Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[Telly Watcher]

I liked Ross Barton until August 2015. In fact, I wish he'd stayed dead so I'd still have happy memories of him being good for the show. Instead, he came back and has since just made more and more unnecessary problems for himself and everyone on Emmerdale with no comeback for his actions. He hasn't so much been digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself, but to have fallen off a cliff and been in free-fall for the past 4 months. During New Year's Day, he finally hits the ground and the consequences of his own deeds and reality finally set in - Debbie leaves him, it's looks like he moves into Emma's house, he has no job, Robert knows Ross attempted to murder him, most of the other villagers have something on him, the police are chasing him, and Ross is left holding the baby. Welcome to reality at last and Happy New Year, Ross!

I for one am looking forward to enjoying my well-cooked TV kipper for late tea from 7:00pm to 7:30pm on New Year's Day, courtesy of Ross Barton on ITV. Mmmm...Sweet!

Yeah but in the spoilers it says Cain considers giving Ross his job back and he gets Moses back plus Robert and Aaron look like reuniting so all these problems for Ross you speak of look like going away.

the only slightly non-reality bit will be how after months is there any evidence in Debbie's house to link Ross to the shooting of Robert?

Ross visited Debbie's house around that time briefly but wasn't living there, either Debbie never cleans up, or Ross has just left the gun etc lying on the coffee table

Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. Thing is Ross does hold some power still. He could still put Aaron in it with the robbery and use it as a threat. So maybe some will be a little wary of that

This was posted in the other thread

Moira Dingle discovers that stressing about Charity begins at home as her husband Cain’s former lover, and cousin, prepares for her release from prison where she served time for perverting the course of justice. Cain blames her for his daughter Debbie quitting the village after her relationship with Ross.

The warehouse robbery, the home farm robbery, Andy's involvement in the shooting. For me Ross holds all the cards, he can take any of them down with him if he wants to. I really dont get why people think Ross has changed, he has always been a villainous character, only recently we have seen the worst of him just like we have seen the worst of Robert, Cain and Aaron in the past.

this is true - Ross has always 'winged it' a bit in life - doing what he needs to do to get by whether good or bad

The spoilers only say Ross is desperate and begs for his job back from Cain. I think Cain is going to be very mean and angry with Ross over everything Ross has done. Yes, Ross gets Moses back but he doesn't want him ("he's in the way"), so tries to use Emma or anyone else to have him. New Year's Day will still be big fun for TV viewers. Most people love to see a real baddie gets his come-uppance. What goes around comes around!

Exact details of what happens with Ross next long-term remain to be seen but the show-down of Ross meeting the destiny of his own making on New Year's Day is going to maybe be the BIG BANG from Kate Oates I've been waiting for and hoping would come for ages. Carpe Diem - Seize the day, savour the moment, live for today, the future can wait.

Alot of people love Ross though, and Ross obviously survives New Years day if hes in the spoilers.

The reason I like him is because of his humour, people hate him one minute then he will drop a line and people will love him. A loveable villain is hard to come by and Emmerdale have a few.
