Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

Ross will get away with it hopefully, others may disagree but the only way I would want Ross to get sent down is if Robert Aaron and Andy do aswell otherwise there is no consistency. They have all done just as bad in the past.

Soaps have their own peculiar morality ( or lack
of). There are several others in ED apart
from those you & Lizann mention that
have got away with serious crimes inc nurder.
So I agree with your statement. It also applies
in other soaps!

Its one of the areas where Soaps DO reflect
real lives- which is sad for those affected by
murder rape and other violence!

a bit more on what happens with Moses from Radio times (http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-...shock-accident)

The life of Moses Dingle will be put on the line in the coming weeks when he has accident in the bath.

The horrific incident comes when a belligerent Emma arrives at the house and starts an argument with Debbie, who then takes her eye off the baby.

"Emma gets drunk and she wants Debbie to come down and talk to her. But because Emma distracts her, there are consequences," says actress Gillian Kearney.

The showdown comes after the battle for Moses's future grows ever more intense, after Debbie finds out that Ross has made a secret childcare agreement with Emma so that she can see her grandchild.

But despite Debbie reiterating that she's cutting Emma out of Moses's life, Ross's mum doesn't take no for an answer. In secret, Emma pays a prison visit to Charity in the hope that she'll be granted custody.

But with Emma looking to have met her match in Charity, it isn't long before she's back in the village venting her anger at Debbie, which is when the bathtime accident occurs.

Scenes to be shown on Friday 18 December will see the baby's nearest and dearest keeping a bedside vigil at the hospital. But will Debbie and Emma ever be able to put their differences aside for the sake of Moses?

Adds Kearney: "Emma doesn't mean to be destructive and, after the accident, there is a bit of a moment between Debbie and Emma. They both admit that if they hadn't have clashed, then the baby would never have been in trouble. And Debbie admits that she was out of order."

so it does appear from that Emma doesn't go out of her way deliberately to hurt Moses.

Sounds like Charity rejects Emma's offer then, must be leading to a massive custody battle in a couple of months.

I think Ross will run away and take Moses with him in a years time roughly. I think Michael Part is bound to leave the show soon and hopefully the door is left open for a return.

Michael Parr will be at an Emmerdale promoted bash in February with Danny Miller so I'm sure he will still be in it for some time

Er, I really hate to burst anyone's bubble but Mike and Danny here are just part of a February 2016 celebrity thing. This would have set up months ago maybe.

There is no guarantee yet, in any way, that these guys will still be showing on UK TV screens when this "Bash" happens in February 2016.

This poster publicity is only around now to promote this one particular event. This event should not, in any way, be misinterpreted as to mean that Mike Parr and/or Danny Miller are still part of the active Emmerdale acting team when this event occurs on 27/02/15, or that either or both of these guys are still likeable or popular then. The poster is simply about selling tickets and publicising the event.

BTW, I reckon that the poster clearly shows the difference between likeable Aaron versus unlikeable Ross. As the saying goes, "the camera never lies".

Maybe in 50 years time or so, Ross Barton will still be remembered, maybe for being the biggest low-life that Emmerdale ever showed? Time will tell.

One more thing. I really don't like seeing "that good-boy photo" everywhere of Mike Parr with his grandad. Well, we all have grandparents, parents, younger relations, etc, but using them to try to justify, hide or explain what we do ourselves in real and working life just doesn't work for me at all. We personally show everyone what we are by the things we do and say ourselves. Ross Barton is most definitely not a good boy or good role model in life or even anyone remotely someone to aspire to be. I am so glad that I am not Ross Barton. I wouldn't want Ross Barton's life for anything (or anyone else's come to that!). #noenvy

Just why anyone can fan Ross Barton right is really beyond me. The Emmerdale storyliners and scriptwriters (even top honcho Kate Oates herself?) seem to have made it very clear that Emmerdale viewers are completely meant to really hate Ross Barton, what with his terrible criminal activities and horrible low-life chavvy troublemaking charmless personality.

I really do wonder if anyone fanning Ross Barton is just looking at a blank TV screen from 7pm on UK weekdays, as I reckon that whoever does this must be watching a very different programme to the Emmerdale one I get to see at the same time and get to remember and comment on later on this forum.
