After a long six years, the charming Ross Barton has finally made his return to Emmerdale. Fans were in for a surprise when actor Michael Parr reprised his role on Monday's episode of the ITV soap. Though his arrival had been announced beforehand, the exact circumstances were kept under wraps, adding to the excitement of his comeback.
In a shocking twist, Ross appeared in a scene with Billy Fletcher, who had been participating in underground fights to support his family. Little did he know, his opponent in the ring would turn out to be none other than Ross himself. What a way to make an entrance!
But for those who need a refresher on Ross' last appearance in the village, here's a quick rundown. It all began in 2013 when he arrived in Emmerdale in a stolen car. Throughout his five-year stay, Ross was involved in a plethora of intense storylines, from affairs to heists and even a controversial dognapping plot.
One of his most memorable storylines was when he was revealed as the father of Charity Dingle's son, Moses, in a "Who's the father?" plot. In a surprising turn of events, Ross began an affair with Charity's daughter Debbie, who was engaged to his brother Pete at the time. This led to a violent altercation between the two brothers, with Pete mistakenly believing he had killed Ross and burying his body in the nearby woods.
However, Ross made a miraculous return from the dead, much to Pete's shock. Seeking revenge, he kidnapped Pete and staged it to look like he had taken his own life. But the brothers' troubles didn't end there, as they faced the deaths of their father James and the murders of their mother Emma and brother Finn, all at the hands of their own family.
In a heartbreaking twist, Ross became the victim of an acid attack orchestrated by his ex Debbie, who was actually targeting Joe Tate. After surviving the attack, Ross left the village in 2018 with Rebecca White and her son Seb, hoping for a fresh start in Liverpool. But it seems that Ross' past may catch up with him in his return to Emmerdale.
In an interview with Metro, Michael hinted that there may be some unresolved history between Ross and Rebecca that will come to light. He also teased that there will be plenty of action and drama in store for his character, with Ross using his manipulative ways to get what he wants.
Despite the time that has passed, Ross' traumatic past will still have an impact on his character. Michael explained that his experiences with his family, relationships, and even the loss of loved ones have left him with deep emotional scars. But at the core, Ross is still the same person, just a bit more mature and weathered by his experiences.
As for what's next for Ross, viewers will have to stay tuned to find out. Emmerdale airs on ITV1 weekdays at 7.30pm and on ITVX at 7am.
