Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[Perdita]

The actress who plays Debbie has stopped filming now so if Mike Part is still seen at the studios then that's a cler indication that he will be staying.

Not necessarily ... a lot of scenes are filmed out of sequence so he could still be filming scenes where Charley Webb is not required ...

[rossfan]

Well the spoilers week starting 7 December have bits of Ross in them so I guess it won't be much longer. I wonder if they show him coming back or if he gets straight into a storyline.

[tammyy2j]

I think Cain knows it was Ross who shot Robert, or is it a coincidence that after Cain visited Andy he then sent Ross away too Ireland?

I think Cain knows Andy knows more about Robert's shooting, I doubt anyone would think it was Ross

[alcapo11]

I just saw an article on the daily mirror website containing an interview with Michael Part, he says Ross and Debbie will have a happy Christmas but not such a good new year. It also says on the article that Ross stays when Debbie leaves.

Interesting. Maybe they leave the village together at Christmas but something happens off screen and Ross returns alone in January?

Edit: Seen the article now. She doesn't leave until January. At least they'll get a couple of months of happiness then.

She will find out Ross shot Robert + his robbery with Aaron and then end it but I think there will be another twist. When Debbie's gone, no one within the Dingle family will want anything to do with Ross, probably leading to a custody battle for Moses.

so relieved there is confirmation that Ross will be staying! :)

[rossfan]

I've read some up coming spoilers. I'm looking forward to what's to come!

I think Moses might be taken to hospital, could it be then Ross steps up and decides to be Moses guardian?

I'm not sure. I would like it to be a wake up call for Ross so he redeems himself, but the warehouse stuff is set after this so it doesn't sound like he matures at all. Funny thing is, it sounds like it's Debbie who causes the accident.

[rossfan]

I like Ross as the villain/bad boy and don't really want him to have that changed but I would like it so there is a side to him, only a select few, where he can think about others and show a caring side like his son.

Exactly, plus Cain has still managed to be a decent dad to Debbie over the years even when he was the villain. I think when Debbie leaves, Ross will go for custody.

So basically we just go round in circles then. Wonder how he finds out. Not going to be good for Andy either unless Andy/Ross/Robert/Aaron all Come to a deal where they keep it between them. No doubt Robert will blackmail him to do some work or something for him

It'll probably end like this with a deal.

Cos Ross knows about Robert killing Katie.

I get that he should be punished for shooting someone but wouldnt it just be double standards if he was to die or get jailed? Robert, Andy and Cain have all done just as bad in the past. Ross had no hate at all for Robert, he just saw an opportunity to get rid of the brother that tried to kill him and buried him in a ditch without having to kill his brother himself.

Nope, I'm afraid. Someone posted it on the Digital Spy forums. I don't think it was a full article, just a small little hint.

[Dalesfan]

We know Aaron and Ross are going to do something dodgy. So maybe Robert finds out who shot him but doesn't know Aaron and Ross are up to no good. This could be what gets Ross off the hook. As he could tell Robert that he will grass Aaron up for the job they do. Or maybe Aaron sees Them in a confrontation and hears or sees something that he will then threaten Rob with. They all know stuff That could get them all into trouble and they may decide to come to an agreement

I have a feeling Ross will somehow find out that Robert hired a hitman to kill Chas. As that is the only thing Aaron doesn't already know Robert will have no choice but to call a truce.

Interesting spoilers:

Fri 18 Dec
- Debbie worries that she's lost Ross.

Then:
- Debbie's had enough of just about everything, but will she go through with her threat to leave the village and take the kids with her? Or can boyfriend Ross talk her round?

It does seem more likely that Debbie does something to harm Moses.

Yea I wonder what happens. Clearly it's something that goes too far with Emma and Debbie maybe. Interesting that on the 17th Emma visits Charity, Tragedy strikes at Debbie's home.
And A life is left hanging in the balance when a drunken Emma goes on the rampage...

Yea. How does Emma's rampage leave a life hanging in the balance though? Does she go on the rampage at Debbie's and they confront each other while doing this Debbie has left the kids upstairs in their own? Or is it separate

Someone on the DS forums said they think the baby might almost drown because one of the spoilers for that day is"Bedlam in Debbie's bathroom."
Debbie could be bathing Moses (off screen) and Emma breaks in to try and kidnap him, Debbie goes down to confront her leaving Moses alone upstairs.

Could Emma hurt Moses and blame Debbie

[maidmarian]

That is a very likely possibility Tammy.

When Emma does combust I think.it
will be as an act of violence she carries
out personally not via anr party.

Various posts re Ross and being brought in
by KO and her protege etc and likely to
go when or soon after she herself leaves.

All of which apply ( imo even more so)
to Emma.KO was exhuberant -to say the
least - about the casting and many dark
prophecies made. So.hoping at least
one promise comes true!

It's a good theory. I don't think Emma would do it deliberately though.

I actually dont know they do. The inference
is that hes such a pet of hers and such a bad
person that she will. I dont personally believe
she will. The point I was making was-that
if the argument applied to Ross -it applied
more so to Emma. Also seems to.be personal
animus toward the actor ??

The other character you are varied in
personality and actions but havent attracted
so much comment.??

[rossfan]

I haven't really seen any dislike to Gillian. Certainly a lot of comments about Emma.

What I don't understand is on the 21st Debbie is supposedly threatening to leave the village with the kids, but in an interview Micheal Parr said they'll have a "happy Christmas?"?

I think Ross wont forgive Debbie at first for whatever happens to Moses so Debbie will threaten to leave unless he does. I think when she leaves it will be because of what Ross did to Robert plus the robbery.

Comment was related to the actor
playing Ross not Emma!

[rossfan]

Well whilst there are sadly negative posts about Michael Parr, I have noticed, a lot of them do come from people who think that the actor and the character are the same! On Facebook i see comments like "horrible actor! he's a nasty piece of work". It really is lunacy in some cases. This is what happens when you play a villain, you do get hounded by a lot of those people who don't realise that this is a fictional program.

Kate Oates and Michael Parr have recently expressed their expectations of these comments (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiRx4vDzL3JAhUKnBoKHe5JCuEQFggfMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.com%2Fsoaps%2Femme rdale%2Fnews%2Fa675089%2Femmerdale-star-michael-parr-on-ross-reveal-i-thought-my-days-were-numbered%2F&usg=AFQjCNEny4zuqsFpHqJMq3RpkH9ZHFUs2Q&sig2=K-SxRz88qGTm8a1CVgpwzw&bvm=bv.108538919,d.d2s)

Plus we are now living in a world full of social media, so there's bound to be a lot more negativity to characters like Ross than where maybe Cain first joined ED. Now obviously, Cain has had a lot of work done on him and softened a bit so it's not as extreme.

It's nothing to worry about, at least the actors and the producers realise this.

Actually, this theory may be more plausible than first thought. There's a Soaplife article (but that magazine needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, it's known to exaggerate) and at the end it says "What if Emma somehow hurts Moses? What Debbie would do then may get her put in a prison cell next to mum Charity."

That would be some twist!

How twisted would that be though. If she cares so much about Moses like she says and then does harm him just to get back at Debbie or win Custody. That is madness, But then she did nearly leave James for dead so nothing would surprise me. I wouldn't expect Debbie to go out that way though. But then she probably will be gone for a long time so just Visiting a sick relative or moving away is a bit unrealistic. Would Debbie just take the kids and leave? Would Andy let her. And then would she just leave on her own leaving them behind? Not sure either would work

I never really considered anything other than her just leaving for a bit but this seems realistic enough. It opens the doors for over storylines aswell when she returns such as revenge against Emma, her and Ross maybe getting back together and I think Ross will be the one to get rid of Emma.

It's true with Andy still being in the village, it would cause problems for the children if Debbie took them so maybe this would be the way around it.

Im.probably in the minority but think
Emma will do something really bad-
thats the way shes been publicised
and written from the start.
It could be Moses or could be worse
(.in the sense its unlikely they would
kill a child) but would kill an adult!!

That was PND.

[maidmarian]

That was PND.

I have great sympathy for real people
with PND .It can cause people to
behave completely out of character.

This is a soap character and the events
took place a long time before the character
arrived on screen. A lot of the past history
of this family is very questionable.

To attach PND to a character who behaves
as she has done since arrival - doesn't
(imo) help understanding and is more
likely to foster prejudice!! And I feel
is quite insulting to those who had had
the illness.

I am by no means defending Emma, I believe that what caused her to attack Ross was PND, I never said the atrocities she's performed in recent times were connected to the illness, they can't be. Emma has done some evil things that can't be "blamed" on an illness, and I never claimed that they could. Emma has some serious psychological problems, the fact that she tricked a child into believing she had cancer is completely inexcusable.

I believe she had PND in the past, but in present day there is something very off about her that can't be connected to it.

The Soaplife article is very iffy when it ends with self-made unanswered questions, woulds, coulds, etc. I really don't think anything should be taken as actual spoilers but just as teasing questions and red herring/misleading ideas.

We know that Ross is happy for Emma to have access to Moses (from their secret childcare deal made on Friday 11th December). Pete, then Debbie find out though by Wednesday 16th when Debbie rows with Ross over him lying to her about where Moses has really been instead of being with him.

I think Emma helps save Moses in Debbie's bathroom on Thursday 17th. I think that Charity may have earlier agreed that day to let Emma have more access to Moses.

The spoilers for Friday 18th say:
- Debbie and Emma's feud could finally be over.
- Debbie worries that she's lost Ross.

So, after Thursday 17th, I think Debbie is worried that Ross blames her for not looking after Moses properly and that she feels that Sarah and Jack have given Ross such a bad time by tricking/teasing him that he may have given up on them. But Ross then anyway takes part in a robbery for money for Debbie and the kids during the following week, 21st-25th December to try to show that he can provide and care for them. So Debbie hasn't lost Ross by at least Christmas Day (and maybe not until after New Year's Day too, until she finds out about the robbery and its consequences, whatever they are!).

What the end of the Soaplife article says is this (with my underlining for the iffy Soaplife words, and with my own comments shown as []):
>
If Debbie finds out Ross is lying to her about Moses, it could cause her to leave him and the village. [But the lying doesn't cause ... because we know Debbie does find out about Ross lying on Wed 16th Dec and she stays in Emmerdale until at least Christmas Day.]

Or... What if Emma somehow hurts Moses? What Debbie would do then could get her in a prison cell next to mum Charity - who is, of course, also Moses' mum... [But it looks as if Emma saves Moses in the bathroom (17th Dec) and we know from today's Daily Mirror spoiler (2nd Dec) that Charity is out of jail before Christmas Day, so Soaplife doesn't make sense on this as far as timing goes.]

Either way, Debbie's going next month - and we don't think she'll be going quietly, or with Ross.
>
Soaplife, 5 - 18 Dec 2015

More spoilers are due around midnight tonight. I'll post any interesting ones later.

Last thought, maybe Debbie leaves Emmerdale with her two kids early in the new year because she finds Ross two-timing her with Charity...? (in her own bed? :))

[maidmarian]

I am by no means defending Emma, I believe that what caused her to attack Ross was PND, I never said the atrocities she's performed in recent times were connected to the illness, they can't be. Emma has done some evil things that can't be "blamed" on an illness, and I never claimed that they could. Emma has some serious psychological problems, the fact that she tricked a child into believing she had cancer is completely inexcusable.

I believe she had PND in the past, but in present day there is something very off about her that can't be connected to it.

thanks v much for your reply.

It is of course the producers/SWs (not yourself)
who attached PND to the character and then
made her appear a person capable of extreme
violence etc more than 2 decades later.

Soaps are in a position of providing informarion/
awareness but unfortunately they too often
take the "cheap drama" route where any form
of accuracy is lost.

All the soaps do it -to some extent- particularly
in mental health stories and its a great opportunity
lost or misused.

My apologies for any offence I have caused you.

I'd just like to pick up on this as Emmerdale definitely has had a bias lately for drama versus accuracy.

Kerry's recent sudden loss of vision in one eye was used to start a storyline for diabetic retinopathy. But sudden vision loss is very rare for this illness. The usual symptoms are progressive loss of vision with increased blurring and appearance of red blood specks in the eyesight. Emmerdale storyliners apparently did consult medical people over the time issue but went for the dramatic but unusual sudden vision loss story anyway.

Also, Diane's stomach cancer was revealed in a more believeable way following knife wound surgery but the doctor's scene wasn't well done for me as he just quickly said "Well most people who present with this type of cancer, they're lucky to survive another year. But we've caught yours early, it's only at Stage 2 and so is very treatable". I mainly remembered the shock part of "lucky to survive another year" until I replayed the scene back later to hear it all again. I suppose having a script saying only something like "We've caught yours early, it's only at Stage 2 and so is very treatable" doesn't have the same "wow" factor as the screened script with its dramatic first line (which didn't apply to Diane anyway, of course). When thrills are needed...just do it! (and they did!)

As Diane doesn't have Stage 4 but only Stage 2, she should have a better than 50-50 chance (56% survival rate) of living for at least 5 years.

Similarly, Gordon's upcoming storyline on adenocarcinoma has a survival rate of 85% to 98% for living at least 5 years, so he should have very good chances too.

I think that soaps should be more accurate than they seem to be with storylines which are supposed to be informing TV viewers about medical and other personal issues. Bias towards extremes for more drama just makes the problems appear worse and less curable than they really are, particularly for people who already have the problems which the soaps are showing storylines about. In the case of Emmerdale right now, cancer is being shown in a very negative light for both Diane and Gordon and will worry people more than help.

Diane is going to tell Doug on Friday 18th December that she is thinking about selling her share in the pub and is "interested in looking at properties outside of the village". So away from dangerous but green EastEmmerdale but close enough to call in now and then? Gordon wants to "make things right" with Aaron and Chas, so he seems to have a death-wish too. Obviously being diagnosed with a major illness would make someone re-evaluate their life and think of making the most of what time they have left, but it does make these illnesses seem terminal in the short-term when they aren't necessarily and it isn't always necessary to make drastic changes to someone's life when they get diagnosed. There are alternative choices but these won't get shown, it seems, just terminal ones. Looks for now as if Diane, Gordon, Ashley and Sandy may not be around by end of 2016?

Maybe Diane sells her half of the pub to Aaron? If so, where does Aaron get the money from?

1) Robert offers to buy Diane's half of the pub for Aaron until Aaron can pay Robert back, but Aaron refuses this deal as he and Robert aren't best of friends for now?
2) Aaron goes on the robbery with Ross during 21-25 December to get cash to buy half the pub. But something seems to go very wrong. Maybe there's not enough cash or none obtained but just new trouble (with police? with the owner of the business they go to rob)?
3) Gordon offers to give Aaron enough money to buy half the pub, seeing that Gordon's storyline might be a rare bit of bad luck as far as surviving his generally curable cancer goes?

Time will tell!

From digitalspy for 18 December:

Moses is in hospital and Ross has been by his bedside all night.

So it's definitely what we were thinking! This is when Ross finally steps up and cares for his son.

I do hope you are correct Rossfan!

Just hope that one of the effects of
Emmas interference and visit to
Charity is not that Charity says Ross is
not Moses's father!!
It may or may not be true and could
be proved-but Charity has had plenty
of time to plot!

So the sun in hinting that in the last week of December, the police find evidence on the robbery and also manage to link Ross to the shooting as well... right now Ross is at a threat of being shot by Robert, or arrested. Interesting.

[rossfan]

Ross will get away it! (As Donna says here @3:30 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq5X_gnLpVc "you always get away with it!" from last year)

The writers/producer did well to get that line in so early in Ross' story!

Ross will get away with it hopefully, others may disagree but the only way I would want Ross to get sent down is if Robert Aaron and Andy do aswell otherwise there is no consistency. They have all done just as bad in the past.

Soaps have their own peculiar morality ( or lack
of). There are several others in ED apart
from those you & Lizann mention that
have got away with serious crimes inc nurder.
So I agree with your statement. It also applies
in other soaps!

Its one of the areas where Soaps DO reflect
real lives- which is sad for those affected by
murder rape and other violence!

a bit more on what happens with Moses from Radio times (http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-12-03/emmerdale-baby-moses-dingle-in-danger-during-shock-accident)

The life of Moses Dingle will be put on the line in the coming weeks when he has accident in the bath.

The horrific incident comes when a belligerent Emma arrives at the house and starts an argument with Debbie, who then takes her eye off the baby.

"Emma gets drunk and she wants Debbie to come down and talk to her. But because Emma distracts her, there are consequences," says actress Gillian Kearney.

The showdown comes after the battle for Moses's future grows ever more intense, after Debbie finds out that Ross has made a secret childcare agreement with Emma so that she can see her grandchild.

But despite Debbie reiterating that she's cutting Emma out of Moses's life, Ross's mum doesn't take no for an answer. In secret, Emma pays a prison visit to Charity in the hope that she'll be granted custody.

But with Emma looking to have met her match in Charity, it isn't long before she's back in the village venting her anger at Debbie, which is when the bathtime accident occurs.

Scenes to be shown on Friday 18 December will see the baby's nearest and dearest keeping a bedside vigil at the hospital. But will Debbie and Emma ever be able to put their differences aside for the sake of Moses?

Adds Kearney: "Emma doesn't mean to be destructive and, after the accident, there is a bit of a moment between Debbie and Emma. They both admit that if they hadn't have clashed, then the baby would never have been in trouble. And Debbie admits that she was out of order."

so it does appear from that Emma doesn't go out of her way deliberately to hurt Moses.

[JessicaMad]

Sounds like Charity rejects Emma's offer then, must be leading to a massive custody battle in a couple of months.

I think Ross will run away and take Moses with him in a years time roughly. I think Michael Part is bound to leave the show soon and hopefully the door is left open for a return.

Er, I really hate to burst anyone's bubble but Mike and Danny here are just part of a February 2016 celebrity thing. This would have set up months ago maybe.

There is no guarantee yet, in any way, that these guys will still be showing on UK TV screens when this "Bash" happens in February 2016.

This poster publicity is only around now to promote this one particular event. This event should not, in any way, be misinterpreted as to mean that Mike Parr and/or Danny Miller are still part of the active Emmerdale acting team when this event occurs on 27/02/15, or that either or both of these guys are still likeable or popular then. The poster is simply about selling tickets and publicising the event.

BTW, I reckon that the poster clearly shows the difference between likeable Aaron versus unlikeable Ross. As the saying goes, "the camera never lies".

Maybe in 50 years time or so, Ross Barton will still be remembered, maybe for being the biggest low-life that Emmerdale ever showed? Time will tell.

One more thing. I really don't like seeing "that good-boy photo" everywhere of Mike Parr with his grandad. Well, we all have grandparents, parents, younger relations, etc, but using them to try to justify, hide or explain what we do ourselves in real and working life just doesn't work for me at all. We personally show everyone what we are by the things we do and say ourselves. Ross Barton is most definitely not a good boy or good role model in life or even anyone remotely someone to aspire to be. I am so glad that I am not Ross Barton. I wouldn't want Ross Barton's life for anything (or anyone else's come to that!). #noenvy

Just why anyone can fan Ross Barton right is really beyond me. The Emmerdale storyliners and scriptwriters (even top honcho Kate Oates herself?) seem to have made it very clear that Emmerdale viewers are completely meant to really hate Ross Barton, what with his terrible criminal activities and horrible low-life chavvy troublemaking charmless personality.

I really do wonder if anyone fanning Ross Barton is just looking at a blank TV screen from 7pm on UK weekdays, as I reckon that whoever does this must be watching a very different programme to the Emmerdale one I get to see at the same time and get to remember and comment on later on this forum.

Michael Parr has not committed any crimes... he gets paid to ACT it out on a fictional TV show... I played one of the villains in a school production 10 years ago, should I be arrested for that?

I really don't like this vendetta the poster seems to have against Michael. Like you said Ross is a character which he acts brilliantly.

"but using them to try to justify, hide or explain what we do ourselves in real and working life just doesn't work for me at all. "

what exactly are they trying to get at here?

And I think it's also quite insulting that fans of Ross are being made to feel bad about liking the character

[rossfan]

OMG Telly Watcher you really do worry me as a person!

Do you not know that Michael Parr is an ACTOR! Ross Barton is a FICTIONAL character that is played by him. The fact that you hate Ross so much proves that Michael Parr is playing the villain role so well!

As for the photo of Michael with his grandad. Michael posted that on his twitter account. Like everyone else he can post what he wants when he wants.

It's not his fault if other users duplicate and save the image and post it elsewhere.

Wednesday December 30th - The net tightens around Ross
Thursday December 31st - Robert finds out the truth. A family close ranks.
Friday January 1st - Chas rekindles an old flame

It's very cryptic. One minute it sounds like Aaron is in trouble then Ross. I can't wait for these scenes, as a Ross fan it's going to be great Christmas viewing.

I wonder what Ross comes clean about? shooting Robert? The robbery?

I wonder what Ross comes clean about? shooting Robert? The robbery?

well i read in some other spoilers that Ross denies the shooting so it might be something else or it could be coming clean to someone who will keep quiet like Finn.

The only hope is that Kate Oates was talking the other week saying there would be no dramatic stunts or deaths, it would just be an emotional Christmas so maybe h survives.

I've got that feeling as well, and I'm not liking it. A couple of days ago I was pretty confident Ross would be around for quite a bit longer anyways, but these spoilers have got me on edge. There's so much happening with him that it'd be to far fetched for him to get away alive, or at least avoiding prison. Even though I want him to survive, I have a feeling the producers might have a little trick up their sleeves, trying to put us off then scent and then BAM. Tellywatchers's predictions might not be so far fetched after all...

But then again, if Robert Sugden were to shoot him, would the producers really risk having one of their most popular characters go to prison for murder? Maybe Ross gets away, and dies accidentally? Either way, I'm expecting a few shock twists.

Hopefully after the fake death the producers at Emmerdale realise how popular he is and won't even think about it.

I have just read the spoilers and I'm now convinced that Ross will propose to Debbie. It says that after the robbery Ross tells Finn he has a big gesture planned and after Debbie finds out about Robert she decides to go so maybe Ross proposes to her just before she goes and leaves for a year with her.

[Dalesfan]

not really liking the sound of that either :nono:

However if Robert were to kill him then he would only have a short time left on the show aswell. usually, then that would mean losing 2 big characters

ETA - just seen above. Oh gosh not proposing :wall:

I think he may propose, but I think disaster will follow not long after...I have a feeling Charity will be back in the village at some point around Christmas (maybe she gets let out when Moses is ill?) and decides to wreak havoc on the relationship. I can imagine her trying to sway Ross into kissing her and setting him up so Debbie sees.

[alcapo11]

There was a rumour ages ago that Ross was going to fake his own death, so maybe he's **** or has a crash and then decides to leave while the police and everyone else assumes him to be dead.IMO that story would be brilliant, in a couple of years time Ross could come back and cause havoc again.

That would be amazing, Mike would get the chance to try some new things for a bit, then the door is left open for a dramatic return.

I think thats what might happen as Ross is not going to be a character who is continuously in the show, his character isn't that safe. Cain always used to get away with stuff and come back.

It would be a good story but then this would be the 3rd time (I think) that Ross would die/disappear. They really are going round and round in that case :p

I'm not sure if Ross will die but I must admit, with these recent spoilers that I have a feeling now that Michael Parr is leaving the show unfortunately. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and enjoy the run to Christmas.

I bet the episodes will have some big cliff hangers!

I feel the same, I had hoped he'd stick around another year but I don't know at this point. But Mike has stated a few times he's worried about the new producer coming in so maybe there's still a little while to go?

I've just seen pictures on twitter of Andy saying goodbye to Jack and Sarah and Ross running after Debbie's car so it looks like Ross is staying. Ross is also wearing the same suit he is when Robert threatens to shoot him so it looks like he escapes that then runs straight to the village to stop Debbie.

This will mean the dingles and Andy will blame Ross for Debbie leaving and Robert will probably still want revenge, along with a probable custody battle for Moses with Charity. So really its going to be Ross vs the whole village.

I seriously hope they don't go down this route, Debbie is leaving and Ross is staying so what's the point? I want to see him bond with Moses and focus on that, I'd be pretty annoyed if they made Debbie pregnant just for the shock factor. The DS poster said they found out from a magazine, and they are quite a popular person on that site so I don't think their lying, but they could be I guess.

If she is pregnant, could it be Pete's? Would that time scale work?

[Dalesfan]

Haven't heard that. Tv times is the first to mention that then? Would have thought it would have been in other magazines.

Maybe something will be mentioned tonight if it's true

[alcapo11]

I think people saying that Kate Oates is going to take Michael Parr out of the show arent looking at it properly. I think by making Ross Moses' dad has given him a permanent connection to the biggest family on the show, the dingles. Im not saying Ross is going to be consistently in the show but I think he will come and go alot like Cain has in the past and make surprise returns.

The poster said it's a spoiler for next week but spoilers for next week were released quite a while ago. You can find the full synopsis for each of next weeks episodes on DS and they don't mention anything? I think if it's supposed to air next week and we don't hear anything tonight, it mustn't be true. I'm just going to wait for the spoilers.

[JessicaMad]

If she was pregnant with Pete (or Ross's) child before the helicopter crash then she probably would've had a miscarriage after the crash but Debbie and Pete did briefly get back together after so it's possible.

Emmerdale's Robert Sugden angrily confronts Ross Barton with a gun in these shocking new spoiler pictures.

Robert (Ryan Hawley) goes on the offensive on New Year's Eve as the full story behind his shooting finally starts to unravel.

The schemer is already aware of his brother Andy's involvement in the dramatic attack that left him in a coma, but the fact that Ross (Michael Parr) was the one who pulled the trigger has stayed a secret until now.

Over the festive period, the situation starts to change drastically when the police uncover new evidence which reveals that Ross was at the scene of the shooting in September.

Although Ross protests his innocence and his partner Debbie Dingle gives him a false alibi to keep him out of trouble, Robert isn't so sure and becomes very determined to get the whole truth.

Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) is eventually forced to make a huge admission to Robert, which has serious consequences when Robert then confronts Ross while armed with a gun.

Unsure of how far ruthless Robert will go, a shaken Ross puts his hands behind his head and fears for his safety. Will Robert get his revenge there and then, or is this a feud that's only just beginning?

Emmerdale airs these scenes on New Year's Eve at 7pm on ITV.

So Debbie gives him an alibi? So doesn't look like the police will get him. Just all depends what Robert does now. Can't see him shooting him so there must be some sort of deal going to be made.

With what looks like Cain and Moira getting Moses then that will be the next feud. Will Ross care? I'm sure Emma will have something to say but Is ross going to care now he has lost Debbie? I hope he does but with him losing her then I think he is just going to go out of control again, possibly. As Nothing to lose

I think they need to end this storyline aswell, let Ross bond with Moses and get back to how he was when he arrived and just let him be happy and cause trouble. They also need to give him a friend who isn't Finn.

I think Ross will most likely go off the rails and make even more enemies but then something will happen to make him realise he had a lucky escape from Debbie. Then at the end of next year when he is happy again Debbie will probably come back with his baby.

I really hope he doesn't end up with a kid from Debbie, she has completely ruined his character and if he was tied down to her it would make it even worse.

[tammyy2j]

I think Debbie will over hear Ross admit it and this is why she leaves

It looks to be in Debbie's house

[Dalesfan]

I think Ross will most likely go off the rails and make even more enemies but then something will happen to make him realise he had a lucky escape from Debbie. Then at the end of next year when he is happy again Debbie will probably come back with his baby.

Yep sounds like something I can see happening. Hope she doesn't come back with a baby but maybe she finds out she is pregnant and this is just another reason to go. I think he will go off the rails again and not care about what happens. Probably push his family away aswell.

imagine Ross, Chrissie, Bernice, Lawrence, Lachalan and Gabby all living together at home farm, it would be one strange home.

Look for post number 19 on the first page. Could just be speculation.

No, I have not yet found any reliable TV Times evidence (or anywhere else right now!) to me which suggests what you suggest is in any way true.

There are many idiots out there on social media who post things which they haven't checked properly.

Quality versus quantity rules every time.

Rumours are very easy to create through ignorance. Finding the truth takes a lot more time and talent to achieve.

The reliable spoilers which I've read to date indicate that Debbie leaves Emmerdale because she finally realises that Ross Barton is a totally unsuitable boyfriend, Robert's shooter, warehouse robber, etc, etc, and would be a terrible role model for her kids.

I'm really sorry to burst anyone's bubble here but Ross Barton is going to be friendless and finally found out by New Year's Day 2016 to just suck big time as not being any kind of decent person to respect or copy. #reject

Your Ross hate is really boring and I think you will find most Ross fans want him to be rid of Debbie so this is good news for us. Also you do realise this is just a soap dont you? Every soap needs a villain or two otherwise it would be boring.

Someone seen it in a magazine so it would be the magazine that would need to check their facts if it wasn't indeed true.

Also think you will find a lot of info from social media has indeed been true so calling them idiots is unnecessary.

And we all know you think he is horrible and whatever other name you call him. You don't like him but you waste a lot of your energy talking and speculating about him

And you aren't bursting any bubbles. Ross has always been friendless and on his own so it isn't anything new.

It really seems to me right now that all of the males in Emmerdale are really being storylined as being complete idiots. Ross seems to be yet another fall guy who is going to be set up to lose everything around New Year's Day 2016.

All I see right now is a dreadful non-future for Ross on Emmerdale. After New Year's Day, it seems he will have no girlfriend, no friends, no place to live, the police on his tail for shooting Robert, a complete village posse of Robert/Aaron/Cain/Pete/Gordon/Andy/Adam/etc. after him? What a total loser.

Yes we get it. You are just repeating yourself. You have no idea what is going to happen. And him being on his own is nothing new.

Gordon and Adam? errrr ok

Ross is quite capable of handling himself and I would be more worried for the "posse" as you put it being scared of Ross. Like you said he has nothing to lose so wont think twice about doing something to them if needed. But it also wont take long for one of them to run for help when they get themselves into trouble.

Village posse? Ross would batter any one of them and why would Adam and Gordon want Ross' blood? Also he has now made up with Pete and Cain has already tied him up, put him in a van and knocked him about a few times any more and its just going round in circles. A posse consisting of useless Adam, boring Pete and crybaby Aaron wouldn't really scare me to be honest Also Ross has got a lot of dirt on most of the characters you have mentioned.

Aw, c'mon. Keep up! Ross is so like last summer. Look, nobody in Emmerdale likes him, not now, maybe never ever again!

You and rossfan sound like Ross's only two fans in the world right how. :) C'mon, just switch on, dudes! I don't know whether to laugh or cry for you both! So out-of-touch and yesterday... ZZZzzz... WAKE UP!!!

Look, check out facebook and other social media websites. The people who support Ross Barton do it mainly because of his appearance. ("gawjus", "fit", "wouldn't kick him out of bed", etc...). Never any mention of acting ability or nice personality or as a suitable boyfriend. The other replies comes from people who say Pete is good-looking and has a nice stable personality, or Cain who is good-looking and the real "hardman" in Emmerdale, or it's Aaron who is the cute teddy-bear with great personality and acting skills. Yes, it's always/only Aaron who gets the acting skills mentions.

I'm really glad all three of you fans posted here like this, as we all now know about your truly insightful ability to judge people and their character...but then again...maybe not?

again I point you to the fact that Michael Parr won best actor and best bad boy and the year before he won best newcomer. Also the fact some dislike Ross means hes doing is job right as your not supposed to like the villain, that is kind of the point.

The awards you speak of are history and dodgy anyway, not exactly peer-group accredited in the acting industry but based on fickle public tastes. Tune in and just move on, dude. Ross Barton has had some truly bad storylines since August 2015. I really think this actor should move on to a better more serious acting role elsewhere as he has really been the big fall guy and joke character lately in Emmerdale. My impression about the upcoming warehouse job is that Aaron is a big fool for getting involved with Ross, as Gordon beforehand offers him cash as a gift horse to buy part of the Woolpack. But no, Aaron seems to take a small cash handout from Ross to be his dodgy lookout on a dodgy deal. It's just crap Emmerdale storyliners again who should know better (maybe they have apprentice 16yo school-leavers on work-experience?). Just why Aaron and Ross would want to risk their whole lives and futures and everything to steal tatty items like Xmas wall lights from a warehouse is really beyond me. It really does seem to me that Ross Barton has just lately been completely set up to be a totally dislikeable numpty character and fall guy waiting for the big one... seems like all the way down!

I'm no longer going to take your bait. The above post sounds like something said in the school playground. I accept everyone's opinions whether I like or dislike a character. That's what a forum is all about. It's a shame you have to single out posters and make fun of them for having an opinion that you don't agree with. This is a forum for everyone. But You seem to think you speak for Everyone. Maybe doing a little more research you will see the truth and not what you want to believe.

You beat me to it! I just read that this minute. It's a bit of weird article. Either this was posted a bit late or Michael Parr seems to be a bit out of the loop in regards to what the press have in regards to teasers. He goes on to suggest that it's likely that Robert will find out the truth at Christmas which we know will happen.

The only thing that i took from it is that Michael likes it when Ross/the show gets dark. Hopefully he keeps pushing for Ross to keep his edge and not soften as it's easier for writing.
