If speculation is correct and Kate Oates takes Ross out with her, he'll be on screen until about February, since they film around 2 months ahead.

Unless they let him get away with attempted murder, I would have thought that he must leave at some point to go to jail

They usually make people pay in the end- in
soaps -so I would expect that to happen.
Except Pete tried to murder Ross first!!
So not sure where that leaves Soap morals
& Justice in this case?

Carl King got away with murder ... so justice is not always dished out in soaps

We've now had Ross and Andy play out Emmerdale's version of novellist Patricia Highsmith's "Strangers On A Train" plot for Robert's shooting during September 2015.
The plot of Patricia Highsmith's 1950 novel "Strangers On A Train" is as follows:
>
The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, a young tennis player and a charming psychopath. The psychopath suggests that because they each want to "get rid" of someone, they should "exchange" murders, and that way neither will get caught. The first murder is committed; then the psychopath tries to force the tennis player to complete the bargain.

Prince Charming? Ross? Come on! NOT! Haha!
Now we seem to have West Side Story coming up and Ross now seems to have a social disease. (You heard it here on soapboards first!)
Ross, take my 'brotherly' advice. When you're in a hole, STOP DIGGING!
I really never thought the day would come when I would be OK watching Pete on Emmerdale but wouldn't be OK watching Ross. Anyway, that day has come and passed now.
I reckon we're being set up to hate Ross over a very short space of time for some connected storyline involving Debbie.
Mike Parr sort of hinted in a recent Daily Express actor interview that "I'm a sociopath". Actor dreams.
So where is the Ross future going to go? I just wish I was an Emmerdale storyliner. I'm really sure I could bring some common sense and real life experience to the Emmerdale storyliner department.
Anyway, what could existing Emmerdale storyliners have thought up?
1) Maybe Andy gets really drunk in the Woolpack one night, blacks out and he tells all of his dark thoughts to other villagers about how Ross was the one who shot Robert (and other Ross history too that Andy knows about?)? The villagers then take matters into their own hands and Ross is a goner, one way or another?
2) Maybe Debbie becomes aware of Ross's previous actions, she leaves Emmerdale with some/all of her kids, as the Dingles think Debbie has lost contact with reality and so she realises that Ross is a complete nutcase and Cameron #2 impersonator?
3) Ross becomes a manipulative and jealous (violent?) boyfriend for Debbie, so she leaves with the kids, and maybe Cain kills Ross as he's hurt his 'little girl' so much.
#3 sounds good!

But somehow I was had.
Leapin' lizards! That's why I'm so bad!
DIESEL: (As Judge) Right!

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Parr hints that Ross Barton will leave Emmerdale with Debbie Dingle
EMMERDALE actor Michael Parr has hinted that his bad boy character Ross Barton might exit the show with former lover Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb).
By Sarah Buchanan & Adam Miller

UPDATED: 10:27, Tue, Oct 6, 2015
Soap fans will know that Debbie enjoyed a steamy sordid affair with her husband Pete's (Anthony Quinlan) brother Ross.
But now 29-year-old Michael has suggested that the pair could ride off into the sunset together.
Ross and Debbie's exit would coincide with 27-year-old actress Charley's maternity leave, as she is preparing to welcome her second child with fellow soap star Matthew Wolfenden in December.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk at tonight's Inside Soap Awards 2015, Michael said: "Well, Charley's got a bun in the oven so she’s got to leave the show at some point and I might be leaving with her."
The Emmerdale heartthrob was cagey about admitting whether he had signed up for another year in the Yorkshire Dales.
"I can't say whether I've got a new contract or not," he said.
Speaking about how he kept his character's "back from the dead" storyline under wraps, Michael said he had to wear a disguise to make sure eagle-eyed fans wouldn't rumble him.
"I'm a sociopath," Michael said. "I was sneaking out of work and there's two fans who are obsessed with the show and they're always outside.
"So I'd have to go in, get dressed into my normal clothes then put on a coat and a hood and it was boiling. I was sweating all the way home."
Meanwhile, later this month fans are set to find out who shot Robert Sugden in a special flashback episode.
Lots of viewers think that Ross could have pulled the trigger, and Michael admitted he thinks his alter-ego is capable of murder.
"Yeah definitely, I think he's probably got a bit of the killer instinct in him," he said, before adding: "But what motivation does have shooting Robert?"
"I think it was Edna Birch (Shirley Stelfox) personally," Michael joked.
"She's a bit of a thug, she’s got that crazy dog and you’ve seen the way she dresses in those bad**s clothes and she sells drugs."
But is there any change of Ross reforming his villainous ways?
"I hope not," confessed Michael. "Because I like driving the cars and chasing the girls. I've got the perfect job at the moment so I wouldn't want it to change."
