Emmerdale Spoilers 24th - 28th August 2015

Yes - it was hard enough to watch it once Cameron digging out Alex's body- don't want to see it again.

And yes-I haven't lost my faith that Ross is alive yet. ;)

Maybe it's like the film Misery where some weirdo has found him and taken him back to their house in the woods to nurse him back to health:D

I dont know if that will happen but at least
its a new train of thought on the matter!
thankyou

I can't get over how much of a fool Pete would look if Ross reappeared out of the blue saying "hey bro, not dead, but you'll wish you were soon enough", he's going around like a hen on one leg saying "i've killed Ross". Pete just seems too dim to me to know someone's truly dead.
I am dying to know how they're writing Charley Webb out on maternity, i like to think it involves Ross, but then she'll be out for 6 months-a year, so it'll need to be something that would keep Debbie out of the village that length of time

I think if Ross is alive somehow-which I hope he is-he can't possibly be in very good condition..He will most likely be found in some hospital anyway, at least he should-it was an awful injury on his head.

Many thanks for this question, I'm really glad you brought this up as it has brought a number of things to light for me this morning. I just fast-forwarded through the episode from Wednesday August 5th and played it at normal speed to watch Pete put injured Debbie into a large greyish 4-door hatch-back (possibly a VW) 4x4-type car with a nearly vertical flat hatch and outside handrails on top along the edges of the roof and registration number something like QW14 MHJ?. This had been driven by Rhona to outside The Woolpack (so Rhona's car?). It is unclear who drove to the hospital in this car, it could have Rhona driving with Pete in the passenger seat, or Pete driving? At this time, Ross was standing on the road at the top of the hill watching them. The car sped off in the other direction to hospital. After Ruby's death scene the action continues with Pete bursting into the hospital carrying Debbie in his arms and he lays her down into the A&E reception area. Then the camera pans to the entrance door and Ross is already standing there looking on and asks Pete \\\\\\\\\"Is she dead\\\\\\\\\". End of episode.

So Ross must have driven to the hospital in his own car. I can't remember off-hand what his usual car is, however, but I seem to vaguely remember from previous episodes at Debbie's garage it could be something dark and sporty?

In the second Thursday August 6th episode, Pete is in the woods with unconscious/'dead' Ross inside the boot of a dark (grey?) low-height 2-door(?) hatch-back VW car with a more sloping hatch and no handrails along the top, so Ross was definitely in the boot of a different car to the one that took Debbie and Pete to the hospital. I'm now thinking that Pete took Ross's body to the woods in Ross' own car?. This definitely needs more study. If this was indeed Ross's car, maybe Pete drove it from the woods and back to the station and abandoned it there, then got a taxi or walked to the hospital. If this happened, then Ross wouldn't know this and would still think it was at the hospital. He also wouldn't have the keys for it anyway so it would stay there waiting to be impounded for having no parking ticket. I think somewhere in someone's script it said Pete was missing from the hospital for about 2 hours. Cain's script? Maybe I could check when I've got more time.

Here are some photos from the episodes shown on August 5th-6th.

As the large car drives away, Pete is nowhere to be seen. Also note low dark sporty car on left of photo.

The photo shows the low sporty dark VW car in the front of the line of 3 parked cars. This was just down the hill from where Ross was standing, and would take him around 10 seconds to run to. After Pete places Debbie in the car, it is unclear what he does next. The large car drives off forwards, Cain runs off to the right to go and look for Kyle in the village hall, and there is no-one else to be seen around the parked cars, not even inside the low black sporty car. So it looks as Pete has gone to the hospital with Debbie in the large car, and he is either in the passenger seat wth Rhona driving or Pete is driving. At the hospital, Pete carries Debbie into A&E, so this implies that he was in the same car as her to get to the hospital, just as you would expect him to do. This means that Ross must have driven the sporty dark car towards the hospital. He must have parked at the hospital, this would get him into A&E asap, and would mean that when Pete had 'killed' Ross, he could take Ross' car keys out of Ross' pocket, go and get the car and bring it around to put Ross in the boot.

When Pete opens the boot of the sporty car, a close-up shot of Ross inside it shows that the car paint colour is graphite grey, although the car seems to be black from a distance.

Ross' car is impounded at the station car park in due course (within 1-2 days?). Whether this is a red herring or not and is a different car we may not find out. But if the impounded car is the dark sporty one, then Pete must have left it at the station himself and got back to the hospital by walking or using a taxi, as Ross wouldn't know where it was by then and wouldn't have the keys for it as Pete presumably would have left the car locked and put the keys in a bin?

He used to drive a black sporty car but seem to remember him selling it after that fighting stuff. Not sure the one above is his most recent car or not

OK, here's a photo of Debbie's and Ross' cars in the linked video from the July 13th episode.

These cars are obviously different to the dark sporty car seen in the Thursday August 6th 8pm episode. Maybe the silver car Ross is driving on July 13th is one being repaired at Debbie's garage, or maybe it was his own but he replaced it during the 3 weeks to August 6th with the dark sporty one? There are a couple of sources for Ross to get money during the 3 weeks here. First off, he used Carly to steal Jimmy's van on July 13th, before selling the van in a dodgy deal outside Emmerdale and then giving Carly cash (to help buy Bob's cafe) and Charlie cash (to pay off his debts to him) and he may have had some cash left over for himself? Second off, Ross mugged Robert in his car at the roadworks traffic lights in the July 29th episode and got his man-bag containing the laptop and memory stick with the photos on it for Chrissie (and for Moira too eventually over his deal with Charity about splitting up Moira and Cain) and presumably his wallet/money/etc inside? So, Ross could have used any spare cash from these or any other dodgy deals like this to buy a dark sporty car before we see it parked in the village on August 5th.

I don't know what car Pete drives but I expect it's something boring and ordinary, and think that the dark sporty car would most likely be too fast, flash and expensive for Pete but would suitable for someone daring with dodgy money like Ross.

I was looking at parts of the Wednesday 5th episode earlier and spotted something very interesting.

After the helicopter has crashed into the village hall, Joanie is laying on the grass outside under a tree by the merry-go-round. Aaron is there looking at her, trying to find a pulse in neck. He then shouts to Emma who is nearby.

Aaron:
"Emma, I can't find a pulse."

Emma comes across and kneels down.

Emma:
"Joanie, Joanie." (Feels neck with fingers, listens and feels for breath coming from Joanie's nose)
"It's weak but it's there."

I suspect that this is a massive clue and a lead-up to what happens later at the hospital with Pete and Ross, as the suggestion is that Aaron couldn't find a weak pulse for Joanie in the village but a trained nurse like Emma could.

During the Thursday August 6th 7pm episode, Pete (who is a farmhand but not medically trained as far as I know) tries to feel for a neck pulse for Ross but couldn't find one. He didn't perform any other checks, however, and he was also likely to be angry, in shock, frightened and not thinking properly when he concluded that Ross was dead.

So the implication is that Ross could have had a weak pulse after the fight at the hospital but Pete wasn't able to find it and Ross was alive then.
