently scheming to prise James away from Chas (Lucy Pargeter) once and for all.
Chas recently dumped James after discovering that he had spent the night with Emma, but tonight's episode of the soap will see the old chemistry between them return, leaving Emma furious.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain this morning (May 7), Ward discussed his character's complicated love life, admitting that James's feelings truly lie with Emma.
When asked if James would make a decision soon, Ward said: "I suspect the decision might be made for him by one of the other two.
"The thing with James is that he would like at some point to get back with his wife Emma because he loves her. He has always felt like he was responsible for the break-up of his family and all those kinds of things.
"We will see what happens. It's feisty, juicy, all the above. And possibly violent in a soap way, who can tell?"

Ward, who previously starred on Coronation Street, also revealed that he is enjoying his time on Emmerdale, having had a break from soaps.
He said: "It means you are constantly working. You are constantly getting new scripts and you are constantly trying to work out which way a character is going to go.
"The thing about soaps is that it is open-ended. If you do a play, or a film, you have already got a beginning, a middle and an end.
"Whereas with a show like Emmerdale or Corrie, you have a beginning, you have a middle, but you don't know what the end is. So you have to play it out for the moment."

The Sun TV Soap magazine published on 13-09-15:
Notes on Nana Barton
Nana Barton had two sons - one, John, now deceased, and James. According to James, John was the golden boy.
Nana and Moira have never got on. Moira once described Nana as a "tight-fisted old cow" when she wouldn't bail out the family in 2013.
The Bartons once waited four hours for Nana to be returned from hospital. She was full of beans as she'd been in the men's ward...
did we ever meet nana barton even for john funeral?

No, she gets referred to but has never been seen on screen
THEY say bad things come in threes, and sadly for Emmerdale fans that is true of the soap’s favourite characters.
I told last month how soap legend KELVIN FLETCHER, who played Andy Sugden for 20 years, had quit, and was then followed out the door by SOPHIE POWLES, who played Holly Barton.
And now one of the show’s biggest names is joining them — BILL WARD.
Bill, who plays James Barton in Yorkshire-based soap, is being killed off in dramatic storylines to air later this year.
Dramatic moment Emmerdale's James Barton punches Cain Dingle in the face
The actor is one of the show’s most recognisable faces, having spent four years on Coronation Street as Charlie Stubbs previous to joining as farmer James.
A source said: “It’s the third name in quick succession that is going out the exit door.
Kevin Fletcher, who played Andy Sugden, has also left the soap
“Losing Andy Sugden, one of the show’s most popular characters ever, was a massive blow. Sophie, having only just come back after a long break, was a shame too.
“And now James is going. Emmerdale fans shouldn’t get too attached to their favourites as you never know who’s going to go next.

Emmerdale brings us the show's very own version of Misery next week as James Barton is held captive by his unstable wife Emma.
James finds himself in a terrifying situation after he breaks his leg and ends up with Emma (Gillian Kearney) as his devoted nurse at home. What could possibly go wrong?
A very sinister week for James kicks off when his son Ross (Michael Parr) has a furious showdown with him, wanting answers over his relationship with Moira.
Ross is far from happy after Moira (Natalie J Robb) tells him about James recently declaring his love for her - and the dramatic scuffle that follows leads to James falling down the stairs and injuring his leg.
Things only get worse for James when the tension later continues at the hospital - and the inevitable finally happens when Emma overhears Ross talking about his father's latest infidelity.
But rather than take the normal approach of dumping James on the spot and moving on with her life, Emma instead decides to keep her discovery to herself. She even tries to be closer than ever to James by promising to nurse him back to full health.
Bill Ward, who plays James, laughed: "James thinks he's being very nicely looked after by Emma, until he discovers that she has been putting liquid morphine in his food! As you can imagine, he's not particularly happy about that.
"But even then, he's still prepared to make a go of it with Emma, because he knows that he's not saintly white himself. He's trying his hardest to forgive her because he genuinely wants them to play happy families now. He'll do anything to make that happen."
Sounds slightly naive to us. But James finally starts to worry when it becomes clear that Emma may never actually let him leave the house again.
Bill revealed: "James is just about to go off and see the boys when in a dreadful and extraordinary piece of bad luck, he breaks his leg again! Emma ushers him back upstairs to bed and he's in a fairly substantial amount of pain.
"Emma tells James to wait for an ambulance, but he realises it's not coming when it doesn't turn up. He also sees Emma out of the window, stamping on his phone and throwing it in the nettles.
"That's when James realises things may be more serious than he thought. After that, he does try to work out a way for him to escape. That's partly by sweet-talking Emma and partly by coming up with ways to straightforward escape!
"James does use a few different tactics to try and get out, but at this point he still isn't in fear of his life. He's just trying to get out of the house, see his boys and go to the hospital."
So, did Bill look for any inspiration by watching the 1990 film version of Misery, based on Stephen King's classic novel?
"I bought the film and then didn't watch it," he admitted. "I saw it when it was out in the early '90s and what a fantastic film it was.
"But we got the writing quite early for a lot of this story. I could see that the writing was really good and very dramatic, so I didn't think it would be a good idea to watch the film.
"I could see quite clearly how this came from the character relationships that we have - it wasn't the same as Misery. Yes it has a character holding another character captive, but these are two people who are in love. That is very different to the set-up in Misery, where it's a superfan and a writer.
"So these are two equals trying to make the best of a marriage that they know is flawed. I will almost certainly watch it after all this plays out, but for now I didn't want the shadow of it hanging over me and for me to be thinking about something else."

Iain MacLeod has spoken out about the decision to kill off James Barton in the show's latest devastating storyline twist.
Former Corrie star Bill Ward has been written out of the soap, as his character James failed to recover from the injuries he'd sustained when his unstable wife Emma pushed him off a road bridge.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press conference, Iain was asked why James was the one to go – and whether he ever considered killing off more than just one character.
"We talked about lots of different permutations, so yes there was a possibility of more deaths," Iain admitted. "But it felt like we'd certainly earned the exit in James's case and that story was pitched a very long time ago.
"It was one of those instances where unfortunately Bill was the victim of a very good story. It was just so compelling that we just thought, 'Ugh, we kind of have to do that'. That was the one that stuck out that was the most earned, I suppose.
"It was the sort of thing where the story just evolved and it was just too good not to tell."
Iain also joked: "Obviously being in my position, the temptation is just to get the metaphorical scattergun out and take down as many people as you can, but you know, I have to rein in my crazier excesses sometimes. But yes, it did occur to us."
Iain was also full of praise for just how much Bill threw himself into the stunt scenes – even insisting on playing himself when a lifeless James was lying in the road.
He laughed: "On the roadside stuff, I'd been walking down there because I went on the location shoots. I'd assume it was a dummy and then suddenly the dummy would go, 'Hello!'
"I'd say, 'Bill, this is a real dedication to the craft. Everyone else has gone for their tea break and you're still there lying on the road!'"

Notes on Nana Barton
Nana Barton had two sons - one, John, now deceased, and James. According to James, John was the golden boy.
Nana and Moira have never got on. Moira once described Nana as a "tight-fisted old cow" when she wouldn't bail out the family in 2013.
The Bartons once waited four hours for Nana to be returned from hospital. She was full of beans as she'd been in the men's ward...
will she show up now for james funeral
Now when James is (sadly) gone and Andy too..there's not one farmer in Emmerdale-other than Moira. And this is supposed to be based in a small village on countryside...??? There's 3 vets though on a clinic-and none of them seem to be doing any work half of the time...Joke.

The show changed names for a reason, its completely different now. They will probably get a new farmer in though, Finn, Pete and Ross have all worked on the farm at one point.
