Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[Telly Watcher]

Seriously you're just a copy and paste person now aren't you. We get it you hate Ross Barton and Michael Parr. You blamed MICHAEL (the actor) for the attacks in France because his character promotes violence. We recently caught the reason in another thread. You like Robert Sugden. We get it. I have to ask though why haven't you blamed Ryan Hawley for the attacks in France? He was waving a gun around on new years eve when playing Robert. Or is he immune because you like him? Double standards from you.

Just what are you talking about? I wrote the whole of my post you quoted myself from my own experience and knowledge!

I dislike Ross Barton now because of the mindless things he's done over the past 4 months or so.

Clearly, you are I are seeing different shows or you simply have your head in the sand whenever Ross Barton does something really bad, and that seems to be like nearly always for now! Wake up! Ross Barton is no good to anyone in Emmerdale or himself. He really needs help but this is beyond me, sorry.

Ross is such a total Emmerdale misftit, sociopath and completely unlikeable guy. There are no storylines or spoilers available to the general public right now about Ross's future, so there is an apparent blank canvas for Ross. But just why would Ross stay in Emmerdale? Ross Barton really belongs somewhere like Magaluf or Ibiza.

Robert and Ross both seem to have personality disorders. As far as I can tell for now, Robert may be a creative (charming) pyschopath. Very believable, very charming. cunning, smart, a real go-getter in present UK. He really comes across as being basically impulsive and ready to make the most of any opportunity that comes his way. For example, he sees Humpty Paddy stuck and struggling in the grain pit so Robert decides to turn on the feeder! But how cool and calm about the situation he was though, and just how thoughtful he was for us all as he could have saved everyone worldwide from the latest Paddy/Tess thing...haha! But Robert sees business opportunities and rich local girls too!

On the other hand, Ross is just a completely unlikeable misfit sociopath in Emmerdale and just pre-plans things, but he's so rubbish at being anything other than a complete numpty that everything he does ends in failure, either for himself or everyone else in Emmerdale, or both! Ross Barton is maybe the least "farmy guy" and biggest towny joke character Emmerdale has maybe ever had!

All that can expected for now is that Ross goes grey for a while in Emmerdale and then gets used by Charity when she gets out of jail ("birds of a feather..."). But I see no romantic stuff between Ross and Charity at all, as Charity will want to have Cain.

Ross Barton really seems to have no believable future in Emmerdale for now. For Ross to stay in Emmerdale will totally prove to everyone that he is a total idiot, when he really should be a young guy making the most of his life and sunning it up in Spain and going out with all of the holiday girls there. Ross, you are so.... rubbish and a complete waste of space and oxygen!

Great post

I agree that Ross is a misfit in the sense he doesn't fit into the village community very well his whole focus since he arrived is getting his hands on money through crime he clearly doesn't want to work for his money & also has been his love interests Donna & Debbie, the only other person he has a bond with is Finn & April but that's manly to keep his link with Donna. He doesn't even really have a friend.

But one thing that they have with Ross is that he now has a son in the village which was probably the point of having Moses his, giving him something to tie him there, although at the moment he hasn't shown a whole lot of interest in him it's Emma that seems to be pushing him towards reclaiming his son and he seems to want to palm him off onto others, but they could build on that if if wanted too.

I'm very frustrated with the amount of things Ross has done it's too much, and just losing his girlfriend doesn't seem enough.

It's going to take a lot for Emmerdale to get me to feel any empathy with him again as I did when he lost Donna.

The WRITERS have messed up badly with Ross. Getting him to torture his brother at the viaduct, and him shooting Robert has damaged the character.

However, it's not the character's fault, nor is it Michael Parr's. The character behaves as written, and the actor acts as required.

I would just stop biting if I was you, Telly Watcher just talks rubbish. You cant take a person who blames an actor for the one of the worlds biggest tragedies.

I dont think they have messed him up at all, he is a VILLAIN that is his role. The past few months is just the worst of him, we see this with every villainous character such as Robert and Cain.

He was introduced as car jacker scaring the life out of Laurel and I have not seen any redeeming features since .. even a bit of bonding with Moses won´t change him in any way .. he will not be a good father but palm the boy off to whoever he can.
Michael is a good actor but other than than I could not care less about the character

Fair enough, I disagree but we all like different things I suppose.
