Noo... is Debbie really leaving for good?

[rossfan]

Charley Webb is going on maternity leave. On 23 November she posted on twitter "And that's a wrap......filmed my last scenes today for a while. Perfect last day with my favourite @HordleyJeff".

"for a while" hints she will be back.

So it is Andy who tells Robert it was Ross who shot him

So it is Andy who tells Robert it was Ross who shot him

This isn't really clear but the latest spoilers do suggest that Robert does find out from Andy that Ross was the person who shot at Robert on September 25th 2015.

The New Year's Eve The Sun Spoilers are very suggestive. They suggest that Robert is in a position to shoot Ross (dead?) on about the day (31/12/15) that Kate Oates leaves Emmerdale. Is this the BIG BANG storyline I always expected Kate Oates would arrange for us TV viewers at the end of her 3 year job at Emmerdale as Series Producer? Kate Oates brought the character Ross Barton into Emmerdale in 2013, so maybe she now acts like a "black widow spider" and consumes the one guy who gave her most pleasure by killing him off?

Maybe Debbie leaves Emmerdale because Ross is dead by New Year's Day 2016?

Time will tell!

That doesn't really add up. Kate Oates was only announced months ago that she was leaving, plus Michael Parr has mentioned in interviews that he was nervous over new producer (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiIyM2L57_JAhUEPRQKHZTyDk0QFggfMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalspy.co.uk%2Fsoaps%2Fs1 2%2Femmerdale%2Fnews%2Fa672304%2Fsoapratings%2F&usg=AFQjCNH1095uKXoqk9VJPYQKTjByDUmeTg&sig2=yBgiA_L3G5aL7MDWjrFRGA&bvm=bv.108538919,d.d24)

That plus storyline wise, on the spoilers you posted for new years day up above, Debbie goes to meet Chartiy in prison, if Ross has just died I doubt she would want to go to prison.

Michael Parr will be at an Emmerdale promoted bash in February with Danny Miller so I'm sure he will still be in it for some time :)

Kate Oates may leave then but her work will be at least a couple more months after that. I'm sure they plan stories months in advance. And Michael Parr said about them making him the shooter and he was worried but they told him how it was going to work out. Hinted that if Rob can get away with the Katie stuff then Ross can get away with this. Would be interesting to see the Robron fans defend that one though. Seeing as they wanted Ross punished for shooting.

Anyway I can't see it happening. Ross knows a lot of dirt on people. wouldn't take long for him to think of a threat

That plus storyline wise, on the spoilers you posted for new years day up above, Debbie goes to meet Chartiy in prison, if Ross has just died I doubt she would want to go to prison.

I disagree with you. I think that Kate Oates would have been approached by Corrie much further back than a few months ago. Kate Oates, as far as I know, only ever had a 3 year contract as Series Producer for Emmerdale. Maybe another soapboards poster here can reliably tell us otherwise for definite on this?

If Ross Barton died on New Year's Eve 2015, it would make complete sense to me for Debbie to talk to Charity the very next day, New Year's Day 2016, to talk about Debbie looking after Moses, as well as other issues. The limited spoilers so far do not say that Debbie visits Charity whilst Charity is in prison. This is just an assumption right now (OK, probably likely but not definite). Charity might have been released by then and may be just staying in someone's house somewhere? We are seeing spoilers for right now which are not very detailed but have been released much earlier than usual. I, for one, really still expect a MASSIVE BIG BANG before New Year's Day 2016 and cannot yet think of anything else other than Ross Barton being killed off by then. Ross's final fatal comeuppance for everything he has done over the past 2 years would, for me, for one anyway, be just a terrific end and natural conclusion to Kate Oates's management of Emmerdale since 2012.

[Dalesfan]

But you posted yourself another spoiler in a different thread

Following Charity Tate's confession that Ross Barton is in fact the father of baby Moses, expect her return to the village to be accompanied by fireworks. As he attempts to work on his relationship with girlfriend Debbie - the reappearance of her mother and his secret lover is only going to be bad news.

When exactly is she getting out then? Before new years day? would seem silly to kill Ross off just before that happens as obviously it's building up to be a reason for Debbie leaving.

Are you sure that's not wishful thinking? A couple of weeks ago someone said they don't think Ross will leave for a while and you said you believed they were just wishful thinking. It's starting to look like its the other way round...

Ross get his comeuppance? ERM what about Robert aswell? He had killed, shot, held people hostage, buried people alive almost and hired a hitman on Chas. If Ross goes and Robert stays then it is purely just catering the Robert/Aaron fans.

Exactly this! I don't have a problem with people disliking other characters. But I do have a problem when they think they should go down for what they have done while it's perfectly fine for others to get away with it. You can't have different rules for different characters.

[Perdita]

But that would reflect reality ... some people do get away with everything whilst others get found out and punished

[Telly Watcher]

But you posted yourself another spoiler in a different thread

Following Charity Tate's confession that Ross Barton is in fact the father of baby Moses, expect her return to the village to be accompanied by fireworks. As he attempts to work on his relationship with girlfriend Debbie - the reappearance of her mother and his secret lover is only going to be bad news.

When exactly is she getting out then? Before new years day? would seem silly to kill Ross off just before that happens as obviously it's building up to be a reason for Debbie leaving.

We know that Moses ends up in hospital on Friday 18th Dec and is in a bad way after more high drama following a quick sip of bathwater at Debbie's hazardous house... Anyway, we also know that Debbie "visits" Charity on New Year's Day 2016 (probably at the prison then). What we haven't been told yet is what happens with Charity between these two dates.

What I think might happen is that the prison might allow Charity to have temporary release on special licence from prison for several days after Friday 18th in case Moses doesn't pull through [he will...], so I guess Charity could stay at Debbie's house for some time, maybe under night curfew, no alcohol, etc, during some of 21-25 Dec, when she isn't at the hospital. I'm guessing that Debbie might find Ross and Charity canoodling or even more to add to Debbie's growing problems with Ross?

1) Spoilers say that Debbie finds out on Wednesday 30th Dec about Ross's involvement with the (Robert's) shooting. Maybe this triggers some sort of PTSD reaction in Debbie from her involvement with Cameron?

2) Spoilers say Robert turns the gun on Ross on Thursday 31st Dec. Maybe Robert doesn't shoot or maybe Ross is only wounded. Whatever happens, I reckon that Debbie will afterwards know about this too. We know from previous history for Robert that he has nearly shot Aaron before (but hit Paddy instead at the lodge) and that Robert pushed Katie by accident to her death, and how Robert tried to suffocate Paddy in the grain pit, amongst many other dodgy storylines, so Robert definitely has a wild impulsive streak and should have a big need for payback for the guy who shot him nearly dead at the back of the Woolpack last September. Although Robert has done some bad things himself in the past, he does have a strange charm about him which helps him get through life and so he remains capable of anything and scot-free for now. I'm not sure that the same can be said for Ross though, we'll see.

3) The spoiler for Friday 1st Jan says "Debbie visits Charity, and the experience leaves her determined to leave the village for good." I'm guessing that Charity blames Debbie for Moses being harmed in the bathroom and that Charity will also talk about her previous love experiences with and feelings for Ross?

So Debbie's problems seem to peak by New Year's Day 2016.

It does look as if the big reason why Debbie leaves Emmerdale is that Charity and Ross have both done enough by then to make Debbie leave Emmerdale and everyone, as mentioned on yesterday's unrealitytv website:

Emmerdale Spoilers: Ghost of Coronation Street Christmas past arrives just as Debbie leaves!

by Lynn Connolly
3rd December 2015

Well, we’re going to see turmoil for Debbie Dingle when her mum Charity gets between Debbie and Ross – he is of course the father of Charity’s baby Moses – which is a plotline that will see Debbie leaving the village for a few months. The character has been temporarily written out as Charley Webb, who plays Debbie, is going on maternity leave.

[Telly Watcher]

On 29th December, Detective Sergeant Hart visits Mulberry Cottage, where Ross is living with Debbie and the kids, to question him about the warehouse robbery. During the meeting, things get noticed (Sarah's new trainers, TV Times, 19 Dec 2015-1 Jan 2016, "but they get more than they bargained for when they find a clue that links Ross to Robert's shooting") and DS Hart later returns with a search warrant. A house search reveals evidence that Ross was near the back of the pub on September 25th when Robert was shot. [TW: On the night of Robert's shooting, the police did find a partial footprint at the back of Pear Tree Cottage which hasn't been mentioned much since then but maybe this now comes back to haunt Ross? I'm guessing that when the police search Debbie's house, they find (or Ross is even wearing) a shoe/boot with the same/similar sole pattern and shoe size as the footprint found on September 25th. This seems to me to be a little dodgy for evidence though, as it can't be certain as to what the exact time was when the footprint was made.] Spoilers say that Debbie gives Ross a cast-iron alibi for Ross for the time when Robert was shot, so Ross, if arrested, must get released from police custody pending further enquiries (Radio Times has spoiled that Ross is arrested on suspicion of shooting Robert, but no date of arrest is stated.). I suppose that, if she was really pressed one day, Debbie could always say then that she was a little confused about when Ross came into her house on the night that Robert was shot. [TW: Ross actually came into Debbie's house minutes after the shooting, with just enough of a time gap to get from the garden behind Pear Tree Cottage, then presumably down the back lane, past the garage and up the front street to Debbie's house.]

DS spoilers say for 31st December that "Later, Pete is troubled to learn that Debbie gave Ross a false alibi for the shooting, but will he tell her the truth? Not long afterwards, Ross is shaken when Robert appears from the shadows and pulls out a gun. Soon it all comes to a head between Debbie and Ross..." Maybe Debbie disturbs the scene between Robert and Ross and it ends as "unfinished business" for Robert and Ross for the short-term?

As I wrote in a previous post here on soapboards yesterday, Robert and Ross's deal could be just to promise each other that they'll keep quiet about the things each knows about the other. But, of course, the only really silent man is a dead man and things usually/always eventually get found out in Emmerdale, so I really can't see this type of "won't tell" deal working that well in practice really The actual deal could go beyond this "won't tell" one though. Maybe Robert gets Ross to promise that Ross will leave the village "or else"?

Whatever happens, Debbie is going to leave on New Year's Day 2016 and Ross is going to be a very unpopular guy in Emmerdale Village. His list of friends will most likely be empty by then and that safe prison cell might not be such a bad place after all, either there or somewhere else away from Emmerdale Village. The main enemies for Ross will include:

Cain - Daddy's little girl has left until who knows when (TW: I expect Debbie to be away for about 8 months.)
Robert - for many reasons.
Chas/Paddy/Gordon - for leading Aaron astray again and making Gordon provide a false alibi for Aaron at the robbery.
All of the other Sugdens.
All of the other Dingles.
Most likely all of the other Bartons (even Emma?)
David - always had a soft spot for "our Debbeh".

As Charity usually follows Debbie's way of thinking, I'm not convinced that Charity will have much time for Ross either after New Year's Day 2016. Maybe Charity and Cain are an item again real soon?

Time will tell what happens next!

Maybe it's time for some New Year's resolutions?

Ross: "I must turn over a new leaf." (=maybe the gold leaf at the nearest Hotton jewellers shop...but then again, maybe not :) )

I'm beginning to think that Debbie has all three kids in her car with her when she drives away from Mulberry Cottage on New Year's Day.

She's leaving in a hurry because she doesn't trust Ross so taking all of the kids would make sense, I suppose.

TW I have always liked Pete (and as Gilly in Hollyoaks). I `m glad his marriage to Debbie has been annulled - he can do so much better than the surly mare he was married to.
So who could be Pete`s next conquest? Megan perhaps? or maybe even Carly. Or possibly Layla - I hope not though. And I hope not Tracey either. Can`t stand her.

Yes, I've come to like Pete, strangely enough since he "killed " Ross on 6th August 2015. Before then, he came across as a moody, quiet, boring-type of character, focussed on his work and not much of a mixer. However, he played the "body in the woods" scenes brilliantly, as too the general scenes since then. I thought he and Debbie made a good couple. Someone stable and reliable like Pete was what Debbie really needed, what with her kids to look after in a stable environment. I think Debbie has been far too mature lately for Ross and that she doesn't want the instablity and uncertainty that comes with being with the young bad boy type.

Anthony Quinlan's last contract was announced on 7th December 2014, so it's due for renewal now (or has been quietly renewed already?). We haven't seen Pete on-screen since 2nd November and there is nothing in the spoilers yet about when he appears again.

The last scenes with Pete in them showed a very close and friendship present between him and Moira, although it may be more of a caring type for now rather than something more like a couple? Pete is Moira's employee, of course, but the scenes showed signs of something more than this, I reckon.

The other women seem already to have hints of possible relationships in the making:
Sam and Megan?
David and Leyla?
Charity and Cain?
Chrissie and Rakesh?
Rhona and Vanessa?

Gemma Atkinson's contract as Carly is due for renewal in March 2016, and Roxy Shahidi's contract as Leyla is due for renewal in January 2016.

The new producer, Iain MacLeod, is coming from Hollyoaks, which has lately been the scene for same-sex relationships, so Rhona/Vanessa and Robert/Aaron seem to me to be good places to start when this influence from Hollyoaks shows in Emmerdale too.

I can't see Charity relating to Pete or Ross for now (Charity usually thinks like Debbie), so I think Cain seems to be the one Charity might aim for. History shows that Charity does like rich guys though, even more when they tend to have a streak for dodgy business in them. We don't know yet just what Charity says to Debbie in the prison on New Year's Day, but I'm guessing that Charity says she likes/still loves Cain, even though she has to live with his bad boy qualities, and that Charity can understand why Debbie has had a similar relationship with Ross. I don't think this is what Debbie would want to hear for now though, as she comes back to Emmerdale determined to get away from Ross and Emmerdale later that day.

So, for now, I don't know who Pete could be with next except for Moira.

Thanks for saying that Tuareet. I did check
and it wouldnt actually be incest according
to the latest UK law.-but she was the wife
of his fathers brother for a long time.
And was his Aunt when he was a child/ teenager
so its very queasy / questionable to me.
I hope that they arent so desperate for
storylines as that !!:sick:

[Perdita]

I also hope they won´t pair Pete and Moira but sadly all soaps like to wreck seemingly happy relationships by making the characters have one-night stands or affairs ... :angry:

[Telly Watcher]

I think we've all seen over the last two years that the Bartons are capable of anything between themselves but I do see the family issue about a Moira/Pete relationship though. It would be like my mother dating my father's brother's son (so about my age). It seems that this would be legal though, as the bloodlines would be different. I guess that "needs must" could happen sometimes in close-knit communities like Emmerdale.

The only other available village person for Pete might be Carly but I think she's too feisty and too ready for dodgy dealings to be stable with Pete, although there is the saying "opposites attract". Of course, he could return in a while with someone from outside Emmerdale but this doesn't seem to happen very often and, when it does, the relationships don't usually last long (how long for Tess/Paddy? Zak/Joanie?). Pete next appears in the spoilers for Tuesday 15th December and up to 31st December so far, so maybe something gets shown about a relationship for him by then?

The Christmas trailer video shows Megan happy and sitting at the Dingle's table for the Christmas family dinner, so she clearly survives her accident with Jai's car on 10th December and seems to be OK. But is Megan happy about her unborn baby or because Jai has gone or both? Time will tell.

Metro published earlier today some Christmas/New Year spoilers for Emmerdale.

There really wasn't anything which added to what we already know though or what I've (as TW) posted here on soapboards already.

What I really wanted to post here about though is that Duncan Lindsay from Metro has definitely decided to roll with the unanswered question of about whether Moses stays in Emmerdale or leaves on New Year's Day 2016?

Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk wrote on Wednesday 16 Dec 2015 8:00 am:
>
23. Discovering that Ross was involved in the shooting, a heartbroken Debbie packs her bags. After a final visit to Charity in prison, Debbie speeds out of Emmerdale, leaving a heartbroken Ross behind with baby Moses
>

So, does "leaving a heartbroken Ross behind with baby Moses" (no final punctuation) mean [leaving a heartbroken Ross behind with baby Moses.] or [leaving a heartbroken Ross behind with baby Moses?]

Now we've had this spoiler indecision here before:

TV Times, 19 Dec - 1 Jan 2016

My thoughts on this right now (and have been for ages...) are that Debbie seems to remain the legal guardian of Moses as of New Years Day and that she should leave Emmerdale with herself, Sarah, Jack and Moses. Debbie has always been, for me anyway, one of the more sensible residents in Emmerdale village. Just why Debbie would leave Moses in the "safe care" of Ross or "Psycho Nurse" Emma seems beyond my understanding right now. If Debbie really turns out to randomly leave Moses with Ross then I, for one anyway, will really know that Emmerdale has now reached an all-time low in believeability and suitability for family viewing before 9pm on ITV on weekdays. C'mon, Debbie, you're a good mother really [TW: aren't you?]. Ross does not have [TW: as of right now as far as I know] any kind of definite fatherly rights to Moses, as I don't think that Ross Barton is mentioned on baby Moses' birth certificate?

[Telly Watcher]

HELLO! magazine followed the Debbie exit storyline yesterday. The wording used is more definite than that from previous writers and suggests that Debbie leaves Moses behind with Ross (=with Moira and Cain?).

"The police investigation into the warehouse raid uncovers fresh evidence into Robert's shooting, leading them to Ross' home. While Robert confronts Ross with a firearm, the discovery that he was involved in the shooting prompts Debbie to pack her bags and escape Emmerdale, leaving baby Moses behind with Ross." (HELLO! magazine, 16/12/15)

Debbie hasn't been impressed with Ross's parenting and baby-sitting skills so far, so would she just leave Moses with him? Maybe during the prison visit on New Years Day, Debbie tells Charity that she's leaving Emmerdale later and they agree to let Moira/Cain be the legal guardians of Moses with immediate effect, seeing as Cain is Charity's cousin and Debbie's father? I'm not convinced that Charity would make Ross the legal guardian of Moses for now, not with Emma hovering around and with Charity still in prison.

The New Year's Day picture scene of Moira holding Moses and Debbie reaching out doesn't make it clear if Debbie is reaching out to take Moses back, or is just touching him for one last time, or has just handed him over to Moira.

Whatever happens, we'll know for definite at latest by two weeks from tomorrow.

2015 ends on an alarming note for Vanessa Woodfield on Emmerdale when she hears some surprising news about her baby son Johnny.

As the rest of the village are busy celebrating New Year's Eve, Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) goes into a panic when she sees something strange on Johnny's back.

With support from her friend and housemate Carly Hope, a worried Vanessa calls in the midwife to find out more.

The midwife's advice is a relief for Vanessa, until she adds something which comes as a complete shock.

Could it relate to Johnny's health, or has the secret of Johnny's true paternity just been revealed?

[Telly Watcher]

Ross (Michael Parr) has some serious questions to answer as the local force continue to investigate the warehouse robbery that he carried out with Aaron Livesy just before Christmas.

When DS Hart demands to speak to Ross about the incident, he lies through his teeth by insisting that he had nothing to do with it.

Unfortunately, DS Hart proves more cunning than Ross could have imagined by making some intriguing observations in the home he shares with Debbie Dingle.

Later, Ross is shaken when DS Hart returns again - this time with a search warrant. With the police now delving into the mystery of Robert Sugden's shooting again rather than just the robbery, is it the end of the line for Ross?

It's an occasion every man wants to get just right.

But Emmerdale's Ross Barton (Michael Parr) makes a colossal blunder with his surprise proposal to Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) in Thursday night's episode, as he forgets her engagement ring.

Keen to impress his fiancée with an elaborate romantic gesture, the Emmerdale badboy transforms the garage into a love grotto.

A small table covered with red petals takes pride of place, with a large bouquet of roses as its centrepiece.

There's a bottle of Champagne on ice, a flickering candle and plenty of fairy lights, but none of it makes up for the fact that he's missing the most important element.

Things then go from bad to worse, as Ross's brother Finn, who's been tasked with bringing Debbie to the garage, goes through with the plan unaware of what has happened.

Arriving in a black cover up worn over a red top, Debbie looks confused as she's forced to awkwardly wait with Finn (Joe Gill). She stands sipping a glass of bubbly while Finn frets in the background, unsure of what's going on.

Debbie is left confused and awkwardly waiting with Finn as Ross has gone to get the engagement ring he has forgotten to bring for the proposal he has planned

With his marriage plans already in jeopardy, Ross faces further trouble when Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) stops him in his tracks armed with a gun and threatening revenge for the shooting that nearly killed him.

Earlier in the episode Robert's brother Andy confesses that it was Ross who shot him after the pair made a deal.

Andy wanted his brother dead as he blamed him for the death of his wife Katie, and he agreed to kill Ross's brother Pete for him if Ross took out Robert.

Charley, 27, will be taking a hiatus from the soap following the New Year's Day episode as she goes on maternity leave with her second child.

The actress already has a five-year-old son called Buster with her partner and fellow Emmerdale actor Mathew Wolfenden.

Emmerdale airs these scenes in an hour-long episode tonight at 7pm on ITV.
