Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[Telly Watcher]

Just recently read on twitter (a very reliable source for info don't you know!) some theories where Emma does something to Moses and Debbie gets sent to prison! (her exit).
Possible I can't see how Debbie and Ross relationship will survive that though if that's true.

Actually, this theory may be more plausible than first thought. There's a Soaplife article (but that magazine needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, it's known to exaggerate) and at the end it says "What if Emma somehow hurts Moses? What Debbie would do then may get her put in a prison cell next to mum Charity."

The Soaplife article is very iffy when it ends with self-made unanswered questions, woulds, coulds, etc. I really don't think anything should be taken as actual spoilers but just as teasing questions and red herring/misleading ideas.

We know that Ross is happy for Emma to have access to Moses (from their secret childcare deal made on Friday 11th December). Pete, then Debbie find out though by Wednesday 16th when Debbie rows with Ross over him lying to her about where Moses has really been instead of being with him.

I think Emma helps save Moses in Debbie's bathroom on Thursday 17th. I think that Charity may have earlier agreed that day to let Emma have more access to Moses.

The spoilers for Friday 18th say:
- Debbie and Emma's feud could finally be over.
- Debbie worries that she's lost Ross.

So, after Thursday 17th, I think Debbie is worried that Ross blames her for not looking after Moses properly and that she feels that Sarah and Jack have given Ross such a bad time by tricking/teasing him that he may have given up on them. But Ross then anyway takes part in a robbery for money for Debbie and the kids during the following week, 21st-25th December to try to show that he can provide and care for them. So Debbie hasn't lost Ross by at least Christmas Day (and maybe not until after New Year's Day too, until she finds out about the robbery and its consequences, whatever they are!).

What the end of the Soaplife article says is this (with my underlining for the iffy Soaplife words, and with my own comments shown as []):
>
If Debbie finds out Ross is lying to her about Moses, it could cause her to leave him and the village. [But the lying doesn't cause ... because we know Debbie does find out about Ross lying on Wed 16th Dec and she stays in Emmerdale until at least Christmas Day.]

Or... What if Emma somehow hurts Moses? What Debbie would do then could get her in a prison cell next to mum Charity - who is, of course, also Moses' mum... [But it looks as if Emma saves Moses in the bathroom (17th Dec) and we know from today's Daily Mirror spoiler (2nd Dec) that Charity is out of jail before Christmas Day, so Soaplife doesn't make sense on this as far as timing goes.]

Either way, Debbie's going next month - and we don't think she'll be going quietly, or with Ross.

More spoilers are due around midnight tonight. I'll post any interesting ones later.

Last thought, maybe Debbie leaves Emmerdale with her two kids early in the new year because she finds Ross two-timing her with Charity...? (in her own bed? )
