He's had barely 2 scenes since James' death. I'm not a super fan of the character or anything but it's very noticeable that he's practically ceased to exist compared to his brothers who are now at the forefront. I know it's probably to do with Mike's Everest trip but they'd have been better doing a temporary exit storyline, as it just feels weird that he's so rarely mentioned all of a sudden.

I think the episodes that are airing now were filmed when Mike was climbing Everest.
Spoiler


Out of three brothers I was looking forward to how he would cope with Jame's death the most. He initially wound everyone up and was looking to fight with Adam, but beyond that, they haven't shown much.

The fabulous Ross should be back later in the month.

Supposedly went to London on a business trip, it's no secret that I dislike the character so I'm glad of the break

Its hardly been a break, he's basically exited the show for a full year (minus a few scenes now and then).

That is true. He's not my favourite character but I find him intriguing. The only scenes he ever really gets now are ones where he is arguing with Charity over Moses. Also why are the writers so against Charity having some scenes with the kid for once?

To be honest quite disappointed with the aftermath of James' death. Thought this would have opened up a bigger story for the Barton boys but so far nothing.

I think the whole show has been very inconsistent the past couple of months. Obviously it can't be on top form every day but it seems IM is taking the approach of block storylining, letting a major story reach a key point and then forgetting about it for a month to give the weaker characters (Kerry, Tracey etc) screentime, it's like they are being given scenes just for box ticking.

I'm also really disappointed in Finn's story. I was a happy about him getting a major storyline but I find him quite irritating in this one.

Ross is definitely the most interesting out of the three brothers, I think the big storyline for him will be when he finds out that Emma did it. Emma will probably try to run away with Moses.

Emmerdale are awful at aftermath especially in recent years. The aftermath of the helicopter crash was awful aswell.

Me too - the inquest was over in five minutes and people seem to be moving on, as they always do in Soapland.

Hopefully the storyline will be revisited at some point soon, either going down the route of Ashley remembering more of what he saw, or Emma eventually reaching breaking point and confessing all, possibly triggering another follow-on storyline (loving Gillian playing the role of Emma though).

The lack of grieving is really annoying me. Pete was probably the closest to his Dad but he seems to be on cloud 9 at the moment just because he's sleeping with Leyla. I've never seen him so happy. So stupid!

Ross has been the most gutted out of all them, obviously must of it is guilt but it is ridiculous how happy Pete has been.

I figured they're just waiting until Debola gets back to give him any airtime. Even if he flirts with Rebecca it's obvious it'll be over as soon as he lays eyes on misery guts Debbie and he'll go back to running around after her.

I just hope he and Pete stay friendly as I can't watch them go round two over her.

Hopefully not, Ross has slept with her mum numerous times since she left, I think he's pretty much over her. I still don't think that Ross ever really loved her, he just loved getting one over on Pete and being the family man for once.

People handle grief in different ways. Just because Pete isn't constantly miserable doesn't mean he isn't grieving. He could just be hiding it.

Thats true, but he genuinely does look happy to me. In a way though I'm enjoying it, as he has been miserable since the day he arrived.

I'd like to think that as I don't see them as a good couple at all but the Emmerdale producers seem to think she's irresistable. She actually makes him boring.

They worked well together beforehand as mates, I really enjoyed the scenes they had together after Donna died for example. It just didnt work romantically though, hopefully the new producer can see that.

Even Ross has been more sad than Pete has been and he hated his Dad a lot of the time. As soon as James died Pete was getting off with Leyla. Would you really feel like sex when your Dad has just died? Just seems weird to me.

Thankfully not.

Especially seeing as he is one of the best characters to have joined the show in recent years.

McLeod had better not drag him down again by hooking him up with Dreadful Dour Debbie, once more.

I could see that happening. Chartiy probably wouldn't even notice Moses had gone though.
