I was just reading an article from the Metro talking about soap characters who will feature much more next year and Ross was on the list...
It says that viewers will probably expect him to get back with Debbie but that may not be the case, and we may see closure on that one. It then says that Ross' major storyline could be that he finds Emma out and then goes to war with her. That sounds great to be honest, exactly the the direction I want to see him go in. Let him have the big reveal storyline and then focus on pairing him off with someone.
