I think Ross needs to maintain a likable side, I think that is what made him popular in the first place he was a bad boy with a good heart. Having him steal two of his brothers wives would make him look evil and uncaring. And I'm trying to think of another soap character that has stolen two of their siblings spouses and I cannot think of one.
Ross cant help it if the women think of him as the most exciting/interesting brother.

One thing that he most certainly doesn't have is a good heart!

True, but he can keep his eggplant to himself

I really want them to do an STI story with Ross, the Kerry hook up was the perfect opportunity. Ross could have caught something from one of his randoms, given it to Kerry she could have given it to Dan and been forced to confess her infidelity.

Victoria doesn't, I normally like Ross being a douche but there is nothing "bad ass" about sexual assault.

Screw that, I love mean, horrible, nasty, moody Ross. He's great.
Yeah- and me. He's hot as, too

Sexual Assault? He tired his luck, she said no and then she left. When did the sexual assault take place?

Exactly, Ross was never going to hurt her, his intention is just to purely wind Adam up.

You'd leave your country because of it?

Apparently irish passport applications are in the midst of being applied for
They say that 25% of the population of the UK is eligible for an Irish passport and last September the rate of application was double the previous September. There has to be a huge population in the USA that can claim an Irish born grandparent. I most certainly wish that I had one.

It was still an unwanted advance that falls under the realm of harassment.

An unwanted kiss is an assault, in law. Indeed, you do not even need to touch someone in order to assault them. It's enough for the person to have an immediate apprehension that someone is about to lay about them.

Hmmm so what about Rebecca trying to undo Roberts belt whilst he said no? Why did no one bring that up?

Why is Ross getting grief for the "assault" when plenty of characters have had kisses knocked back before?

Adam kissing Chas
Rebecca kissing Robert

Just a couple of examples

That is sexual harassment too, I once had a random girl do that to me in a club a couple years ago.

I think the problem is that there is a double standard when it happens to men its not looked at as sexual harassment.

Ive seen plenty of characters have kisses knocked back over the years, I dont think its sexual harassment, unless they continue to pursue them.

I disagree, once is too much. People need to respect boundaries.

Ofcourse I agree, but my problem is that its only been brought up tonight, because some people don't like Ross. Pete kissed Moira a while back, and she certainly didnt want to kiss him back, yet nothing was said.

I think it's because he kissed her, she pulled away and it kissed her again with a "you know you want it" attitude. It did come across as a wee bit rapey

This was worse that's why, she rejected his kiss and he pushed himself back on her and did it again. when Pete did it to Moira she kissed him back.

I think people were too busy talking about the nasty incest factor when Pete kissed his auntie. I think Ross might be catching more flack because they have been over sexualizing him lately having him sleep with all these different when and giving him the attitude that he can get any woman kind of makes him look more predatory when he goes after a woman that clearly does not want his advances.

Ok, Ross crossed a line, but he was never going to harm her or rape her. In his eyes it was a win win situation, if Victoria had of slept with him then he could use it to wind Adam up and even this way he can still wind him up.

I don't think for one second though that Ross would of hurt her in any way.

It doesn't matter if he was going to rape her the fact that he forced himself on her to humiliate her to get a reaction from Adam is sexual assault and left a lot of people uncomfortable.

Ross isn't coming across as a bad boy at the minute just a pethetic little boy instead.
