Then if it was his own choice, why don't they just clarify that once and for all that he's really gone for good??! Why to just keep people speculating? Not fair for anyone, not the least for Mike Parr himself.

Regarding emmerdale looking stupid if they 'bring him back '. As they haven't clarified once more that he's dead, I still assume he hasn't left and there's no 'bringing back ' needed.

Very boring episode again - that's why I have all this time to browse the board... zzzz

I thought he clarified that he had gone himself? Sounded pretty clear to me. Perhaps they will find his body next week?

I met someone at a class tonight who read in the weekend paper mags Tha Mike wanted to try new things and that he wants to get rid of the beard and the slicked back greasy hair

Sounds like he's gone for his own reasons. Good luck to him!

Emmerdale: Val & Ross bite the dust in soap shock

TWO soap favourites became shock casualties of the Emmerdale helicopter crash last night.

Outrageous drama queen and HIV sufferer Val Pollard (Charlie Hardwick, 54) died after a shard of glass in the fairground’s mirror maze fell on her following the dramatic scenes.

And badboy Ross Barton (Michael Parr, 29) was beaten to a bloody pulp in a vicious attack by his brother Pete (Anthony Quinlan, 30) after he discovered he had been sleeping with his bride-to-be Debbie.

Both shockers had been kept a secret from TV fans in one of the soap’s most dramatic and explosive weeks.

Charlie, who has been on Emmerdale for 12 years and had been commuting from Newcastle to Leeds every week, admitted last night she had spent months wrestling with the decision to leave.

But she said: “I knew I had to go. I have to try to get a bit of my life back.

“I’ve had a suitcase at the end of my bed for 12 years. “I will miss Val and her outrageous behaviour.”

And Charlie revealed her HIV storyline had really played on her mind.

She said: “It was one of the highlights over the years.”

“I knew I had to go. I have to try to get a bit of my life back”

Meanwhile Michael, who played soap villain Ross, let slip earlier this week that he might be on his way out as he was keen to take on other acting roles.

He said he was desperate to change his look and get rid of Ross Barton’s slicked back hair and beard.

However, asked if this meant he was leaving, he teased: “You’ll have to wait and see.”

And of his badboy character, he added: “It’s been fun to play but it was always going to come to a head at some point.”

Emmerdale interview: Emma Barton’s devastated as police find a body
Gillian Kearney says she’s rocked by the discovery
Tuesday, 11th August 2015

How is Emma doing in the wake of the helicopter tragedy?
She’s not great. It’s been very upsetting, obviously the news of the affair during the wedding was awful too. Since then Ross has gone missing and Debbie’s in hospital. So Emma is beside herself with worry, she thinks Ross has run away because he’s upset. But she associates the news with the revelation of his affair with Debbie, she’s really worried about him.

Does she have any idea where he is?
None at all. She’s more concerned than James who keeps saying that he’s done this before. But her instinct is telling her that this feels different, I think it’s a mother’s intuition.

Why is she so angry when Debbie goes to the memorial?
She’s furious with Debbie because as far as she’s concerned Debbie has split her sons up. If you’ve got boys, I’ve got three brothers, and I can only imagine what would happen if one woman separated them. Sometimes the damage is irrevocable. So Emma associates Debbie with nothing but trouble for her family, so she’s just trying to keep the family together.

Debbie refuses to let Emma look after Moses, how does that make her feel?
It’s like adding insult to injury. There’s a scene between Emma and James where they are looking at photos of the wedding and she’s like, ‘Do you want these because I don’t want to be looking at Debbie’s face?’. As far as Emma’s concerned this is the woman that not only broke both her sons’ hearts but now she won’t let her see her own grandson. It’s Ross and her son that Debbie’s ruined things for.

How are things with James at the moment?
She’s got his support and they are very much a partnership at the moment. They are very happy, so fingers crossed!

What does she think when she finds Ross’ belongings like his phone and wallet?
She’s out of her mind worried. First the car turns up, it’s got his wallet with all his cash and cards inside, when she checks his bank account there’s no money that has been drawn out since the day he disappeared. So she thinks he’s dead, she thinks he’s met an untimely end.

Does she suspect that Debbie has something to do with it?
Yeah, she starts to think that she wouldn’t put it past her so decides she has to have a word with her. At first she goes round to cajole Debbie into saying something, she can see that Debbie’s hiding someone. Then Debbie slips over her own words and that’s when Emma realises it’s Cain. That’s when she just presumes that Cain has murdered Ross.

What does she do next?
She feels like she’s let Ross down enough and James is trying to tell her not to phone the police. But as far as she’s concerned, every day that goes by the clues are going to go missing and Cain’s going to get away with it. She thinks her son is probably dead and she wants to bring Cain to justice. Emma says she’s let Ross down enough in the past and she’s not going to do it again so she goes behind James’ back and calls the police. Finn backs her with that decision.

By the end of the week the police have found a body, how does Emma feel when she hears the news?
She’s absolutely overwhelmed by it. I was exhausted filming all this because it was just one thing after another. The police say they think the body is Ross so by the time she goes to see it and the pull the sheet back, it’s devastating.

Ah yes, that'll be the article from the paper she was talking about. I'm devastated, I loved Ross. I guess we can only look forward to Mike in new things now

[rossfan]

I still don't think Michael Parr has left.

Regards to what was said in that first article

"He said he was desperate to change his look and get rid of Ross Barton’s slicked back hair and beard."

That could be a request for Ross' appearence to just change a bit, which to be fair they did in the last few episodes. After Ross' jump into the water, his hair went curly.

However, asked if this meant he was leaving, he teased: “You’ll have to wait and see.”

This certainly doesn't confirm he has left

also

And of his badboy character, he added: “It’s been fun to play but it was always going to come to a head at some point.”

This bit could just simply mean Ross will re-evaluate his life and look to change for development.

None of what was written confirms he has left.

[Serena Williams]

We will find out next week whether Ross is really dead or not. I doubt it.

[Serena Williams]

Ah yes, that'll be the article from the paper she was talking about. I'm devastated, I loved Ross. I guess we can only look forward to Mike in new things now

I still so not believe Michael Parr quit I bet the body found is not Ross body. I feel.there is a twist coming on. We will find out the truth next week Friday.
