All this nonsense with Debbie has ruined the character for me. Sorry, I really felt for him when he was with Donna but, now I just think he's a waste of screen time.

Lawrence owed Ross money after the Home Farm raid last year.
As Lawrence believed he got it wrong after he was told Ross was not involved in the Home Farm Raid (after trashing his house and causing problems for the rest of the Bartons), he told Ross he owed him a favour which Ross has now called in with Lawrence paying him off.

Robert hired Ross and Aaron to raid Home Farm. Chrissie discovered it was Ross who did it and told Lawrence who started a vendetta against the Bartons, but Robert covered it up and convinced Chrissie to tell her dad she was wrong about Ross. Lawrence stopped his vendetta and told Ross he owed him a favour for wrongly accusing him and doing what he did towards the Bartons. Ross finally cashed it in recently.
But now Chrissie and Robert aren't together, surely it can only be too long before Lawrence discovers it was Ross involved after all... one has to wonder if he'll go after Ross when he does (along with Aaron and Robert, of course) |

I adore Ross Barton and Michael Parr who plays him. He's my favourite Emmerdale character. However I agree that when he was with Donna he was at his very best and his relationships he's had with Carly and Debbie don't come close. When he was less dependent on Debbie for his happiness he was much better. I did like the bare knuckle fighting though I must say
Hopefully when Debbie leaves for a while he'll go back to how he was before he got with her. I really like his funny side more than him being miserable.

The story line is pants!
He was found in the woods, in a ditch, with a massive head injury and a false passport by a lone dog walker. Surely the police would be interested Why did the hospital allow him to just walk away with his mum/dad to be looked after at home?I know it's only soap but they could at least try for a bit of reality otherwise it's just EE in the countryside.... |

Feb up with Ross and have change my opinion of Michael Parr. I felt MP was great at the beginning but now is not really making much effort with his acting. All he does is pull faces. Shame because he has the potential to be really good.

The storylines have been a bit fast and loose of late but I wonder if thats because of things happening behind the scenes? A lot of the cast are on holiday, a couple have left, and the media coverage of Ross / Michael Parr has been quite intensive.
The scripts , I feel, just need to slow down a little |

![]() His affair with debbie and the whole crock of him being dead has been awful and a big character assassination. I was hoping he was dead as Michael Parr is deserving of better work than what he is being given to act out on ED. |

Michael Parr has a part in a film Dark Ascension
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1643249/ He plays the part of 'G' in the film which should be out in 2016. To be honest he is such a good actor that he might have been better off taking the leap into more films rather than sticking with Emmerdale as Ross. I understand it's difficult for actors and the security of a full time soap part is of course very tempting. However the character of Ross had better writing before now and if it gets worse it might impact on his acting. He's one of the better actors in soap and hopefully when Debbie goes away for a while Michael Parr / Ross will improve and go back to his best. |

Personally i don't mind his relationship with Debbie. He was flirting with her before she was officially going out with Pete.

Same. I guess he plans to use the money either to a) carry on his boring vendetta against Pete b) run away with the dreadful Debbie, or c) both. Either way, I don't give a monkey's about him any more.
But I think it could be c)

My favourite Donna and Ross scene was when they were "flirting" in the pavilion. It was lovely, tender and beautifully acted. Not "look at us we're acting at realizing we're falling in love", just subtle enough for this viewer to believe something is happening here. I've not seen one scene like that between Debbie and Ross, everything has been as subtle as using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I really do think they should have left Debbie and Ross as friends (which I actually enjoyed) and it could have been written that Pete had nothing to be jealous of but he still lashed out at Ross. In fact this would have made Debbie's behaviour to Pete since finding out he nearly killed Ross more acceptable. Then if something had happened between them after he came out of hospital would also have been more believable. |

I have to blame the writers. IMHO they thought the popularity of the Ross and Donna storyline could be duplicated using the Dingles (rather like they did with Aaron and Paddy). Unfortunately for a lot of fans of the show it has not worked. I remember cheering Ross humiliating Debbie when she threw herself at him. I can accept people can change their minds but, when Ross declared that Debbie was the "love of his life" it didn't ring true. We saw how desperate he was after Donna's death, the confusion, the not knowing and the anger at losing her was believable and well portrayed by the actor. So to suddenly be told that Donna was nothing compared to Debbie is actually quite insulting to the viewer.

*Laura*, your version, where Pete imagines the affair and goes bonkers with jealousy, would have been loads better. Bit like Othello as well, which is no bad thing.
