Ross soooooo isn't dead, he's a 9 lives guy known for disappearing, he'll creep out of that hole, slither off like a snake, all the while Pete's cracking up with guilt, bang, Ross comes strolling back into the village and Pete's suffering begins.
We're yet to discover what all the cloak and dagger stuff between Ross and Lawrence was all those months ago too, I think it's a case of 'watch this space'...

That's how I would have written it too..far more interesting.

The police are going to question Cain at the farm during the week August 17th-21st and say they have found a body. It seems too late for a body to have been found in the village hall (about 2 weeks will have passed since the helicopter crash) so presumably the body is Ross' in the woods?

I've heard that Mike Parr (Ross) may be going to act in America but this hasn't been widely publicised to date. His mother is American and he has dual UK/US nationality, although he was born in St Helens, Merseyside on August 6th 1986. He so far seems to have been killed on Emmerdale by Pete Barton during the episode dated August 6th 2015, his 29th birthday, but identification of the body is in the future right now.

Yeah I knew all that about Mike. Never know, if Ross is really dead, Mike can audition for his favourite show - Game of Thrones lol

I'm hoping that the body found in the woods, will still be someone else. That's why I'm begging Robert to get rid of Adam and fast!

Emmerdale is going to lose loads of fans/viewers if they have killed Ross. In that case, I don't think I bother watching it anymore this autumn. I'll be busy anyway-and if it's not worth my time, why would I?
It angers me, that good characters like Ross(?) and Val, even Ruby were killed off when there were so many others to get rid off, no bother. Plus that so many more should have died in that crash.
Michael Parr was(is)one of the best actors in Emmerdale-yes, I can imagine he may easily have something else lined up, but why to kill him off ? That's just a mad decision. He could have just gone away for time being.. And if he really is gone, I think Kate Oates should say something as this speculation is quite frustrating for everyone, and not fair for Emmerdale fans.

We don't know whether Michael Parr wanted to leave, though. A character like that is only realistically going to end up one way when the actor chooses to call it a day.

No excuses for killing Ross and keeping Adam when it was supposed to be a clear out, though.

[Telly Watcher]

The identity of the body is going to be interesting. It could still be anyone found anywhere in Emmerdale.

The storylines and filming for Emmerdale are completed about 3 months or so before we see the episodes on TV.

It is too late for anyone to change anything now, everything is already decided and filmed and lined up to show on TV like clockwork.

We'll just have wait and see what was decided and how things get played out in the bigger long-term picture of Emmerdale.

I don't think there will be any detailed explanations about the future from anyone making Emmerdale. Surprise and secrecy are what keep the viewers watching week-in, week-out.

It's fun guessing what could happen next though!
