Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

4. Ross needs cash after Charity blackmails him
Chas has Ross over a barrel when she tells him that she knows he shot Robert. Her demands? £50,000 in cash. Hence a desperate Ross heading into town in disguise with baby Moses to fleece a local jeweller's. When Charity arrives just as he's exiting the establishment, will she end up being his saviour? Certainly, by the end of the week, Charity is trying to get Ross on side as she faces financial pressure of her own, but will he be tempted by her dodgy business offer?

Mike Parr warns “Charity has ultimate control over Ross”

Things are going to get very dark between Ross Barton and Charity Dingle in next week’s Emmerdale as she sticks the knife in. The villager has only just returned from prison but her stint behind bars hasn’t done anything to dampen her dodgy, criminal spirit. She starts blackmailing Emma Barton after finding out what she did to Noah, and then turns her attention on Ross.
Michael Parr, who plays Ross, explained: “Ross walks in on Emma and Charity having a conversation and being the dark characters that they are he realises something is going on.
“He leans on Emma to get information and she eventually cracks and tells Ross about Charity’s blackmailing.
“He’s not surprised by either of them, Emma’s done some shady things in the past with Noah, he’s shocked at home stupid that could have been.
“But then with Charity, he’s not surprised that she’s manipulating everybody. Ross grabs her and pins her against the wall where she plays her ace card, that she knows he shot Robert.
“It’s not a shock, it’s just frustrating for Ross because he’s trying to walk away from that, he did it when he was in a dark place and it’s being used against him.
“Charity has ultimate control over Ross and can get him to do pretty much anything that she wants, she’s the boss over him."
It turns out that what Charity wants is money. So she demands that he raids the local jewellery store to get his hands on diamonds for her to sell off.
But the raid might not go quite to plan as Michael added: “Ross is being held back on this raid because he has precious cargo with him in the form of his little boy.
“He doesn’t want to take Moses with him but no one will look after him and he’s in desperate need to get this cash for Charity.
“So him and Moses become partners in crime. As with Ross things don’t go smoothly but Charity steps in and helps him get away with it.”
Asked if he likes the fact Ross has returned to his criminal ways, Michael said: “Yeah, it was nice for him to settle down for a little bit but I think the audience know that didn’t suit him.
“So as long as he keeps being a good father then I like Ross being a naughty boy.”

Yeah the only thing I can think of is Ross and Charity believe nothing will happen to Debbie but even then Pete warned Ross Debbie would get in trouble before she provided an alibi for Ross.

Emmerdale: Michael Parr on Ross and Charity's future - "They'd have sex just to annoy Cain!"
"There's obviously some chemistry between them," adds the actor

Charity Dingle is to blackmail Ross Barton into fleecing a high-class jewellers in next week's Emmerdale - and actor Michael Parr is enjoying seeing Ross revert to his bad boy ways.

"Charity and Ross work well together and there's a lot of money to be made and a lot of trouble to be caused," says the soap star. "For the audience, it'd be much better to see them together."

Upcoming episodes of the ITV soap will see Charity blackmail Ross for £50,000 after dropping the bombshell that she knows about him shooting Robert.

True to form, Ross turns to crime as a way of getting himself out of the mess. "He has to do whatever Charity says," Parr insists. "She's the boss of him at the moment. He needs to raise a large amount of cash and is there anything more valuable in this world than diamonds? So Ross ends up robbing a very fancy jewellery shop."

But Ross isn't expecting his blackmailer to turn criminal cohort when Charity steps in to help him get away with his heist. And pretty soon, Charity is spying an opportunity for a more permanent business arrangement with Ross.

But could the two soon be mixing business with pleasure? "I don't know. There's obviously some chemistry between them. They've been there before and they'd probably have sex just to annoy Cain! We'll have to wait and see where that one goes."

And is Parr happy to see Ross walking a dangerous path again? After all, he was starting to become a responsible father figure after bonding with his and Charity's son Moses. "Well, it was nice to have him settle down and do the family thing. But the audience knew it didn't really suit him. So as long as he keeps being a good father, I like Ross being the naughty boy!"

I'm really "Urrrrr"-+++++ on the "silver fox" look for that very special guy.

For me, this is just another joke storyline for that very special guy.

Plus, of course, that very special guy takes baby Moses with him as his accomplice for his big diamond heist.

Did anyone else notice how that very special guy and "this rich businessman provider" resembles Edward with his Pretty Woman?

You know, there is really no real need to watch any movies nowadays as Emmerdale seems to set up soap-based remakes for everyone to see away from box-office sooner or later from 7pm on ITV. Haha!

What really gets me right now is how the actor gives such a smart interview and then threw in the grenade that Charity and Ross may be an item... Much history shows that what the actor says is usually the opposite of what he means. So, my conclusion for now is that Charity really does really (mis)use this guy but there is really nothing maybe that follows on any emotional level beyond teasing? (Charity is my totally now DevilGirl for me, of course, whereas Ross remains so... numpty! and just another poor sap fool who provides money and things to some woman. So what, that's usual life for many guys, just isn't it? Haha!)

Ross, really listen to me! You are so rubbish and a complete misfit on Emmerdale! Haha! You are truly my fave tragic hero right now. You are so totally dislikeable and unadmirable and have no endearing or redeemable qualities at all. You really haven't been yourself since you came back "from the dead" in August 2015. I really don't get why you hang around Emmerdale when there are great places for girls and fun around Magaluf and Ibiza and elsewhere. You could have such a better life elsewhere, believe me!

Signed:

Your guardian angel (I really try but you're such an impossible and naughty...)

It is silly because Charity will know that Debbie will be brought into it and I'm pretty sure Cain would have something to say. It's just all a plot to get them back working together. I doubt she would actually go to the police about the shooting. She would lose out of it too

I don't think Charity would go to the police, it's not really an option it's not the Dingle way generally & she would get Debbie into trouble if she placed doubt over her alibi she gave Ross.

Charity (and Cain as well) like the fact they have Ross backed into a corner primed for blackmail for whatever purposes they want but what she could do is reveal the truth to the Sugden's if Victoria especially found out all hell would break loose she's a very moral person and how would Ross' family react to hearing he tried to get Pete murdered & yet sat there while Pete got banged up

& the more of these crimes Ross commits the more they hold over his head. Eventually things will come to ahead you have to think, I can imagine Charity & Cain joining forces against Ross if he retaliates or gets close to Debbie's whereabouts.

In the spoilers it says Charity and Ross call Debbie so that won't work.

Yeah. When it gets shown I will probably post my views to the show more publicly if it's not very consistent.

Nothing really new here but Michael Parr shows a lot of admiration for Emma which i think is nice.

Emmerdale’s Charity blackmails Ross
Charity Dingle is up to her old tricks again on Emmerdale when she blackmails Ross Barton over shooting Robert Sugden.

The village bad girl wastes no time in putting her money making schemes into action when she is released from prison, and one of those schemes is to first blackmail Emma Barton follow her recent stunt with Charity’s son Noah.

When Ross discovers that Charity is blackmailing his mother he immediately leaps to her defence, but he is in for a shock when Charity reveals she’s got something on him too.

Actor Michael Parr, who plays new dad Ross, explained: “Charity plays her ace card and her ace card is she knows Ross shot Robert. Charity is always good at finding out things about people so she can use it against them.”

Charity tells Ross that in exchange for her silence, she wants £50,000 – and the only way Ross can think to get the money is to steal diamonds from a jewellery shop.

“It’s very frustrating for Ross because he is trying to walk away from that,” said Parr. “He (shot Robert) when he was in a dark place and it keeps being used against him.

“Charity now has ultimate control over Ross and can pretty much get him to do whatever she wants.”

Donning a disguise, Ross is set to commit the crime and get Charity’s money, but he runs into a small problem – he can’t get anyone to look after their son Moses.

Parr continued: “He is being held back a little on this job because he has very precious cargo with him in the form of his little boy. He doesn’t want to take Moses with him, but unfortunately no one is willing to look after him and he is in desperate need to find this cash.

“So he and Moses become partners in crime,” he joked.

And while Ross’ great heist doesn’t quite go to plan, Charity arrives at the last minute to help him pull it off – is this the beginning of a new venture for the pair?

“I think they make a good partnership,” said Parr. “Obviously there has been a bit of a spark there between them in the past, but I think that’s kind of gone away.

“I think there’s lots of money to be made and lots of trouble to be caused, for the audience it will be much better to see them together.

“It was nice to have Ross settle down for a bit, but I think, for the audience, it didn’t really suit him. So as long as he keeps being a good father, I like Ross being the naughty boy.”

On actress Emma Atkins returning to her role as Charity, Parr added: “She is lots of fun – she is just a laugh on set, but then when the cameras start rolling, because she is so lovely it is almost surreal to watch her become this evil and twisted character.

“Every scene with her is an acting masterclass so I’m very happy that I’ve been paired up with her.”

Hmmm. I really thought that just about everyone watching Emmerdale was meant to really hate Ross Barton for one reason or many other ones?

I really like to see everything Ross tries to do. Ross is really that very special guy for me.

Ross was great tonight! Loved how he interacted with a lot characters - Finn, Moira and Charity.

Episode one showed a great brotherly relationship between him and Finn - hope we get more of that.

Episode two showed Ross a protective father when it came to warning Charity he won't give Moses up easily.

glad Ross action is picking up but I was so annoyed tonight that Emma and James suggesting they want to raise Moses! They need to persuade Ross to continue growing as a dad.

I think James and Emma need to be harder on Ross. Although we are getting mixed messages one minute he is stepping up the next he thinks they should raise him. I agree that Ross and Charity are bad news but how is he supposed to step up if he has him mum and dad doing it all for him. And are we supposed to forget what Emma did when Ross was a baby. I thought James would have been more pushy seeing as he said not long ago his time for raising babies passed. And if Ross ever wants to have Debbie I doubt she would be pleased seeing as she has her own kids and would come as a package

I agree. The whole reason Ross went back to get Moses from Moira is in case Debbie comes back. Maybe, Ross at the moment thinks Debbie's not coming back!?
