He always delivers them on point, he needs a storyline ASAP.
I guess fathering another kid from one of his flings is the storyliners ideas of finallly giving him some proper screentime :sick:

Looks like Ross will be getting some decent screentime over the next few weeks and its about time. They've just released the spoiler pics thr 17th April-21st and it looks like the taxi firm is in trouble so Finn asks Rebecca for investment but Ross rejects. So they turn to Moira, and it says that Ross demands his share of the business.

Few Ross spoilers for May....
Ross is planning a fast getaway.
The Bartons come up with an illegal scheme, but is what is they're up to?
Then the police show up after someone is hurt, I'm not sure if that's linked or not.

Looks like Debbie and Ross will be revisited then. This is an interview from the producer....
Speaking to SoapSquawk, Ian said "We've kept the Ross and Debbie attraction bubbling along. I thought that when Debbie came back the scenes between Charley and Mike Parr where the characters were picking over the embers of what they had before were electric, really spellbinding. The chemistry between those two characters is something I had forgotten existed but as soon as we put them back together it was like a lightbulb moment."
"Debbie's priority is her family at the moment, she's got a lot going on there, and the reasons she split from Ross are still there, he's still the same guy. So it'll take a lot for her to trust him again but we tend to have a bit of fun with those two as the year progresses."
I was never a fan of Ross and Debbie but at the very least it's good to hear Iain actually talking about Ross.

I won't be watching. All the other storylines are awful and now one of the only decent characters left is getting the same old crap plots repeating again and again. Judging by Twitter and other forums, Ross and Debbie don't have many fans. I'm also bored of Ross getting so many bloody "Who's the daddy?" storylines. I'm done with this dog****e of a programme until Iain Macleod leaves.

I wouldn't take what you see online as the overall consensus of popularity for Ross and Debbie. There's definetly a fanbase out there for them. They won the best affair at the Inside Soap Awards - over Robron.
Having said that, yes, i'm still not watching Emmerdale either! lol

So Iain Mcleod says they are close to casting a new "sexy, young brooding male" who will be linked to the Dingle family. I could be wrong but I fear Ross' days are numbered.
It seems Iain has no time for characters who were firmly established by Kate Oates.

I thought the same thing when I saw the article. It does sound like an exact Ross replacement, and I'm not looking forward to it. Why do we need more Dingle's anyway? If Ross is leaving I hope it was Micheal's own choice, I'd hate for him to have been axed. I'm already not watching anymore but if my favourite character ends up axed for no good reason then there is no way I'm coming back.

It's that old saying "You don't fix something that isn't broke". Michael Parr is a great actor and Ross is a massive character who gets people talking. It will be a bigger loss to Emmerdale than Michael imo. I think he'd either be offered parts on dramas or even another soap. Maybe Corrie with Kate Oates? Someone that actually appreciated him
:thumbsdow
I can't see any of the Barton brothers being in the show for much longer as it's obvious none of them are high up on IM's plans.
Having read through the bunch of spoilers etc that came out this morning, I'm sorry to say I won't be tuning in regularly much for the foreseeable future, until things improve or the EP changes.

I'm the same, why waste our time watching when there is nothing good to watch?
seeing as there was quite a few tweets about Ross tonight, i thought i'd give tonight's episode a watch (skipped most of it!).
Charity just had to get involved, didn't she!? Heaven help the program if Emma Atkins decides to leave!

I read an article which discussed the new male character... "Finally, it looks as though we are getting a new Cain in the shape of a sexy, brooding male".
That really annoyed me, Ross already fits the description and he's already firmly a fan favourite. Not many characters would get tens of thousands of people signings petitions when they supposedly die.
Also, I just read the spoilers for the next 2 weeks and Ross isn't in them yet again. This is the pattern, he gets a little scam, he appears in a few episodes and then he disappears for a few weeks. Such as a wasted actor and character.
I really don't get it, his first year in the show he got awarded best newcomer and he was already quite popular, then he had his big year in 2015 in which he won numerous awards and became the biggest character in the show IMO (even though some of the storylines weren't up to much). After that it was understandable that he would go into the background for the foreseeable but now it's been well over a year and a half and he's got absolutely nothing to do. It's like he's being punished for doing his job well.
Anyway, rant over.

Debbie is only happy when Ross breaks the law when it benefits her. She really wound me up when she said that Ross deserves everything he gets. He's done pretty much everything he could to help Sarah even though she never even liked him. Debbie doesn't deserve Ross IMO.
I read somewhere that Debbie and Chrissie feud a little bit, I'd like that to be over Ross.

I can't stand her hypocrisy. She can't just play the sick child card to be able to do or say anything she wants. She even admitted that she can get Ross to do whatever she wants for her because he is in love with her. It's pathetic. Sarah's illness is also just being used as a plot device for Debbie to argue with someone and then make up with them the next day, so the plot goes absolutely nowhere. No way I'm sticking around to watch Ross/Debbie Part 2 with Rebecca's sprog (if it's Ross') thrown into the mix as well. It's a complete mess. I much prefer Ross and Charity, they get each other and are much more exciting to watch.

Ross and Charity are 2 of a kind, they're just brilliant. It's a pity that they've never had a serious scene in which one of them opens up the other, I'd quite like to see that.
They're probably too similar and sarcastic to work romantically, but they need more scenes together. Instead of having them do these pathetic scams every couple of months, they should do something big. Maybe go after home farm?

a load of rubbish if you ask me:
Emmerdale's Michael Parr was dropped from big storylines when he climbed Mount Everest
"I wrote myself out of so many stories."
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has admitted that he missed out on some big storylines when he climbed Mount Everest last year.
The actor took a short break from his role as Ross Barton last autumn in order to take on the gruelling challenge, raising over £8,500 for charity.
Michael was part of a team of 41 climbers raising funds for the Steve Prescott Foundation. As a team, the group raised over £200,000.
As Michael was away from set, Emmerdale bosses had to reduce his involvement in a number of ongoing plots – which could partly explain why his character has been so quiet in recent months.
Speaking about the climb at a recent Emmerdale press day, Michael revealed: "I definitely had some moments of coming back from it and I do feel like I've been pissing my life away a bit – when we did that and we saw what a difference you can make.
"It throws you off a bit because it does make you think, 'What am I doing with my life when I can take this time to affect lives?'
"When we first got there, we set off and we were walking with 11 yaks. Obviously the yaks are eating and the cause and effect of them eating is that they poo. Then these little kids will just come along, 3 years old, pick it up, mash it up and put it on the wall.
"You're going, 'This is mental, I can't believe they live like this.' And then four days later you're going, 'I can't believe I spend all my day on Twitter and Instagram and bull****.'
"Your life is so much more bonkers than theirs – they just eat, sleep and love their family and we've got so many distractions. Because I will admit that I am a little bit addicted to my phone. You know, just as much as anybody, you're always on it.
"But I'm slowly but surely weaning myself off all social media, even though I need to keep it up because it almost feels like part of my job now. I've come off Facebook, though."
He continued: "They're doing Kilimanjaro in October and – this sounds a little selfish – but I really shot myself in the foot doing the Everest one in terms of work and money, because I wrote myself out of so many storylines that I don't think I could afford to do it again this year.
"But there's also the fact that I would want to go higher. There's no point in me doing the same thing. I'd want to do something that's a bit more extreme, but I'd prepare for it so differently because I was a broken man when I was up there!"
Opening up about just how tough the climb was, Michael recalled how he nearly pulled out during some particularly difficult moments.
He said: "If anything, I've realised how vulnerable and feeble I was because I was the first to drop. When we got there, at day two, altitude sickness hit me bad. The only thing I can describe it as is being the drunkest you've ever been and the most hungover you've ever been and then having to walk and exercise and figure things out.
"I just couldn't do it and I thought that I was much stronger than that. Seriously, on day three, I was like, 'I'm going to have to let so many people down. I'm going to have to pull out.'
"I thought I was so much stronger. Especially because I fought for years and I've done Thai boxing and stuff. Then when I did something that actually pushed me, I was like, 'God, I'm such a weasel.'"

Wasn't he only away for a couple of weeks?
Yep! I can't remember which interview it was, but i posted it here, where he was due in set the day after returning.
This is why i think this is rubbish.
I think it's a load of rubbish. Seems like Mike just said he'd written himself out of stories as a throwaway line in a chat with someone, and the soap press have turned it into a (non) story.
Personally, I think Ross has suffered - like Finn as well - because they're not characters that IM seems to want to invest in :(

Spot on. They need to stop giving big storylines to B list characters like Tracey, Kerry, David, Dan etc. They are background characters for a reason, putting them at the forefront at the expense of some of your best actors isn't working. There are so many good characters including Ross that are being wasted.
That's an interesting article though. I always thought the aftermath of James' death was crap. The only person who seemed affected by it was Finn. I guess it wasn't important enough to deserve screentime :confused: David's bum is apparently more capable of providing good, well written drama.

IM said that James' death would lead to massive storylines for the entire family, but it hasn't. Finn had that daft stalker storyline for a few weeks, Ross had a short lived feud with Adam, and Pete has just been his usual boring self.
They probably won't even be involved in Emmas exit either. Absolute rubbish!!!

I hope their plan backfires. I'm sick of Iain's favoritism.

I doubt it'll go anywhere. It will probably just turn out to be a pointless slapstick comedy plot, like every other storyline on Emmerdale recently. Heck, I don't expect Emma's storyline to go anywhere after it's revealed. It'll be revealed, they'll kick her out and she'll somehow be forigvien off screen, and that'll be the end of the matter, I think Iain Macleod is more interested in stories about people dressing up as beavers and constant Robron angst.
I'm only watching ED in the background at the moment and what i can make out, the beaver storyline might be one of the worst in a very long time!

There was an article like this a few months ago. I highly doubt Ross will get a big storyline while IM is in charge. I think IM just sees him a comedic light relief character. What a waste of potential.
Surely, Ross would have known a few tricks up his sleeve to get that bat from the guy!?
Did Ross really need Finn's assistance? Would Cain have given that "what should i do" look?
I can't decide if it's the writing or if Michael Parr doesn't want to be the next Cain anymore.

Oh come on, Ross hardly cowered away did he? He was antagonising a bloke with a bat and wasnt scared of him at all. I'm glad they didn't write him like a cartoon villain last night.
I remember Cain beating up those two heavies when he was sticking up for Holly and it looked so unrealistic, it was just a complete joke. Cain will always be the biggest hardman, its like Phil in Eastenders, even when they're in their 90s they'll still be beating everyone up. It's frustrating, but that's the way it is.
I'm still frustrated with the lack of storylines Ross has had but his hardman and bad boy ways have returned recently, he now looks like he fears no one again.
I'm a massive Ross fan and I don't want to be the "new Cain". Ross has more humour and is far more interesting IMO, Cain just relies on his fists whereas Ross has a lot more about him and can handle himself at the same time.
As for the "what should I do look", IMO it was "I wasn't expecting that" look. If anyone comes at you with a bat then you react like that, it makes him human. The after he had time to react he showed no fear at all.
Michael Parr and / or the writers / producer nowerdays seem to have a different direction for Ross which i'm not overly keen on.
You say he wasn't cartoonish last night, to me, he is with all this comedy they're making him do from ever since last year.
It doesn't work for a character who's meant to be a hardman.
They need to drop the comedy side for a bit - only make it once in a while, make it special.
I only say this because, it's already clear that Iain Macloud either doesn't like Ross or know what to do with Ross as a hardman.
The news of Aaron and Robert teaming up against Ross turns my stomach, do you think Cain would let them end up winning?
Ross better have a card up his sleeve! I won't say anymore, 'cos it's pointless seeing as it hasn't happened yet! lol

I don't get why everything has to go back to Cain though, who by the way has also been a bit of a joke lately by running around the church with his dodgy deals and getting kicked off a ladder by Emma.
Ross and Robert are most likely going to reignite their feud so I'd expect both of them to get one over on eachother.
I'm not sure that Michael Parr himself has started to describe Ross differently, from what I've seen he still likes to explore Ross' dark side the most. I'd expect that dark side to resurface after Emma leaves.
I refer back to Cain, because when Michael Parr first joined, he actually said he sees Ross as the next Cain.
I don't mind Ross being human and showing mistakes but they're happening far too often! When will Ross show he is a competent hard man who can think quick on his feet?!

I think the blackmail stuff and how quickly Ross sussed out that Robert is the dad was quite quick thinking. I agree though, I think it's time for Ross' dark side to be explored again.

The it says robert and aaron might not be able to show their faces in the village ever again after they turn to cain for help.
Sounds confusing.
yay! :d
Robron just had to be involved in one of the few storylines Ross has, didn't they!?

I can 100% tell you all that Michael Parr who plays Ross Barton on Emmerdale is currently NOT filming on set as he is in Alicante, Spain as my friend is over there at the minute on holiday and bumped into him in one of the nightclubs over there and she even managed to get a selfie with him on Friday evening.

Iain Macleod's meeting:
"We need Ross Barton have a storyline - perfect opportunity to have another Robron story! Let's include them."
"I'll show the viewers who's a bad boy, even though he was popular in 2015 and won Best Bad Boy at the soap awards, let's get him knocked out without showing how it happened, and make it Cain who does it. Cain is after all the bees knees"

I just laughed when I seen him in the boot, they've already done this before. Cain will be shown to be the hardman like he usually is and Ross will just accept it and move on because its Cain. Would be a very good storyline if Ross (who is known for his revenge) finally decides to get back at Cain for almost killing him on multiple occasions. Honestly, it's ridiculous.

What has happened to turning Ross into the show's next hardman. He's just pathetic now.
Emmerdale spoiler: Ross is beaten up as a party goes wrong
Hour-long episode
Cougar Jools has booked The Woolpack for a party. Ross makes Debbie jealous by flirting with Jools, while Sarah overhears Faith talking about the potential for profit in selling alcohol to teenagers. She decides to go for it by selling shots in the toilets.
Later, drunk teenagers are running wild at the party, while Jools's husband Roger arrives to discover his wife in the toilets with Ross. A fight ensues between Roger and Ross, which ends with Ross being beaten up.
Meanwhile, Lawrence gatecrashes a meeting with Chrissie and Tim, but will he acknowledge that he knows Tim?
Elsewhere, Priya is keen to find out how Leyla really feels about Pete, and Leyla admits that she'd jump at the chance if Pete ever proposed. When Leyla thinks Pete has overhead her, she's worried that she might have scared him off.

Think we need to accept that Ross is no longer a hardman, he's still very cocky and he won't back down to no one but he's never going to be a Cain who wins every fight.
As you say, this is just a plot device for Ross and Debbie to get back together. Just in time for the new boy who's connected to the Dingles to arrive, probably setting up another love triangle.
lol at ross singing ymca to finn
Ross and his brothers are the best things about ED at the moment. Ross is just adorable and the three of them have such a great on screen presence together.
I just wish they'd get a more serious storyline for the three of them - perhaps Emma's reveal will give them something more substantial to work with.
I'd also like to see Ross give Cain a good kicking at some point. It's well overdue :lol:

Well character development is **** for Ross at the moment but let's just admire Michael Parr's physique!

Then why on earth aren't the writers letting him win some phyiscal fights. Last night he showed off his body and it's just unrealistic that that he would keep losing. I'm starting to accept that no one will ever win against Cain because he is the bees knees for every producer it seems but Iain Macleod has a real thing for Ross being cowardly and rather useless at the moment which really does get to me.
Michael Parr deserves better writing for his character.
I don't think the ED writers have any idea for any character at the moment. The programme seems to be all over the place.

ITV announces all star musicals with Michael Crawford
West End legend Michael Crawford will guide seven well known celebrities through an all singing, all dancing musical theatre extravaganza, coming to ITV this Christmas.
Hosted by Freddie Flintoff, All Star Musicals will feature a cast of famous faces who will each perform an iconic number from a hit musical at the legendary Palladium Theatre in London's West End.
Sir Tony Robinson, Denise Lewis OBE, Nicky Campbell, Sally Phillips, Lucy Fallon, Michael Parr and Rebecca Front, all of whom have been selected based upon their stand out performance skills, will train with some of the West End's most seasoned performers as they get to grips with their chosen song. They will then debut their number - supported by a sensational chorus line - to a packed house at the London Palladium.
Along the way they will be guided by one of Britain’s best loved musical stars Michael Crawford, who will be on hand to offer guidance, advice and encouragement ahead of their big performance. With both Tony and Olivier awards to his name, Michael has amassed a West End career spanning five decades.
Presenter Freddie Flintoff will soon himself be no stranger to the stage, as he will be making his debut in Fat Friends the musical later this year.
The show will feature numbers from a range of famous musicals, including Chicago, Evita and Guys and Dolls, with the theatre audience deciding at the end of the night whose performance wowed them the most.
Siobhan Greene, Head of Entertainment Commissioning for ITV, said "All Star Musicals is going to be the ultimate night out, in. I am so excited that Michael Crawford has agreed to take part and with Freddie Flintoff hosting too, the viewers have a real treat in store, with our fabulous cast performing in some truly iconic musical numbers."
Richard Hastings, Creative Director for Shiver, said, “All Star Musicals will be the ultimate ‘Night out at the Musicals', with the legendary Michael Crawford guiding and supporting our celebrities to create a completely unique and magical event'.
All Star Musicals was commissioned by ITV's Head of Entertainment Commissioning Siobhan Greene and will be made by Shiver. It will be executive produced by Fiona Clark and Richard Hastings, and produced by Iona Mackenzie.

I know it's mainly just banter but I think part of him is probably hoping that IM reads these tweets. Ross is barely recognisable these days, and he's looked so pathetic sitting in the pub everyday mooning around after Debbie. IM has absolutely destroyed his character to pieces, will be really hard to turn it around now.

it was NOT Ryan Hawley {playing Robert Sugden} in the bed with John Bowe {who plays Lawrence White} according to Duncan Lindsay of the Metro it was Christopher Smith { who played the small child version of Robert Sugden years ago }
I don't think they'd ever kill off Ross, but i can't see how Moses is enough to keep the character interesting in the show. My worry is that the decimation of Ross's family will lead to very few storylines for him outside of Debbie bloody Dingle. I love Ross, but I also love Pete and Finn too and I love their dynamics together as a sibling group, and i think Ross is going to suffer as a character without a family set, IMO.

Was on twitter earlier and Michael Parr has had more banter with the Emmerdale account, this time because they're only promoting him for sexiest male.
Again though, he'd have a right to be annoyed. He's nominated for best bad boy along with Ryan Hawley but they've only promoted Ryan. Must be a bit of a kick in the teeth for an actor to know that the show values other cast members more than you, it's all very strange, They'll regret it when he leaves and goes onto better things.
I hope they don't end up back in Moira's orbit again... she's fast becoming another ED overused, overhyped "untouchable" character like Charity, Debbie, Knob and Ron... well, all the Dingles, really!
It's going to be really interesting to see If Michael Parr makes any comments once the "shock death" has been aired next week, because he made another sarcy/jokey remark about his storylines yesterday but deleted it really quickly, something like "what a thrilling scene" where he just says one word or something.

I really don't blame him, he was winning the show awards, his character was arguably the most talked about in soapland in 2015 and now he's playing a nothing character. IM out of the many interviews he's done has only ever mentioned Ross once and that was about a brief fling with Debbie, that can't make him feel very wanted at all.
If Ross doesn't get a massive storyline after losing Finn and Emma then he never will again, let's be honest. Such a shame

Ross and Pete don't seem to be involved in Emma's exit at all. Ross is supposed to be at some "comedy' filler singles night at the Woolie while it all goes down with Emma, and there's no mention of Pete. It's all about Moira which I find a bit odd. Hopefully we get more than 1 episode of aftermath as there's lots of storyline potential for the remaining Barton's there, but I'm not expecting much. I think Ross and Pete will just end up becoming one of those random characters that have no purpose once Finn and Emma leave. At a push I could see them ending up in Moira's family unit again but I don't think IM really cares.

Completely agree.
I do hope I’m wrong, but I really don’t think any of this week is going to be about Emma and her sons, Emma facing any consequences, or any in depth look at the cause of Emma’s behaviour.

So it looks like Ross has finally gotten himself a storyine!!!
pete and ross deserved to confront emma, ross didn't push her but how did he know she on hotten viaduct?
Iain also promised that there's still a big future for the other Bartons in Emmerdale, despite losing two of their closest family members in a week.
He said: "They're still central to the show. Pete, Ross and Moira will soldier on. Moira is in a massive story for the rest of the year. Adam is caught up in the aftermath.
"They're more united than not. I love Pete and Ross's relationship, which we explore in detail later. Pete left Ross for dead, yet now they're all each other has got. There's love and hate in equal measure, but they've got to get through this. As a family they've been through a lot. This will test them but ultimately will bring them closer together."

There will be lots to do with Adam to build up to him leaving ... not sure if just Pete and Ross will work ... Emma was a central part in that relationship

there are a lot of people speculating with comments on the Emmerdale fans pages on facebook as well as twitter that Emmerdale is possibly building up a Triple departure in that we already know Adam Barton last scenes are early 2018, but they're could be two surprise departures in Ross Barton and Pete Barton towards end of 2017 or possibly into 2018 because something obviously gets said openly at Finn's grave at his funeral on Thursday 12th October as the spoiler line for this episode is ''Pete and Ross are unaware that the Police are watching them at Finn's Grave''

Yeah, they're probably watching them as they'll suspect Emma was pushed and she didn't jump. Ross and Pete obviously had the biggest motive, so ofcourse the police would keep an eye on them.

Well, i have to say i'm liking Ross at the moment.
Whilst, Pete seems to be the jerk to everyone. Ross is being reasonable to people. He even had a decent conversation with Eric yesterday!
Hopefully, they'll harden Ross' character but i like the idea of getting more friends in the villiage. Maybe gain people's respect like Cain has.

Michael Parr, once again saying what we've all been thinking. Ross has massively lost his edge and identity as a character. The current storyline is a perfect way of getting back on track, hope they don't waste it.
I wouldn't be too hopeful.
If his quote is exact he says "I hope that we can find the old Ross again" - to me that sounds like even with 2 months ahead of filming they still haven't got Ross back to how he was.
Another reason to not be hopeful is with Iain Macleod still in charge.

Agreed. It's pretty obvious that Mccleod has no great love for James's side of the Bartons.

There still remains a fanbase for Debbie Dingle and Ross Barton among Emmerdale fans but Mike Parr reckons that that ship has sailed and instead hopes that Ross can move on and have a fresh start with someone else. Ross and Debbie’s on/off relationship has been fraught with drama and now that Debbie has ended up heading in a new direction with suave businessman Tom Waterhouse, played by Ned Porteous, it looks like it is curtains for the pairing. And Mike is more than happy with that as he reckons that too much has happened between Ross and Debbie for them to get back together now.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, he shared: ‘I think it has been a little bit spoilt now as there is so much water under the bridge. They say that she really loves him but she just pies him at every opportunity when somebody new and better looking comes into the show! ‘So I’d personally like Ross to get into something with someone else and have a bit of a fresh start. Maybe my vision is clouded because Charley and I have had so many stories and there is definitely a spark to them so never say never but now we have young, handsome Ned in the show, it’s a chance for them to explore a whole new thing.
‘Also, it’s nice that the Donna storyline had no moments when they were cheating on each other as that happens all the time in soap so it would be nice to see two people being a couple that could live happily ever after. Who knows?’ As for Ross’ potential new romance, Mike reckons he won’t find it among the current residents of the village.
He said: ‘Who hasn’t Ross been with? He’s slept with his ex girlfriend’s mum, Rebecca, Debbie, Victoria – it’s kind of thin on the ground!’ He then added with a mischievous laugh: ‘That Diane though…! I don’t know if anybody new is coming into the show but it would be good for him to have a fresh start with somebody.’

I think Ross was definitely involved, maybe he knows who done it or he might of confronted Emma before someone else attacked her. The flashback will probably be of Ross arguing with Emma on the viaduct, leading people to believe it's him that pushed her.
Will also be interesting to see if Ross really is trying to frame Adam, I hope he is. We need Ross the villain back!!!

I hope they do not drag Emma's murder reveal out
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has revealed the exciting news that his fans have been waiting for – there's a big storyline coming up for his character Ross Barton.
Bad boy Ross has had a quieter couple of years in the village, only recently returning to the forefront when his mum Emma was killed by a mystery culprit.
Speaking to Inside Soap's Yearbook 2018, Michael has promised that there are big plans for Ross next year – and it sounds like they could be separate from the Emma-related dramas. Intriguing!
"Ross has a big story coming his way in the new year, but I'm not allowed to tell you anything about it," Michael explained.
"It's a big subject that we're going to be tackling and I'll have to do a lot of research for it, which really excites me. It takes me back to my days of studying at drama school!"
Of course, there's no reason that Ross couldn't also be the sinister killer who pushed Emma off that viaduct last month – and Michael has some thoughts on that too.
He laughed: "I've been in this situation before – Ross hung Pete off that exact same viaduct. It's a family tradition! Plus he shot Robert, and at the time we didn't know how that would pan out and whether he would die.
"So if it does turn out to be Ross, then hopefully it will bring back that edge he used to have."
More Ross can only be a good thing in our eyes, but further details on what the Emmerdale gods have in store for him are staying under wraps for now.

Now look at him, the Dingle lapdog who is seemingly manipulated as easily as that. It's an absolute joke!
I'm looking forward to the acid attack storyline but I've given up on seeing the real Ross return whilst this bloke is in charge.
Remember the Ross of 2013-2015? Well Iain obviously can't. Maybe he needs to give Kate Oates a ring? Part of me honestly hopes that Ross leaves before anymore damage is done. He had/has the potential to be an Emmerdale legend but under this current set up he's only ever going to be a support character for the god awful Debbie IMO.

The acid attack story story will just become about Debbie's guilty conscience and her family protecting her. Ross will find out she was indirectly the cause and will be angry for like a week but then she'll start helping him with his burns etc and while she is applying a fresh bandage they'll kiss or some crap like that. Eventually Debbie's magic healing powers of love will cause Ross's injuries to completley disappear, however they'll have a side effect of amnesia leading to Ross and everyone involved in the storyline to forget it ever happened.
I would like to see an actual story told of how this effects someones life in the long term, and maybe in the future a revenge storyline with Tate against the Dingle's but I'm not hopeful. I'm sure mike will act what he's given well but I'm not convinced that this isn't just another Dingle-centric borefest about how they "all stick together and protect their own" at everybody elses expense

Debbie is unstable, what happened to "focusing on Sarah"? Andy should return and take the kids off her until she finally start's putting them before men.
Ross and Joe will properly team up at some point I would imagine. Hopefully neither of them get back with Deboarh

I seen a spoiler about Ross being upset that Debbie doesn't visit him in hospital. SO by the looks of it the truth won't come out straight away. It wouldn't surprise me if Moira steps up for him, knowing that Debbie was behind it then when the truth comes out Ross will want revenge on all of them.
I'm interested to see if the rumours about a drug addiction are true though, it's hard to imagine Ross in a storyline like that.

Mike himself said it on the podcast he does with Adam Fielding.

Wow! it's taken 2-3 years but finally a decent storyline for Michael Parr!

Hard to watch but brilliantly done, loved Graham definitely think he is ex military, and Micheal part was excellent
Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Pete Barton tries to get his brother Ross the help he needs next week.
Ross (Michael Parr) is currently at the centre of a huge new storyline after becoming the victim of an acid attack this week.
In next week's episodes, Ross remains under close observation at the hospital – but Pete is concerned that he doesn't seem to be coping with the situation.
Pete (Anthony Quinlan) convinces Ross that he should visit the hospital psychologist to talk things through, but will Ross be able to open up?
Plus, will Debbie find the courage to pay her own visit to Ross and will she reveal her guilt if she does?

Just been looking at a few screenshots of Tv mags for next week and it sounds like a pretty good week for Ross material.
He tells Pete that he wishes Emma had killed him (Ross) instead of Finn. He then discharges himself from hospital, and ends up at the garage where Dan finds him. He then makes his way home, but he feels like everyone's looking at his scars so he races home to be out of sight. He then takes his anger out on Pete...

Even though I really don't like them together, I did enjoy that scene they had tonight.The way Ross' face lit up when he seen her speaks volumes, it show's that he is way too good for her. He could barely even make eye contact because he's so self conscious after what happened. Mike Parr is already smashing it and Ross hasn't even been out his hospital bed yet. Really looking forward to his scenes next week.
I just wonder how bad the scars are after the surgery. They should look considerably worse to the last time we seen them, shouldn't they?

Wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly the way they go with it, in Emmerdale Simon seems to be the only drug dealer in the world so he's bound to go to him (I think he knows where Simon lives as he tracked him down with Adam once). Then he'll realise he was the bloke at the garage and get revenge.

There were a few other spoilers aswell. Ross agrees to see a counsellor and his mood improves when the doctor recommends a skin graft. Then he goes with Pete to the pub but someone makes a joke about his scars and "takes away the last bit of confidence". It also say's the doctor is concerned about how much Ross is drinking whilst taking medication...
Then another spoiler say's that Rhona and Vanessa discover that someone has stolen drugs from the vets. Sounds like it could be Ross?

Emmerdale's Ross Barton loses all hope for his future tonight (March 28) after a humiliating encounter at The Woolpack.
Ross tries his best to start rebuilding his life in Wednesday night's episode, but it's not long before he suffers another sad setback.
Despite the bad news he's received over acid attacker Simon McManus planning to plead not guilty, Ross finally starts to feel more positive and decides that it's time to stop hiding himself away.
Pete couldn't be more proud of his brother when Ross decides to head over to the pub for a drink, but he's clearly nervous about being out in public again.

"This makes things even worse for Ross, because he didn't want to leave the house and he blames everyone for forcing him to do it when he knew it was a bad idea.

The Victoria thing was just speculation I think, the Rhona thing could be the same ofcourse but it's in two different mags so there could be something in it. It also seems like the newly found Ross/Rebecca friendship is just so he can get his hands on her pills. If anything is going to happen between Ross and Rhona then I hope they go about thing's the right way and have her finish with Pete first. Surely Ross has learnt his lesson after Debbie?
