Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[JessicaMad]

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.

Michael Parr has not committed any crimes... he gets paid to ACT it out on a fictional TV show... I played one of the villains in a school production 10 years ago, should I be arrested for that?

I really don't like this vendetta the poster seems to have against Michael. Like you said Ross is a character which he acts brilliantly.

"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. "

what exactly are they trying to get at here?

And I think it's also quite insulting that fans of Ross are being made to feel bad about liking the character

OMG Telly Watcher you really do worry me as a person!

Do you not know that Michael Parr is an ACTOR! Ross Barton is a FICTIONAL character that is played by him. The fact that you hate Ross so much proves that Michael Parr is playing the villain role so well!

As for the photo of Michael with his grandad. Michael posted that on his twitter account. Like everyone else he can post what he wants when he wants.

It's not his fault if other users duplicate and save the image and post it elsewhere.

I can't wait until they break up Debbie and Ross, Ross is so much more interesting when he's not doting on Debbie all the time.

I've been glued to the Ross/Debbie/Pete triangle but I will be interested to see what they do next year with Ross' story. There's should be at least an arch for him to bond further with Moses but I would like to see more bad boy stuff.
