Ross Barton (Michael Parr)

[alcapo11]

Yeah, I hope it doesn't last for too long though. He needed a break from being at the centre of the show but most of the time it's like he's ceased to exist, especially on the ED Twitter account.

I cant see Michael Parr staying for much longer tbh unless he gets a more challenging storyline.

Yup, he's basically being wasted at ED at the moment. I think his current contract lasts until January though.

He has been in the soap 3 years now and the writers haven't got him a mate, they do know villains can have mates dont they? Its the same with Robert, are we really meant to believe that in such a tiny village that some people cant even make atleast one mate? Also before Ross does leave I want see him beat the **** out of Cain.

I think Kate Oates has put him in the background because of the backlash from the Robron fans when he was revealed as the shooter.

Yeah i think that as well. They were just being pathetic (not all!).

A lot of what i've seen from them - they hate characters who stop them from being together every minute of every day: Ross, Chrissie and now Liv is their target.

It's a bit of irony that they keep on going on how Ross was over used last year and yet he wasn't even in the top 5 most appeared in episodes list. Yet, so far this year all I ever see online is about Robron! It's made me fed up of them.

I don't think we can really blame Kate Oates for what we're seeing now. I'm definetly seeing a pattern of what is appearing on screen and what we're seeing online. Kate was never this focused on the online channels.

These are still Kates episodes, but yeah I agree the online stuff is just total cringe.

He's definetly being wasted but did anyone see Michael on last nights "The Chase" - he's really intelligent. I'm sure he's smart enough to realise in soaps you go through quite periods. I'm hoping next year will be a Ross focused year. It's a bit boring for me 'cos I do only really enjoy Ross' character but I will stick with it.

I'm hoping there'll be a bit of a dramatic exit for Ross later on in the year when Michael climbs mount everest. He's doing that in October, so i'm guessing we'll see his exit episodes at the end of October?

Perhaps we will get another fake death that we know about.
