Michael Parr is still filming, he tweeted today a picture of him with an ITV cupcake celebrating it's birthday!

Unless he's doing another show for ITV!?

He's set to return to ED soon, but I'm wondering, is he really the dad? We know what Charity is like, she will do anything to get her own way, even if it means messing with Moses' life. I hope he is the dad because if he isn't, it'll end up being Declan, who isn't returning any time soon-potential storylines out of the window. Plus, that'd be 2 storylines involving a fake paternity running at the same time (Kirin and Johnny), bit over the top.
What do you think?

There is probably always a chance they could decide to take that route. Would seem a little strange having the who's the daddy story though and the big build up and then just doing it all again if Ross isn't the dad. If Charity was lying then you would think she would trap someone who would be worth it for her. Someone with a load of cash. What does she get from saying Ross is the dad? I hope for Moses sake and Ross' that he is. We don't need to do this all over again.

Charity reacted badly when Debbie told her about the affair with Ross, so she could have tried to use Moses to make him back of, but she also could've had that reaction because she was disgusted by the fact she was carrying the baby of her daughters, fiancés, brother who her daughter happened to be sleeping with (that took a few time to get right!).

I just can't shake of the fact that a DNA test was never done, we don't know exactly how many men Charity was sleeping with around November 2014. If I was Ross I've gotten a DNA test before doing anything else.

On balance, I think yes, Ross is the father.

Very few paternities in are set in stone these days (see Adam Barton!), and with Ross still alive, they don't need Moses to be his for Ross to live on. But, as well as there being another paternity story ongoing, if it happened, it would cause James to go from two grandchildren to none. This again seems repetitive, although I think it was mentioned that Emma would go a bit more crazy in an upcoming storyline, so perhaps. She does seem to have bonded with Moses more so than anyone else.

If Charity was using Moses to split Debbie and Ross up, I think she'd have been a bit more forthcoming with his paternity. I'd go with he is Ross's and Charity was embarrassed.

I wouldn't be surprised if the issue of Moses's paternity came up again, but I could see Charity claiming he was actually Cain's in her effort to split Moira and Cain up. They could do a storyline with Emma and one with Charity/Cain/Moira without going the repetitive route if Moses remained Ross's.

As you say, Declan isn't likely to return and I think it's a waste of time having one of the child's parents off screen. For that reason I would rule out some random. Cain has Kyle still to bond with; Megan a storyline with Jai/baby rather than needing a piece of Declan to fight for.

Good points. I actually like the idea of Charity pretending Moses is Cain's and then it is revealed that Ross is actually the father.
