Is effectively going to become a choir boy!! Unique character redemption idea if ever I've seen one!

oh good- another wacky Barton brothers storyline. Finn and Pete are honestly as dull as dishwater.

They should get rid of Pete, Finn and James and just keep Emma and Ross.

Yes, Ross and Emma are certainly the more interesting ones. I just think Emma and Moira should get together and co-parent Ross.

I've been watching some old episodes with John Barton in (didn't watch ED back then) and it's unfathomable to think he's supposed to be James' brother. Early days, but even so, he seemed a much more animated, instantly likeable character.

Oh no! I cringe every time Ross imitates a particular person/accent.

I saw that yesterday, I think it sounds fun and right up Val's street, though I think she would prefer them topless

Has there ever been a storyline with a character joining a choir in Emmerdale before as the only scene I remember is this one with Jasmine, Debbie and Laurel in 2006 but Jasmine never joined:

Sounds great, I love the Bartons now that they're working together - Finn & Ross's relationship is great to watch.

The Bartons via James are one of the main group of characters that keep me watching. (I never liked the character of John and his family with the exception of Moira.)

So for me, I'm looking forward to these few scenes, i'm an old softy. I love it when Pete and Ross get together do things to make Finn happy.

I cringe every time Ross bashes someone's head in with a lump of wood, hi-jacks cars, steals cars, etc. He is my 2nd most disliked character in Emmerdale - the first being Tracey. The rest of the Bartons are good entertainment.

Haha! That's true. Nothing but a dickie bow tie and tight little speedos would have pleased Val - though she might have even dispensed with the speedos





I wonder how they're going to play this? Are the actors really good singers in real life and we'll have a pleasant surprise? Or are they going for humour and they'll sound like cats being strangled? Time will tell.

bib: I suspect that you swoon whenever Cain does it though.

Hot Ross is one of the best characters to join the show in recent years, and the producers would be mad to lose him.

Barton Boys can be the older British version of the Jonas brothers

Ooh - poor Tracey! Worse than Ross?! I disliked her intensely when she first arrived, but like her friendships with Eric, Finn and Carly, and I've enjoyed some of her moments with David. I find her less annoying than him at the moment. And I'm looking forward to Michael Praed joining ED as Tracey's father. He was my teen pin-up....

I am too, I remember him from Dynasty.

He's looking good. A welcome addition

He'll always be Robin of Sherwood for me... Shame he left that programme to join Dynasty...and then promptly got blown up...or was it gunned down?!

I saw him in High Society a few years back - very enjoyable!

He was overthrown and lost his gal

The show had started to lose its marbles by then, although it was brave running a terrorist plotline.

Even ED in it's current state wouldn't go that far for sensationalism.

I agree.

And I hope that Ross and Prozac Pete don't fall out again when the dreadful Debbie returns.

I would love for them both to snub her upon her return to the village. It's all so much better when they are getting along, thanks to the contrived nonsense from the past that was thought up to build animosity between them.

Though of course I'd be happier if Debbie never returned - no offense to the actress but it's been miles better without her.

The Barton's are one of the very few families that keep me tuning in at the mo.
