Emmerdale reveals more details as they confirm return of Ross Barton after six years

Emmerdale star Michael Parr is returning to the soap as Ross Barton, six years after his exit.

The soap teased his return on social media earlier today (Tuesday, September 17) with a comedy sketch video featuring Bradley Johnson, who plays Vinny Dingle.

They followed this up with official confirmation that bad boy Ross Barton is indeed making a return to Emmerdale.

Who was Ross Barton?

Ross arrived in 2013 and quickly became one of the soap’s most popular characters.

The son of James and Emma Barton, brother of Pete and Finn and half-brother of Adam Barton, Ross is also the father of Moses Dingle.

During his time in Emmerdale, Ross stepped on a lot of toes. But he also had a softer side and was devastated when Donna Windsor committed suicide following her cancer diagnosis.

Ross also embarked on an affair with Debbie, who was with his brother Pete at the time. But that came to an end when Ross had a one night stand with Debbie’s mum Charity â€“ thus conceiving Moses.

Following a devastating acid attack, Ross battled depression. He later left for a new life in Liverpool in 2018 with girlfriend Rebecca White.

But what has he been up during his time away?

Michael Parr on Emmerdale return

Speaking about his return to the soap, Michael said: “I’m over the moon to be returning to Emmerdale. Ross is a character I’m extremely fond of and I’m excited to explore what he’s been up to over the past five years.

“After seeing the scripts, I can’t wait for the audience to see what’s in store. One thing I can say is Ross’s return will no doubt create fireworks.” Sounds about right.

Producer Laura Shaw added: “We are delighted to have Michael back at Team Emmerdale, playing the unforgettable and charismatic bad boy Ross Barton once again. Ross makes a huge impact from the first moment he arrives back on screen, immediately throwing some of our villagers’ lives into disarray.

“Chaotic, wild and reckless, Ross is absolutely going to shake up the village and prove it’s never quiet with a Barton boy back in town.”

Nate’s fate is revealed, but Emmerdale fans don’t believe it

During the latest episode of Emmerdale, we finally discovered Nate’s fate after his strange exit â€“ or did we?

Fans have been concerned about Nate’s whereabouts, given he just disappeared. Some fans believe he went to Scotland like he had been planning, but others have different theories.

Despite Emmerdale apparently revealing Nate’s location, some fans are still not convinced. We didn’t actually see him leave, and let’s face it, if you didn’t see it then it didn’t happen.

So just where is Nate?

What happened to Nate?

Earlier this month, Moira leaned in for a kiss with Nate. The indiscretion was witnessed by Caleb, who wasted no time in spilling the beans.

Despite Nate being the innocent party, neither Cain nor Tracy were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Cain punched his son several times, while Tracy inflicted a different kind of pain when she told him she’d no longer be moving to Shetland with him.

Nate and Tracy, who’d only recently reunited, had been planning a move north of the border due to Nate being offered a new job there.

Nate went on to talk to John about the situation, insisting he wouldn’t be going quietly. But then he did exactly that… and we haven’t seen him since.

Tracy has since discovered the truth and knows Nate is innocent. But nobody had heard from him, until now…

In last night’s episode (Monday, September 15), Tracy received a text message from Nate, which read: “Settling in, head’s a mess, don’t call me, I’ll call you when I’m ready.”

Fans are not having it though and are convinced there is more to Nate’s exit.

Fans suspicious over Nate’s exit

Nate’s exit seems all too easy and odd, especially given his last scene saw him say he wouldn’t be leaving quietly.

Fans are certain something sinister has happened to Nate, with many taking to social media to share their theories.

“Was it Nate that text or someone else? Ya never know in that village,” asked one fan, with another writing: “Is Nate really still alive or is he dead somewhere and someone has got his phone…”

Another viewer felt it was a weak exit for the character and is hoping there is more to it. “Bar his affair with Moira, Nate’s character wasn’t the most impactful but what a [Bleep] exit! I’m hoping Tom or John’s killed him and [is] texting Tracy. Duller characters have been given better exits. What an insult to Jurell,” they wrote, referring to Jurell Carter, who has played Nate since 2019.

One theory fans have is that John is responsible for Nate’s departure, given he was seemingly the last one to see him.

“John relays that Nate’s gone, which is always suspicious in a soap. In fact, all of this is VERY suspicious. The texts, ‘don’t call me I’ll call you when I’m ready’, very convenient. Did he even send them?” asked another cynical fan.

Are we over thinking it, is Nate really in Scotland like he should be? Or has he met a more grisly end?

Fans do a complete U-turn over Mack as they hail him ‘hero’ of the episode

Fans of Emmerdale have done a complete U-turn over Mackenzie Boyd following the latest episode.

Previously, Mack has rubbed viewers up the wrong way. Mainly because of his cheating on Charity with Chloe and his treatment of both women.

Fans complained about Mack continuing to grate, even going so far as to beg for him to be killed off.

But is a redemption arc on the way for Mack?

What happened in Emmerdale?

Following the shocking barn fire, as she recovered in hospital, Moira was given the news that she had a brain tumour.

Cain behaved like a petulant child and refused to be by her side, insisting he couldn’t handle it. He eventually had a change of heart, though his anger continued to rear its head.

In last night’s episode (September 16), not satisfied with the doctor’s advice â€“ as presumably Cain knows better â€“ he tipped up a table and stormed out.

Moira’s brother Mack was the unlikely source of calm, as he shared some strong words with his brother-in-law, telling him to “get a grip and be better”.

Mack told Cain: “She will worry that you’ll throw another selfish tantrum because you’re too weak to handle it. She needs to know what she’s up against. How can she do that when she’s too busy worrying about you?

“We’re all struggling here, but this is the start of what Moira has to deal with.”

Emmerdale fans enjoyed the confrontation and have lauded Mack for standing up to Cain.

Emmerdale fans call Mack a hero

Following the episode, Emmerdale fans took to Instagram to express their joy at Mack’s words.

“Mackenzie was the star of tonight’s episode,” wrote one fan, while another added: “Got to respect Mack tonight.”

A third fan said: “Mac tonight was…” accompanied by three emojis â€“ fire, applause and a hand making the OK sign.

Another fan was in agreement, writing: “Well said Mackenzie.”

With fans having done a U-turn on Mack, could Moira’s diagnosis be the source of some good and be the making of Mack?

In next week’s Emmerdale spoilers, Tom sets a trap for Belle. He uses Amelia to get Belle on her own, then holds her hostage at Wishing Well Cottage. Can terrified Belle escape his clutches?

Tom is manipulating Amelia in Emmerdale spoilers

The whole village is reeling from the discovery of Tom’s abuse against Belle. No one can quite believe what was going on under their noses, but amazingly Tom still has some supporters.

Jimmy, for one, is struggling to believe his nephew is capable of such cruelty. Tom has managed to convince him Belle is mentally unstable and on a mission to destroy his life. And sadly Jimmy isn’t the one person who Tom has fooled.

Tom has selected Amelia as his next victim and the naive barmaid is lapping up the attention from her new fella. Naturally, Amelia’s loved ones are concerned about her safety, but as far as she’s concerned Tom is an innocent victim.

Can anyone make her realise Tom’s true nature before it’s too late?

Amelia lays into Belle and Chas

Tom is still missing after being dismissed from his job at the vets and Belle fears he’s planning his next attack.

She discusses the situation with Chas in the back room of The Woolpack, but their conversation is interrupted by Amelia’s arrival. The lass gets the wrong end of the stick and rails at Belle and Chas for the campaign against Tom.

Meanwhile, Kerry and Amy are alerted to Amelia’s outburst. Fearing she’s still in contact with Tom, the pair decide to do some digging to find out more.

Will they discover where Tom has been hiding out?

Tom traps Belle in Emmerdale spoilers

Later in the week, everyone is surprised when Amelia suddenly appears to have a change of heart about Tom.

Belle dares to believe Amelia has seen the light when she agrees to meet and have a private woman to woman chat. But it’s all a ruse – Amelia has fallen under Tom’s influence and is tricking Belle.

Unaware of what’s about to happen, Belle waits at Wishing Well for Amelia to arrive. But it’s not Amelia who she sees when the door suddenly opens and Tom walks in.

Confronted by her menacing ex, Belle is terrified. And it seems Tom has a sinister agenda as he blocks Belle’s exit and proceeds to lock the doors. Will Amelia realise what she’s done and raise the alarm? Or is Belle in serious danger?

Emmerdale spoilers: Laurel and Charles give into passion

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Laurel and Charles’s spat turns steamy as the unlikely pair wind up in bed together. But will their passionate encounter be a one-off or the start of a new romance?

Laurel and Charles are back on the market in Emmerdale spoilers

You’d think Laurel would want to give men a wide berth after everything Jai has put her through.

The couple’s year-long marriage ended badly after Laurel discovered the extent of Jai’s lies and manipulation. She filed for divorce, but Jai didn’t take it well and has been making Laurel’s life a misery ever since.

Jai has mellowed slightly since Laurel’s lad Arthur returned to the village and gave him what for. He backed down on his bid to take half of Mulberry Cottage, and it’s clear that underneath all the nastiness, Jai still loves Laurel. But would she take him back after everything he’s done? We doubt it!

Charles is also back in the singles club following his split with local GP Manpreet. The vicar called time on their relationship after struggling with trust issues. Charles was also in a bad place following the tragic death of his son, Ethan. But is it really all over between him and Manpreet?

Laurel and Charles’s heated argument soon gives way to passion (Credit: ITV)

Charles and Laurel get it on!

Autumn is in the air, and Laurel has big ideas for the upcoming village harvest festival. Unfortunately they don’t go down well with Charles, or his opinionated mum, Claudette.

The pair are concerned Laurel’s vision is too modern for their traditional church setting and make their disapproval clear. But Laurel has had enough of being told what to do and decides to crack on regardless.

Later, Charles is livid when he sees Laurel has gone against his wishes. He loses his temper and lays into Laurel. But as she argues back, loathing suddenly turns to lust and the pair start kissing.

Crikey! We didn’t see that one coming. Although, Laurel was married to the late Reverend Ashley Thomas, so she clearly has a thing for a men of the cloth.

Laurel and Charles go all the way (Credit: ITV)

Laurel and Charles get caught in the act?

Their unexpected attraction takes both Laurel and Charles by surprise. After exchanging some spikey banter, the pair give into their desires and head upstairs to the bedroom.

Across the village and unaware their exes are getting jiggy, Manpreet and Jai share a heart-to-heart. Jai reveals he wants Laurel back so Manpreet encourages him to be brave and admit his feelings. This also prompts Manpreet to privately consider doing the same with Charles.

After thinking things through, Manpreet decides what she had with Charles is still worth fighting for. She makes her way over to Woodbine ready to win him back. Will she find him in bed with Laurel?

John is finding his feet in Emmerdale spoilers

John has decided to try and make a go of a new life in Emmerdale, but things haven’t got off to the smoothest start.

His rude behaviour has rubbed locals up the wrong way and John doesn’t seem like he’s here to make friends. Even poor Victoria, who’s been so desperate to get to know her big brother, hasn’t been able to break through his icy exterior.

Aaron has had slightly better luck, but his affair with John still feels a purely physical thing. John is harbouring big secrets from his past, which he doesn’t want Aaron – or anyone else knowing about.

Are viewers ever going to see the real John?

John saves Pollard’s life

John puts his experience as an army medic to good use when Eric starts feeling rather unwell.

The Dales legend’s health has taken a knock since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s last year. The news came as a crushing blow for Eric, but it doesn’t seemed to have stopped him getting up to his usual immoral antics.

Pollard is determined to carry on as normal, but events take a terrifying turn when he starts experiencing chest pains. Could he be on his way out?

Thankfully John is at Brook Surgery and recognises the signs of an oncoming angina attack. He takes Eric’s blood pressure then administers a mouth spray to alleviate his chest pains and prevent the attack.

Liam rewards John’s bravery

Dr Liam is impressed by John’s quick-thinking and thanks him for helping Eric.

Although clearly not comfortable with being centre of attention, John awkwardly enjoys the praise. So when Liam offers him a permanent job, John happily accepts.

Is he finally starting to feel at home in Emmerdale?

John is hiding something in Emmerdale spoilers

He’s been in the village a good few weeks now, but we still know very little about John.

Victoria was overjoyed to discover she had a half-brother she never knew existed and wanted to learn John’s backstory. But unlike excitable Vic, John isn’t an open book. He’s been very reluctant to give any details about his past, which has made it look like he’s got something to hide.

Last month, Victoria discovered a tin box amongst John’s possessions, containing an army dog tag. She questioned John and he admitted he’d been in the forces, but wouldn’t say any more. Later, it was revealed the dog tag had the name ‘Aidan Moore’ inscribed on it. But who is Aidan?

There have been several theories shared amongst fans – these include Aidan being John’s ex-lover, or John himself! But we could be one step closer to learning the truth when Victoria makes a shocking discovery…

Victoria rumbles John and Aaron’s affair

Victoria wants John to know more about his heritage and digs out the old family photos to show him. But John couldn’t be less interested and keeps his eyes on his mobile.

Sick of his rude attitude, Vic snatches John’s phone out of his hands to find out what’s more important. She’s shocked to see her brother has been sending texts to Aaron and realises they’re still sleeping together.

Vic previously caught John and Aaron in a passionate clinch, but both of them swore to her it was a one-off. Now she’s found out John and Aaron have been lying to her and she’s not happy.

In The Woolpack, angry Victoria grills John about his affair with Aaron. But when John storms out of the pub, Vic starts to wonder what else he could be hiding.

Victoria finds out about Aidan Moore

Later that day, a calmer Victoria goes to find John at his van to apologise for her earlier outburst.

She knocks on the vehicle, but when she doesn’t get a response she decides to let herself in. John’s not going to thank her for invading his privacy!

Inside, Victoria comes across the dog tags and reads the name ‘Aidan Moore’ on them. She’s baffled why John would have something belonging to another man.

Moments later, John arrives back and catches Victoria red-handed. He’s furious and wastes no time in chucking his sister out. Will Victoria be able to get the truth out of John and solve the mystery of who Aidan is?
