Debbie wanted any excuse to get rid of Pete and him confessing about Ross was her opportunity instead she should have been honest and not married PeteQuote:

Ross, Pete and Andy do not have any clear future in Emmerdale right now. Pete and Andy could end up in jail, as could Ross, but Ross seems to be the outsider again here. Ross presently does not seem to have any paid job, other than maybe sick pay from Debbie's garage business, and is presently living rent-free(?) at Debbie's house at Mulberry Cottage. But what happens to Ross when Debbie leaves Emmerdale, as we know she is going to do around December 2015? Ross seems to have no friends in Emmerdale right now and this is before the news (so future spoilers say) that other viillagers find out that Andy was involved in Robert's shooting and maybe that Ross was the actual shooter? Let's face it, Emmerdale is such a close cul-de-sac community that nothing usually remains secret for very long and so, on this basis, Ross must "face-the-music" for his actions in due course, hopefully sooner rather than later!
I really do see a disastrous future for "present" Ross in Emmerdale village.
1) Ross is now a complete outsider. He has no friends, stable job or income or real future there.
2) His personality is completely unsuitable to be a "family man". Debbie's kids hate him for a start and Ross is so totally rootless and immature for now.
3) What Ross really seems to want is for Debbie to be his "gangster's moll" without any responsibilities but Debbie is no longer of such a young age to be this, now has kids to care for and is far more emotionally mature than Ross, so Debbie and Ross are, I reckon, completely mis-matched at this time of their lives.
4) I think that Ross's latest actions (shooting Robert and trying twice to murder Pete over about the last two months) are going to soon catch up with him in the very near future. Spoiler photos show that Cain gets "up close and personal" soon, either before or after Debbie leaves Emmerdale (in December 2015). Surely Debbie's close family are going to want revenge then on anyone deemed to have caused Debbie to leave? I really do think that there is shortly going to be an uprising of alpha-male types for a village posse in Emmerdale (maybe made up of Cain/Andy/Aaron/Paddy/David/others) to "sort" Ross out, once and for all. Ironically, maybe Pete stays out of this though as the forgiving and good guy brother? Maybe this just means that Ross "reforms" and stays in Emmerdale, or that he leaves Emmerdale to live somewhere else, or that he ends up in Emmerdale graveyard?

Cain gets up close and personal with Ross real soon
Yesterday's Monday Emmerdale episode showed Ross being left alone to "hold the baby" (Moses) after Pete leaves the village for a while. (Question: Has Charity told the truth that Ross is the father of Moses?) This baby-sittiing role is not really the life that Ross wants, I reckon, and that reality will set in very soon for him that this is all Debbie has to offer for him in Emmerdale long-term. In fact, yesterday's episode for him was just Emmerdullsville ZZZzzz... But just what else does Ross expect from Debbie right now? Ross is going to want again, I have no doubts about that. As I wrote above, Debbie has moved on emotionally and Ross has simply fallen behind and wants a nostalgic energetic fast life which is long gone and was available once when Debbie was a "wild child". Tonight's Tuesday Emmerdale episode will show how Ross bursts into the pub, hears Nikhil telling off guilty Debbie for her being involved with Gennie's death, and how Ross punches Nikhil on impulse because Ross completely does not know what he is doing or what part Debbie played in bringing about Gennie's death. David steps in to pull Ross off Nikhil but now Nikhil is yet another Emmerdaler that Ross doesn't relate to.
I suspect that this pub scene between Ross and Nikhil and the spread of the "Andy setting Robert up to be shot" storyline amongst the villagers will lead to the formation of an eventual alpha-male Emmerdale village posse (made up of villagers such as Cain/Andy/Aaron/Adam/Pete/David/others) which will change Ross's life forever.
For now, Ross is a complete outsider in Emmerdale. His good looks no longer count for anything, and his past reactions and history since he returned to Emmerdale on Tuesday, 25th September after previously "dying" outside Hotten Hospital on 6th September have been totally OTT, done him no favours, been totally extreme and unnecessary and only been very damaging for his future in Emmerdale.
The change.org opinion poll about whether Ross should be returned to Emmerdale after "dying" raised less than 10,000 votes (actual vote count=9,147). However, this opinion poll was very seriously flawed:
1) One vote was allowed for each registered e-mail address, so this meant that the vote was open to abuse from any one person who used more than one personal email address;
2) There wasn't a "No" vote option. The opinion poll question was "Bring Back Ross Barton *Emmerdale*", so anyone who bothered to vote only had one choice, = "Yes"!
In the end, the total poll voter count was less than 10,000. As each Emmerdale episode is watched by about 5 million viewers (barb.co.uk, October 2015) then the poll was answered by up to 0.2% of single-voting Emmerdale viewers and the remaining 99.8%+ of Emmerdale viewers didn't take part. Maybe the poll wasn't well publicised? Maybe some viewers already knew that Michael Parr was still filming at Emmerdale studios when Ross was supposed to be dead, so this is why these viewers didn't bother voting as it was obvious that Ross wasn't dead? Maybe most viewers knew that it was a foregone conclusion either way, as the show is filmed about 6-8 weeks before being aired on TV and that any poll was pointless because the studio money was already spent by then and that storyline and filming of future episodes was already set in stone by the time that the poll was due to close? Or maybe most viewers didn't care about Ross and maybe wanted Ross dead and gone anyway? We will maybe never know clearly what the general Emmerdale viewing public thought at the time but one thing seems for sure and that is that Ross has been highly dislikeable since he returned to Emmerdale on Tuesday, 25th September, and that his good looks and appearance may not be enough to keep him in any future popularity competition?
We must all remember that Ross left us all in August 2015 under very different circumstances to how we see him now and when he won his recent Inside Soap awards in September 2015 for his previous Emmerdale acting work before the latest "darkest hours" for Ross on Emmerdale. Since Tuesday, 25th September, Ross has returned on TV to Emmerdale and been the root cause of the following storylines:
- Robert recovering in hospital from attempted murder by Ross and with Aaron in jail being blamed for it;
- Pete having survived two attempted murder scenes by Ross;
- Pete at the police station confessing to 'attempted murder' on Ross for his fight and apparent accident with Ross at the hospital;
- Andy and Robert about to be involved in a car crash soon because Robert finds out that Andy set up Robert's shooting (which Ross suggested to Andy as in 'Strangers on a Train');
- etc.
Is there any Emmerdale future for Ross right now? I am sure that the Emmerdale storyliners will tell us their answer to this question in a while real soon.
I do not see any future for the "present" Ross, so I reckon that either he changes soon to be a better guy or he is made to leave Emmerdale by the other villagers or through personal circumstances soon, one way or another.

He is back at the garage so he will have a job. Nothing has probably changed since before he went away. They will probably have to juggle with Moses and will probably do different shifts. Not sure how you know he is living rent free. That's an assumption but just the way it's an assumption that he is paying rent. we haven't been told either way
Ross has always been an outsider so that hasn't changed.
His personality isn't suited but that doesn't mean he can't try. which he is doing. Just now
That picture with Cain wasn't an actual spoiler or anything. Not saying it isn't a clue but it wasn't an actual what's coming up. It looks like a picture from when he attacked him on the wedding day
There is no evidence that it is going to catch up with him. usually it does but you are forgetting that he said himself that he thought his days were numbered but Kate gave him a foresight. Which suggests that he will get away with it. Until he decides to leave or when they decide Ross time is up. Again not everyone gets what is coming to them anyway.
Who knows if she told the truth but what would she gain from lying. Also if he isn't that will be better for Ross so I wouldn't see the point. I think the who shot Robert thing will be swept under carpet and be forgotten. Lol at the alpha male Posse. Why would they team up. Trust me they all have a reason to run to Ross when they need something doing so I don't see that happening at all. They all have their own problems/issues and secrets
Not sure why the petition means anything now. It got the publicity for the show and that was the point. doesn't matter how many people want him to stay or not it's all about the PR for emmerdale. More people talk about Ross that most of the other characters
He is still filming. In fact him and Danny Miller were filming something so he hasn't left yet. Which means that we have a few more weeks of him. Then we will see what happens. I don't think he's going anywhere yet and wont leave with Debbie. we don't know how she is leaving yet so. doesn't have to be Ross that is the reason. I know it's highly unlikely but something else could happen. There is time to change. He has a quiet couple of weeks coming up and by then people will have forgot most what went on. Like I said previously stories change constantly so there is no reason he wont
Michael Parr was away in America for 3 weeks not so long ago, as the post above said Ross has a quiet couple of weeks coming up, it looks like he'll only be getting a few background scenes. Rather than having Ross take a temporary exit for Mike's holiday, it looks like they'll just have him in the background, Mike probably filmed about 5 small scenes before he left that will air in the coming weeks. Mike has since returned from his holiday and it seems he is back working.
Thanks for info re petition!.Telly Watcher.
Ive always wondered what % of viewers
vote in polls held by tv mags etc for
Best Soap / Best actor / actress etc.
Ive never voted because you can only
vote for one of pre- seclected few!-
It might be rubbish - but there seems to
be a preconception that a higher % of
EE fans vote than say Corrie ones.
I did try to.find the info a couple of
times -but wasnt successful!
So a bit of mystery !!
Yes, Ross was shown with Debbie at the garage in the latest episode (Tuesday 3rd), delivering a blue Maserti car to a customer, so we know that he is now back in paid work again from then. Ross did go away for 3 weeks after Robert got shot on September 25th, when he was living in the Barton's house. Since returning from Magaluf, he has moved in with Debbie after she asked him to on Oct 29th. As Debbie is his employer and she asked him to move in, I thought it a reasonable assumption that she wouldn't necessarily ask him to pay rent there for now as she is paying him to work for her and making his stay rent-free would be another incentive for him to move in. My assumption, I agree.Quote:

I think any new photo will be embargoed at present but the photo shown on the @emmerdale twitter site is for illustrative purposes for now. The photo itself isn't from the new scenes, as you suggested. I've seen this shown in the Summer Fate Week episode shown 4th August when Cain offers Ross the fake passport but then Cain kidnaps Ross instead and leaves him tied up in the back of his van at the edge of the quarry before Cain gets back to the wedding ceremony.
I think the village posse is a real possibility, Cain is much more of a leader, older, more experienced in life and more of a "hardman" than Ross, and Cain definitely has an axe to grind with Ross and motive of getting Ross out of the way if it means that Debbie stays around and is happy and her kids are safe. Cain kidnapped Ross in August just before Pete and Debbie's wedding as he knew Ross would try to wreck it. Unfortunately, the kidnapping came too late as Ross had already sabotaged the reception disco music to play out his mobile phone recording of Debbie reminding Ross of the places where they'd had sex together previously.
As you say, there are photos around now of Aaron, Robert and Ross being filmed during scenes which will be shown around December, so all three of these characters are still working for Emmerdale right now and will be on TV during December.

It looks like Debbie leaves around the time of Charity's return. Anyone else get the feeling Charity and Ross will do something "naughty"? The thought of it makes me feel sick.
what was up with Debbie's attitude about Ross in Friday's episode!
Not happy about that!
