Okay, here's my take on Ross: yes, he has posted a "goodbye" video, but is it really official? It has been pointed out that, unlike the ones made by Alycia (Ruby) and Charlie (Val), it's not shot on location but hastily done on Instagram, so it quite likely COULD be a bluff, intending for the audience to think Ross is really a goner.
However, IF Ross really is dead and his body is found, it may not just be Pete's DNA found on him, but Cain's as well. And both of them knocked him on the head, so Cain might think he's responsible (just like his sister Chas thought she'd been the one to knock Carl off via similar means). Pete, however, will know he is the one responsible (just like Cameron was with Carl) and over time turn even darker (just like Cameron did) and keep it all a secret from Debbie (just... like... Cameron....). Poor Debs. Unfortunately this time around, she's partly to blame by having an affair in the first place. Last time, it was Chas. Both of them survived Cameron, but will Debbie survive Pete??
I aren't sure if ross is dead either, emmerdale site and other media certainly haven't made the same fuss for ross as ruby and val. Emmerdale need to be careful here of not making this storyline silly, as so much evidence points at pete, missing from hospital, seen fighting at the hospital, seen changing his clothes and if a body is found it would show second bang on the head killed him and approx time of death which would rule cain out and point to pete! But i can see this being dragged on and everyone believing cain is responsible causing him probs with moira and to go off the rails
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has posted a video apologising for having to hide his departure from viewers, after tonight's shocking deaths in the soap.
His character Ross Barton was killed accidentally by his brother and love rival Pete in the wake of the helicopter crash that destroyed Pete and Debbie Dingle's wedding reception.
Starting off by sobbing, Parr said: "I'm sorry that I've had to keep this one a secret from you guys!
"Thank you so much for all your support over the last couple of years.
"I've had so much fun playing Ross. Thank you, keep watching the show, stay tuned and it's goodbye from me!"
If you missed Ross's death or just want to watch it again, hit play below to see how Pete was pushed too far and killed his brother:
As seen above, Val Pollard was the third resident to die following the helicopter crash, after she was trapped in the mirror maze.
Actress Charlie Hardwick has also spoken out on her departure, saying she "knew [she] had to go".

I would think he is dead and will not come back from his shallow grave ...
Ross is not dead he will come back to get revenge. The two actresses both had exit interviews in a garden. I suspect a twist is going to happen.
I really hope that you are all right about ross and he's not dead.. He better not be!
He is dead!
Emmerdale kills off a Barton as Ross and Pete's feud leads to tragedy
It's no more Mr Nice Guy for Emmerdale's Pete Barton in a storyline twist that few fans will have seen coming.
Pete accidentally killed his bad boy brother Ross in Thursday night's explosive double bill (August 6) as their mutual animosity over Debbie Dingle took a deadly turn.
The Barton brothers' big showdown took place after they both found themselves at Debbie's hospital bedside following the helicopter crash in the village.
With Pete still furious over his brother's affair with Debbie, they clashed bitterly and had to be removed from the building by hospital security.
Once outside, Ross goaded Pete into giving him a vicious beating - but the clash went badly wrong when Ross suffered a nasty blow to the head.
When Pete realised that Ross was dead, he struggled to comprehend what he had done and was visibly sickened as he had to conceal his sibling's body in the woods.
Actor Michael Parr arrived on screen as Ross in July 2013, although his character's identity and status as a show regular wasn't revealed until October that year.
Coincidentally, Parr turned 29 today and has the rare honour of being killed off on his birthday.
From Digital Spy
I won't quite believe it until the body is found. If there was going to be a twist, any information that Digital Spy or any other source had on it would be embargoed until after the relevant episode(s) aired.
I think those 'spoilers' don't necessarily tell anything-there could still be a twist in store, at least I hope so.
But-if Ross IS gone :( , I really hope that both Cain and Pete-and Debbie, will have some bad times ahead! I just think it's all so similar to Chas/Carl/Cameron triangle just like someone said above. Bit boring? ..Pete 'killed' his brother accidentally-yes, but hiding his body made him criminal.
What does it mean then when previously Anthony(who plays Pete) said in some interview, that there's darker times ahead for Pete in the autumn when he goes after those who have treated him bad..?
I must give some credit to Anthony on this one-he played that sickening feeling of guilt really well. Made me cry-mainly because of Ross, but felt sorry for Pete too..I just remembered while watching that Pete saved Ross's life as a small boy, and now ended up 'killing' him himself.
If I remember right, Cameron killed people 'accidentally' too..and so does Robert. Bit unimaginative..
And then we still have someone like Adam, and loads of oldies..sorry. They really should have killed off Adam..Wouldn't mind Moira going as well. I rather had seen Debbie(critizism to make up department or to actress herself-how come she had perfect make up on when she woke up in hospital??) or Cain go than Ross.
Attraction in Michael Parr as Ross was(is) that he's not only good looking, but a damn talented actor and his character is this misunderstood soul, who is all softy inside but so unpredictable and plays it cool outside. So much like Cain. I still hate the fact that they had to kill Donna. Him and Donna would have been a good couple. Interesting too- a cop and a criminal :D !
I must say I have not much interest watching Emmerdale if it's confirmed that Ross is dead and so many other insignificant characters are left unharmed. Too many survived the crash, not realistic either. Too much hype about the thing..bit disappointed I must say.

I didnt want Ross to be killed but knew
it was a possiblity and would have
accepted it if done believably.
This has to be the most inept soap
murder I can think of.
See if any developments tonight or
early next week . But I think any
" revenge/ return " will be weeks/months
down the line probably when they
want to write Pete character out.
As a very long time ED viewer - very
disappointed by such dross(no pun
intended)
Dupl
Looking on emmerdale website. Still just vids of ruby and val actors. Nothing on Michael Parr (Ross) on there still which leads me to think he is taking time out and returns at some point later for revenge. Def shocked if this was his final scene as no Ed official confirmation and not a fitting exit for a much appreciated chatacter. Even Michaels vid about leaving appears tongue in cheek. Until Ed do a leaving vid thing on him I won't be convinced.
If Michael Parr was leaving for good, they should have had a death that was certain, because all the speculation will continue now until someone says something - unless his body will be identified later for the purpose of another storyline.
I would love him to return later and I find it bizarre that an actor who spent years doing second jobs and almost giving up the industry would turn his back on a job like ED within the space of two years. I also find it odd that Parr removed all ED references from his twitter header within minutes of the first episode finishing. Either it's all a big PR ruse, or Mike's very happy to get the hell out of the village for good.
They also spent so much time and energy bringing in a mother for the Barton boys only to have one of the kids killed off :thumbsdow
Either way, it's been a cracking week for ED.:clap:
.
And-in the end of the day, it's all about money. Especially with young actors.
If he's got another job, Emmerdale should have paid him more. He's too good to let go.
Fingers crossed for that twist !

There is no way Ross is dead. They have left it deliberately open to the possibility he is alive e.g Pete not burying him in the ground, just placed foliage over him. Perfectly set up for todays episode to reveal his empty "grave" and for him, in a few weeks or months to return.
I don't believe they will kill off one of their most popular characters like that.
The poor response of the emergency services amazed me. The pilot had made a mayday call that he was going down so that should have triggered some reaction. The locals were able to rescue Debbeh take her to Hotton General have her admitted and connected up to life support long before the first emergency vehicle had arrived in the village. On other occasions when the police are called for some minor infringement they arrive in minutes. Bad!!!
also ross ran to the village and then was at the hospital too
This reminds me of a certain fan of Neighbours not accepting that Kate Ramsey got shot and died (no blood, no Ambulance in short time).. She is not in witness protection and I don´t believe Ross will return ...
and if the mirror/glass fell on Val how come she came out with no blood seeping?
I thought she was covered when she was brought out ...Quote:

Loads of crazy women out there too absolutely stalking him..! Mad..
I for one have always liked Ross because he's bit damaged and that makes him interesting.. the same as Cain, Debbie, Kerry when she first came to ED.
I'm happily married woman, but yes-he's nice to look at too ;)

she was covered in a bodybag, did the glass land on her neck or stomach, curious about that was she halved by the glass :p sorry all if that upsets and disgustsQuote:

Wrong person resurrected. Val became a shadow of her former self as a character and it would have been more feasible for Ross to turn out to be alive.
val is dead eric having a visionQuote:

I think it could feasibly be worked so that Val is not dead if Charlie Hardwick ever wanted to return. Quite a lot of time was skipped in the episode (Cain being with the van and then in the hospital in almost the next scene.) Time could have been skipped so that Val left, alone.
I hope Mathew Bose (Paul Lambert actor) was bluffing on Twitter. It sounds like he won't be returning for the funeral episodes and that'll be particularly poor seeing as he returned earlier this year.
When did Alicia get back?
No more on Ross :wall: the is he or isn't he alive will continue :p
Huh?? A chard was threatening to come down for quite a while, right above Val .. she was watching it and in the end realised she would not survive, told Diane should get out first, hence Val safed Diane´s life and Val told the chard to do its worse as it came down ...Val will never return, nor will RossQuote:

Soaps have to.wring ever ounce out of

Pete is supposedly feeling guilt - that would
stop if Ross turned up.So.that will go on for
some time.
Emmas anger at Debbie and what she does
about that.
Debbies maternity break and giving her a story
to cover that.
Cain being suspected and the effect on him
and others.
So if Ross turns up.either as a body or alive
would cut short the drama.
Id say several months either way.
Its the way the storys been acted / written
that makes me think Ross is alive - time
will tell or it may remain unsolved for decades
like other stories have done!
