Thought we'd have a thread for this handsome sexy man, who not only is a fantastic actor, but also plays a fantastic character!

Yay -thanks

My pleasure! Can't wait to have him come back to the village. He's already very missed, lol.

Fantastic actor! Deserves more recognition!

he definitely does! so plz go an vote for him in the Inside Soap Awards

Thanks for this thread, I think michael parr is a great actor & very fit voted for him in the inside soap awards

I thought it was time he got his own appreciation thread. Definitely one of my main reasons for tuning in to ED
He so deserves a win(s) at the Inside Soap Awards!

I love both the actor and the character dearly but after two years trapped in the Brendan Brady thread I don't have the energy to get involved in another.

Best of luck with the thread though and I really do hope he wins something soon, it's amazing that he is even getting on the shortlist for awards like best actor. Well deserved.

OK, I had been on the fence about Ross Barton for a while, I couldn't really make my mind up as to whether I liked the character or not, but he won me over in his scene in the graveyard last week. I felt sorry for him and I could see he did genuinely love Donna.

And of course, it goes without saying that Michael Parr is beyond hot. Yum, is all I can say.

I see michael has been nominated for 3 awards at the inside soap awards hope he wins the 3!
I follow him on twitter his banter is hilarious

Can't believe he's not picked up any best newcomer awards yet!

Does anyone know exactly when Ross is back in ED?

Can't believe he hasn't won any awards yet either- just like another actor I really love from EE

Michael's work with Verity/Donna and the aftermath of her death, were just fantastic to see. His scenes at his home with Debbie were amazing, and the little talk he had with Bob and the graveyard scene were equally amazing imo.

I also love his scenes with Finn his brother. They should definitely have more scenes together, and I absolutely loved that they got two in the episode he left in..

Can't wait for Ross to come back even if he is going to be back to being nasty. Michael Parr is brilliant and a nice bit of eye candy, I'll have a slice of him please

Ross is away for a couple of months apparently

I love Ross with Finn. He's so protective of his little brother - loved it when he lost it with James at the hospital when he thought he was going to lose him. Amazing from Michael.
Wonder what his reaction's gonna be like when he realises it's Finn who is responsible for bringing Emma back into their lives.

congrats to Michael for winning Best Newcomer at the Inside Soap Awards tonight! So thrilled for him!

also the little girl who plays April won. Ross and April really had lovely scenes together

Yayy congratulations!!!

Ross is back in Emmerdale in November

Love Ross, not just a pretty face.
Looking forward to seeing him back on our screens, been way to long!!
Cannot wait to see where they take his character now, we have seen him gone from bad to good and is going back to bad again.
Only downside is he will be layering up.

Can't wait he's been away to long

You can tell it is not long before Ross is back as he got a couple of mentions last night and James has now gone looking for him.
Sounds like he is already upto old tricks.

Ross is coming back soon Can't wait to see him again onscreen. Been too long!

Back tonight and with a bang, literally. Back before expected. I will happily nurse him back to health

so awesome! but, get in line

I think the line will be very long I will happily sit it out

haha one down, thousands to go...

I loved that he came back just to see Finn. Love them. "well jeepers, I hope he didn't shout too loud"
