Emmerdale Spoilers 24th - 28th August 2015

[Telly Watcher]

Plus-Debbie wouldn't wait and let her dad take the blame, no way!

And very unlikely that James would protect Pete on this? Or is Pete still his golden boy - even after killing his brother??

I think Debbie would wait. I expect Cain would just be under suspicion whilst the police make further enquiries and wait for results from forensics. I think Debble would be very scared that Pete could kill her if she made the wrong move and went to the police so soon. You know how many bad boys she's had close to her in life (Cain, Ross, Cameron,...) and seen a lot of bad stuff over the years, so she's experienced enough to know to just get Pete to stay away from her for now.

I think James would protect Pete over this, for a while anyway. He is his eldest son (usually the golden boy, as you wrote, mariba) and wouldn't want to lose another of his sons, at least not in such a short space of time anyway. If you remember, it was Pete who saved James' life when Emma made the loaded pallet fall onto James and nearly killed him in January 2015, so I suppose James still owes Pete a big favour for saving his life. James may just wait for the police to prove that Pete was involved with Ross' death (IF he is dead, only one of several possible theories for now, of course) as I expect the Barton family (what remains of it) will stay silent about Pete, even though they disown him and presumably don't have him living or working at the farm for at least the time being. It was an accident initially during an angry fight, but the final kicking by Pete went beyond accident maybe and there may have been a murderous intent behind this even if Pete hadn't meant for this when the fight began?

[mariba]

Even worse than accidentally killing him+further kicking him, is that he was outside the hospital and could have easily called for help. But he didn't. That makes Pete a monster.

But-I don't like this theory. Ross HAS TO BE ALIVE!

Here is some more spoiler info which may be useful to help explain how the Emmerdale storyline might run for August 24th-28th when we get to see these episodes.

Michael Parr signed a new 1 year contract last year. Reportedly August. So yes it would be up now. And Seeing as he has left the show now the timing does sound about right. They wrapped the Summer Fate stuff early July. This would mean he still had a few weeks left in his contract? Now I'm not really sure how it all works. BUT he was still seen at the studios in these last few weeks. This is why people still think it doesn't add up. If they have Killed Ross then he wouldn't be needed at the studios as there would be nothing for him to film. Unless he isn't really dead comes back or is found. Has some pretty nasty injuries and then leaves the show.

Telly Watcher wrote yesterday on the Ross Barton thread:

Mike Parr joined Emmerdale as Ross during 2013 and appeared first on July 9th as an unknown criminal character when he car-jacked Laurel in town. This appearance was presumably a screen-test which he was successful in as he eventually became a regular Emmerdale character on October 24th. In this episode, he showed up at Butlers Farm with a gunshot wound from a dodgy deal which had backfired and which Cain, being smart, had previously turned down and given to him, saying it was an easy job. It was at the farm that Moira realised that he was her dead husbands's brother's son named Ross, so she allowed him to stay. The other Barton brothers moved into the farm afterwards.

It sounds like Mike Parr's initial regular Emmerdale contract ran to August 2014 and was renewed to expire by August 2015. This means that he may now be out of contract and free from Emmerdale.
>

I've thought further now on this and realised that the regular Emmerdale contracts for the other Bartons should also have expired around now, that's for James, Finn, Pete and Emma.

Anthony Quinlan (Pete) and Joe Gill (Finn) were announced as cast members on 5/11/13 and both appeared on TV during the episode for December 6th 2013.

Bill Ward (James) was announced as a cast member on 29/09/13 and appeared on TV during the episode for October 25th 2013.

Gillian Kearney (Emma) was announced as a cast member on 11/08/14 and appeared on TV during the episode for January 2nd 2015.

If their contracts were like Ross', and starting in August, then their regular contracts would have been due for renewal after 1 year and should also have expired around August 2015? Emma joined the Emmerdale cast around August 2014, so her 1 year contract should also have expired around August 2015?

This could mean that all of the Bartons may have completed filming now and are up for leaving Emmerdale when the episodes already filmed with them in get shown up to about October 2015? I wonder if this whole-family Barton clear-out is amongst what Kate Oates has planned as part of the 'cast cull' we've been told to expect in the news?

So what could happen by October 2015?

Maybe Pete gets written out by going to prison for a long time for murdering Ross?

Maybe James gets written out by being killed by 'dangerous' Emma?

Perhaps Emma kills James and herself at the same time or she goes to prison or just leaves Emmerdale?

Now that Val is gone and Finn no longer has a surrogate mother, maybe he is left as the surviving/free Barton member who leaves the village to go somewhere else by October 2015. He does have a university degree so I suppose he could finally use that and get a proper career somewhere else away from Emmerdale? Finn did plan to go to Tokyo for a new life during 2014 but didn't have the money to go, that's when he asked Declan for a job reference for another job somewhere (not sure where, UK?) but didn't get it because it was a poor reference.

All of this is hypothetical, of course, I'm only suggesting these things as there are completed filmed episodes waiting to be shown on TV up to October 2015 and a lot like this could happen in such a long time as this is soapland.

This contract issue for the Barton family could explain a lot about why the real Ross storyline could be that Ross has really been killed off by Pete and that Mike Parr has really left Emmerdale (to be followed by the other cast members of the Barton family?).

I'm not reading any more speculation.
I really don't care about their contracts-or even if Ross/Mike leaves/or has already left(as they are always filming few weeks ahead). The only thing that does matter to me, is that Ross would leave the village alive by his own choice, not in a box. That would leave the door open for him(maybe)to return one day. Or not. But would be more comforting to know that there's still that possibility.
Emmerdale village would be even more duller if Bartons disappeared too!

I must say Corrie is so much more enjoyable at the moment..

I don't believe that the body Will be Ross

[Perdita]

Emmerdale's Debbie Dingle will be left horrified later this month when her husband Pete Barton confesses to killing his brother Ross.

Fans were left stunned when Ross met an untimely end in a huge showdown with Pete (Anthony Quinlan) that went horribly wrong.

Upcoming episodes will see the rest of the Barton family become worried over Ross's disappearance, realising that all is not right.

Ross's mother Emma will lead the efforts to solve the mystery, which leads to the police agreeing to investigate.

As the Bartons prepare for the worst, the latest developments leave Pete crippled with fear as he knows the discovery of Ross's body will bring the police to his door.

With the net closing in, a panic-stricken Pete decides to tell Debbie (Charley Webb) everything and confesses to killing Ross, telling her that he suffered a serious head injury amid their fight.

Emmerdale: Secret's too much for Debs

PETE Barton admits killing his brother Ross – leaving his new wife Debbie terrified.

With the village still in shock after the helicopter crash, guilty Pete struggles to keep what he did a secret.

And with his mum Emma determined to track Ross down, poor Pete doesn’t know what to do. Emma realises something is wrong when she discovers her missing son’s phone and wallet. Suspecting Debbie has something to do with his disappearance she confronts her cheating daughter-in-law and demands answers.

Stressed-out Debbie goes to see her dad Cain who reveals he left Ross at the top of a cliff to stop him ruining her wedding.

She pleads with him to tell Emma what happened, not realising Pete is behind his disappearance.

Emma calls the police and is shocked when they arrive to tell her they’ve found a body and think it might be Ross.

An Emmerdale insider said “Pete is beside himself with guilt and worry”.

As Emma and former husband James go to identify the corpse, Pete breaks down and tells Debbie everything.

An Emmerdale insider said: “Debbie can’t believe what she is hearing. She went through so much at the hands of her serial killer ex-lover Cameron Murray and is terrified Pete is just like him.

“She didn’t realise what Cameron was like until it was too late.

“Pete is beside himself with guilt and worry and needed to tell someone. He is dreading his parents going to the morgue as he is convinced it will be Ross’ body lying there. Pete knows what he did and has to face up to it.”

"as he is convinced it will be Ross’ body lying there". Sounds like the body in the morgue isn't Ross?

I think Ross is dead though. If the body in the morgue isn't Ross we'll just be kept wondering after the episode on Monday 24th whether Ross did somehow survive and come out the woods alive. Keeps the viewing figures up to do this of course.

Emma calls the police on Friday 21st. It sounds as if they don't visit her first at the farm to record a description of Ross' clothes and appearance and get a photo of him to use. Instead, the police have already found a body by the time they arrive at the farm so they assume it's Ross as no-one else has presumably been reported as missing from Emmerdale. This would mean that the body at the mortuary could be anyone found anywhere in Emmerdale.

When James and Emma go to the mortuary on Monday 24th to check the body, it is still uncertain and unclear from the spoilers available for now whether it is Ross or not, but some spoilers hint that the body is not Ross, see spoilers below.

Debbie must tell James some or all of what Pete has just told her because other spoilers have said this.

Presumably, James will then tell Debbie about the body he and Emma have just seen in the mortuary.

If it's Ross, then the police should already suspect Cain because this is what Emma suspected from what Debbie told her earlier before Emma called the police.

If it isn't Ross (and this is what I think is now more likely because it seems as if the police weren't given a description and photo of Ross before they found the body), I expect that James and Debbie will put pressure on Pete to go to the woods with them to where Pete dumped Ross' body. When he goes (or when they go), then either 1) Ross is there dead and they all have an unburied body to deal with, or 2) there's no body there and they won't know if someone has found Ross dead or alive and taken him away, or 3) Ross regained consciousness after Pete left him for dead and Ross then left the woods by himself and disappeared.

When Pete/James/Debbie go to the woods, it will by then be about two weeks after the fight at the hospital, so this would be far too long for even a fit healthy person to survive without water, food and proper shelter alone in the woods, so it is not likely that they could find an injured Ross still there alive in the woods. He either has to be found dead there, or the dead body taken away, or Ross walked away/got rescued alive (with possible memory loss, turns up again one day in Emmerdale 2016?).

There hasn't been any news of Mike Parr (Ross) having a new contract with Emmerdale (present one expired around August 2015) and his Twitter post on August 14th states that he is starting a new job in London involving rehearsals. (I reckon that Mike Parr is unlikely to lie to his fans on Twitter or any other medium and he is more likely to remain silent about something confidential than to lie, so I think we can assume that the job in London is real, the question is how long is it for?)

Anthony Quinlan (Pete) has an existing Emmerdale contract which was announced on December 7th 2014 (for 1 year), so he could still be in Emmerdale TV episodes shown until about February 2016 even without a renewed contract from December 2015.
