Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

I must say I don't like Ross as a character as much as I used to. That was before he got obsessed with Debbie.
Debbie and Pete should have stayed together-I don't understand Debbie at all. By her age and with her experieces you would have thought that she's learned something. Debbie has also come out as a victim in all this. As if she's never done anything wrong or bad..She was quite a bitch still few years ago. It was totally out of order for her to compare Pete to Cameron, but obviously sheused that just as an excuse to get rid of Pete.
Hopefully they'll make Pete really happy with someone(Vanessa? they would be great), Debbie's relationship with Ross is doomed to fail-I wouldn't trust him around my kids, but I would trust Pete. That tells

If Ross is not changing-I actually hope he goes. Wouldn't miss Debbie either.

I agree with a lot of your comments.

Debbie hasnt really changed over the
years.
Neither Pete or Ross are fit to care for
children . Theyve had a terrible upbringing
and it shows.Some people overcome that-
others dont.

Ross is ok.as a bad boy - no worse than
others in ED or other soaps- just a lot
of actions close together.
But hes fickle and irresponsible and not
really interested- has softer moments but
children need more consistency than that.

Pete is seriously unstable and to me very
creepy/oily.. I.think in real life -he would ring
alarm bells!!
The most sensible thing Debbie has done
is bin him.Sometimes people do the right
thing for the wrong reason!

I do find it quite concerning than in all
soaps - when they want to rehabilitate
a character- they make them " nice"
to children for a short spell.
It sets a pattern of what's acceptable
and it isnt really.Children deserve better
than.that.!
