  • As Ross embarks on new fling with Steph Miligan, Mike Parr confirms which Emmerdale woman was Ross’ ‘one true love’

    As Ross embarks on new fling with Steph Miligan, Mike Parr confirms which Emmerdale woman was Ross’ ‘one true love’

    Recent episodes of Emmerdale have seen Ross flirt with both Charity and Steph, but Mike Parr has revealed all on Ross’ love life.

    With Ross single and mourning the tragic death of his ex Rebecca, Mike has opened up about which former Dales woman was Ross’ ‘one true love.’

    Emmerdale: Ross’ love life

    Ross has been unlucky in love over the years, returning to the Dales with quite the tragic bombshell. He revealed to Charity that his ex partner Rebecca had died and Seb was now living with an aunt.

    With Ross now back in the village, he’s distracting himself from the grief it seems… turning his head to Charity. Seeing sense, Charity rejected Ross’ advances though. Fair play.

    But, now, he’s left Charity alone and in now flirting with newcomer Steph Miligan instead. The pair even ended up sleeping together in the barn. This happened despite Steph admitting that Ross isn’t the sort of guy she’d go for. We’re not sure we believe her…

    Mike Parr on Ross Barton’s ‘one true love’

    Spoilers for next week reveal that Ross is startled when Jade kidnaps April and takes her to a car park. It sends all sorts of bad memories rushing back for Ross as he remembers Donna’s death.

    And, Mike Parr has now confirmed that despite all these new romances and flings, it was Donna that ultimately won Ross’ heart.

    Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media, Mike shared: “That was his first experience with love.

    “When love is snatched away from you, you’re always going to glamorize it and think about what it could have been. But I think was probably the one he loved the most.”

    “Nobody lives up to Donna in his eyes.”

    Speaking about how Ross is haunted by Donna’s memory in the coming weeks as he’s taken back to the place of Donna’s death, Mike teased: “It’s hugely traumatic for him. It brings back the worst memories, you know, seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved you and your first experience of love to fall off a roof chained to a paedophile. That’s a traumatic event for him.”

    Will Ross ever find a love like he had with Donna again?

  • Mike Parr reveals reason he wants Ross to stay single: ‘I would rather keep him a bit of a lone wolf’

    Mike Parr reveals reason he wants Ross to stay single: ‘I would rather keep him a bit of a lone wolf’

    Ross Barton’s return to Emmerdale has definitely ruffled a few feathers. His return stunned ex Charity while angering her husband Mackenzie, especially after Ross kissed Charity.

    He seems to have now settled back into life in the village, but Ross’ love life is usually at the centre of the drama. With him now being single, it seems like he could be set to have a love interest soon as Steph Miligan catches his attention.

    But, what does Mike Parr think of his character’s love life?

    Mike Parr on Ross’ love life in Emmerdale

    Ross has confirmed he’s single after revealing he split from his former partner Rebecca a while ago, before she sadly passed away.

    While it seemed like he may reunite with Charity, or even spark up a new romance with someone else, such as Steph, it seems Ross could be better off alone.

    Actor Mike Parr has revealed his thoughts on his character’s love life, admitting he doesn’t want to see Ross settle down anytime soon.

    “I think from my point of view, I don’t want to see him fall in love, and get married, and have kids,” Mike admitted whilst speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media.

    He went on to say he wants to keep Ross as a ‘loner.’ The Emmerdale star added: “Ross’ USP is that he’s kind of a loner. He can attach into different people’s storylines. So I would like to keep him as a rogue.

    “I would rather keep him a bit of a lone wolf.”

    Ross’ return and kiss with Charity

    Since Ross arrived back in the village, he’s got back in Charity’s good books. With Ross having vowed to give up illegal boxing and focus on his and Charity’s son Moses, he managed to win her over.

    After Charity remarking that she liked the ‘new, mature Ross,’ the pair spent some time along together. Ross proceeded to flirt up a storm with his former flame before telling her wanted to live with her and Moses.

    Ross tried to kiss Charity, but she pushed him away and insisted she only has eyes for Mack. However, there’s clearly some chemistry still at play.

    In more recent scenes, Ross set his sights on newcomer Steph. He began flirting with her in the barn, with fans wondering if he’s set for a new romance.

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia forgave Tom and Kim forgave Will – but his accomplice was not happy

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Amelia forgave Tom and Kim forgave Will – but his accomplice was not happy

    Emmerdale tonight reunited Kim and Will at last – but it turns out he’s got himself into a mess with Peter, who has he been working with to bring Kim Tate down. Oops.

    Meanwhile, Amelia fell back into Tom’s arms when he brought God into the equation. But Sam wasn’t having any of it and went straight to the police.

    Here’s what happened in Emmerdale tonight, Monday November 25.

    Will and Kim reunited – but there was a twist in Emmerdale tonight

    Ross and Will made a deal (Credit: ITV)

    Will’s alive!

    Ross burst into Kim’s and told her Will was dead. He even showed her photographic evidence. Ross claimed he had put Will in the back of the van and rolled it into the quarry.

    Kim was devastated and aggressively threw him out. Lydia then arrived, but Kim just sent her home. And then Will walked in. A bit battered and bruised, but alive. Turned out Will and Ross made an arrangement to trick Kim into thinking he was dead.

    A much longed for reunion

    Kim insisted she’d never meant to kill Will, she just wanted an end to all the arguing (you and us both). And before we knew it they were admitting they still loved each other and were kissing.

    After an afternoon in bed, Kim called off the divorce and they agreed to start again. No more secrets. Which obviously means there are LOTS of secrets still to come.

    And then the twist…

    Sure enough, Will went to meet none other than Kim’s former flame Peter! It turns out they have been working together to bring Kim down.

    Will tried to call the deal off, but Peter threatened to tell Kim everything. His threats left Will in a very tricky position indeed. Will he bring Kim down? Or will he do the sensible thing, confess to Kim what he was plotting and team up with her to stop smarmy Peter.

    Well, when did anyone in Emmerdale ever do the sensible thing?

    Tom won Amelia over – but not everyone else in Emmerdale tonight

    Tom’s prayers were answered

    Nicola was not interested in Tom’s excuses over why Amelia had been upset the previous week. He then headed to the church supposedly to pray, but actually to manipulate Amelia.

    He spun her some nonsense about how he often comes to talk to God in the church, which obviously won Amelia straight over. Tom then talked about them getting engaged one day – but he said they had to grow their love first. For goodness sake, when we’re done retching, we ask again: when will Amelia see sense?

    Amelia then went to see Nicola and explained what had happened – or at least what Tom had manipulated her into believing had happened.

    Sam went to the police

    Amelia later suggested she and Tom read the Bible together as an evening’s entertainment. But Tom sweet talked her into planning their future instead – moving away together.

    Sam overheard everything and insisted he would never let Esther go anywhere with an abuser. Sam said Belle was coming home tomorrow and was ready to take Tom on. But Tom insisted the police would never believe Belle over him.

    Desperate to do something, Sam stormed off to the police station and cornered DS Foy, begging him to stop Tom. Foy assured him he understood it was frustrating and they were trying all they could to build a case. There’s not long to wait now, justice is about to be served.

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Chas and Liam had another clandestine meeting – out in the street. Chas then went to visit Moira who was worried about Cain and what she’d put him through. If only she knew. She didn’t want Cain to see her like this, but Chas urged her to be proud of her body and what it has done in fighting back.

    Cain later went to see Moira and she didn’t want to see the kids. She told Cain she’d felt awful next to Ruby the previous day. Cain insisted she was beautiful inside and out and Ruby would never even come close. So how will he explain the fact he slept with Ruby while Moira was having brain surgery, then?!

  • Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    It has been announced that Daisy Campbell will exit Emmerdale as Amelia Spencer at Christmas, but we don’t know how she will leave yet. Daisy has admitted in an interview that she was told the news earlier this year, but the choice to leave was not hers.

    Speaking to The Mirror Daisy admitted: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first. Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting. Once they explained, I totally got it.

    “Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”

    Speculation began a while ago over how Amelia will leave and with the scenes airing very soon (yes, Christmas really is just around the corner!) her exit will be upon us before we know it. But are scenes in Monday November 25’s episode setting up her exit storyline?

    Tom suggests moving away to Amelia in Emmerdale

    As Amelia remains smitten with Tom and constantly looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles, Tom manages to charm her again tonight. He pretends he’s really into God too and they pray together. He then suggests he’d like to put a ring on it, before bringing up the idea of moving away from the village to start their life together.

    Could this be her exit from the soap? Will Amelia leave to start again with Tom? Is that how he goes too?

    After so much tragedy in her young life, will Amelia leave on a high and get her happy ending? Or will there be more trauma ahead? Here are all the theories on her exit.

    1. Tom to kill Amelia?

    Okay, so Daisy has ruled out Amelia dying with her comments to The Mirror: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.” However, could this just be a red herring? It wouldn’t be the first time the soap has tricked fans…

    Things are getting so tense between her and Tom right now and next week will mark a turning point as Amelia starts to see his true colours. He lashes out at her during a bonfire night outing and it’s enough to make Amelia stop and think.

    Plus, we’ve already had scenes of Amelia’s death when Belle imagined her different futures. They were particularly harrowing, but was this foreshadowing what’s to come?

    Some fans certainly seem to think so with many commenting on social media: “Tom will do something to her.”

    It would also leave Esther to be brought up by her grandparents, Sam and Lydia and we can think of worse things than them having a child to focus on.

    2. Amelia to kill Tom?

    In a twist, could the roles be reversed? Could Amelia be the one to lash out in self-defence and kill Tom? Belle has already attacked him with an axe, but he survived. He also survived an electrocution in Moira’s barn. Will Amelia deal the fatal blow to her abusive boyfriend when it gets too much?

    And if she does, would that send her to prison? Or would she take Esther and go on the run to avoid jail?

    “What if she kills Tom?” wrote one fan. Others agreed they would be happy with this outcome.

    3. Amelia to leave Emmerdale with Tom to start a new life

    We’re really not on board with this theory, but could Amelia fall so far under Tom’s spell they up and leave Emmerdale together?

    Tom has now suggested as such, much to the disgust of Sam Dingle, who has begged the police to stop them. The cops aren’t able to do anything right now as they don’t have enough evidence to act.

    So will Amelia be whisked off to a life of fear and terror? If Tom gets his way, she will do.

    4. Off to uni

    Some fans have speculated that university is in Amelia’s future. She always was a brain box and was expected to achieve great things. But having Esther caused trouble with her schoolwork and she’s struggled to get back on track, working in Mandy’s salon to make ends meet.

    But could all the nasty Tom business cause her to have an epiphany and realise that she does want to make the best of herself? Will she leave to get a better education and put her past behind her?

    5. Amelia to leave Emmerdale and live with her dad

    With the man she thinks of as her dad, Dan, in prison could she leave to live with her uncle-who-is-actually-her-biological-dad, Daz. He’s her only remaining family member, other than her brother Sean, so if she realises what a mess she’s made in the village and needs to cut ties, Daz is the only real person she could turn to.

  • Pete Barton to return on Christmas Day? A new fan theory predicts

    Pete Barton to return on Christmas Day? A new fan theory predicts

    Following on from Ross Barton‘s return, a new fan theory has predicted Pete Barton will be the next one to return to Emmerdale.

    Ross returned to Emmerdale in October after six years away. He originally left the Dales in 2018 to start a new life following the horrendous acid attack. Now a new fan theory has suggested that Ross’s brother Pete could be on his way back to Emmerdale.

    Pete left Emmerdale in 2020 to join Ross in Liverpool. Could he once again follow his brother and head back to the village?

    Who was Pete Barton in Emmerdale?

    Pete is the eldest son of Emma and James Barton. Despite leaving the village to be with Ross, Pete’s rivalry with his brother was the main focus during his time in Emmerdale.

    Pete quickly grew fond of Debbie Dingle, but on their wedding day he discovered that she had been cheating on him with Ross. A helicopter then crashed into the venue and Debbie was seriously injured.

    While Debbie was in hospital, Ross and Pete had a fight. Pete believed he’d killed Ross and so abandoned his body in the woods. it was later revealed that Ross was alive and well.

    The two continued to fight, and after assaulting Ross once again, Pete was sentenced to a short stint in prison.

    During his time in the Dales, Pete was unlucky in love. His marriage to Debbie was annulled, he made pass at his aunt Moira and had failed relationships with Rhona and Tracy.

    Fan theory predicts Pete Barton return to Emmerdale

    Ross Barton returned to Emmerdale in October as part of Billy Fletcher’s illegal boxing story. Ross was revealed to be Billy’s opponent. Though he has since attempted to distance himself from the underground boxing scene in order to be a good father to son Moses.

    Last week, Holly Barton also returned to Emmerdale. The character died of an overdose back in 2016, however she appeared as part of mum Moira‘s dream while she was having an operation for the removal of a tumour.

    Now a fan theory has predicted that Pete will be next. Taking to X, they wrote: “September – Emma appeared. October – Ross returned. November – Holly appeared. And on Christmas Day Pete Barton is returning!!!”

    When questioned further, the poster wrote: “It’s mostly just a theory but he hasn’t acted in ages and him starting again now seems like suspiciously perfect timing.”

    Actor Anthony Quinlan, who also played Gilly Roach in Hollyoaks, has had two acting credits since leaving Emmerdale – a short film titled Asphyxiate, and an episode of crime drama London Kills. But will he be making his way back to the Dales?

  • Sam Dingle character change spotted by fans – and they’re here for it

    Sam Dingle character change spotted by fans – and they’re here for it

    It’s been a big year for the Dingles, and with it, Emmerdale fans have noticed a change in Sam Dingle – and they’re here for it.

    The last few months alone have seen Sam come to terms with his son being sent to prison, the revelation that his sister has been abused by her husband and his dad’s death.

    Fans believe that these big events have seen Sam become more emotionally intelligent.

    Sam’s big year

    Following on from 2023, which saw Sam’s wife Lydia assaulted by her childhood friend Craig, things continued to be tough for Sam. Earlier this year, Sam’s son Samson teamed up with local thug Josh Cope. They carried out a robbery at The Hide. Unfortunately, waiter Matty Barton was there and a scuffle broke out. Samson ended up being stabbed and then lied to the police that Matty had stabbed him on purpose.

    Matty was jailed, but Samson eventually admitted the truth. He was then sentenced to four years in prison. The whole situation took its toll on Sam, who was heartbroken to lose his son.

    Then came Belle’s revelation that husband Tom had been emotionally and physically abusing her for the past year. Sam was furious that anyone would hurt his little sister.

    More bad news came last month with Zak Dingle‘s death. Sam and Cain travelled to Scotland together to retrieve Zak’s body and bring him home to Emmerdale. Sam, Cain and Belle then came together to give Zak the perfect Dingle farewell.

    Emmerdale fans praise Sam Dingle character change

    Throughout Sam’s tough time, fans have noticed how well Sam has dealt with everything and have commented that he appears more mature.

    Taking to Reddit, one fan wrote: “Sam has always been made out to be not very bright and pretty useless but recently his character is changing for the better. Now he is often the voice of reason and keeps his head when others are losing theirs.

    “For example he was at the hospital trying to support Cain and talking sense into him. Another one was when he was telling Cain and others not to go all guns blazing punching Tom because it wouldn’t help Belle’s situation.”

    They added: “He was great with Lydia after her attack and does his duty towards Amelia and the baby. I think he is finally coming into his own and showing some leadership and good qualities. He’s always played second fiddle to Cain but he’s showing some strength of character now.”

    Others agreed, with another viewer writing: “I love Sam at the moment, he’s like the real head of the family, think Lydia has brought the best out in him,” while a third fan commented that Sam is “emotionally intelligent.”

  • Emmerdale releases dramatic trailer for Tom’s demise and fans couldn’t be happier – but it’s not over yet

    Emmerdale releases dramatic trailer for Tom’s demise and fans couldn’t be happier – but it’s not over yet

    A new dramatic Emmerdale trailer has dropped and it teases Tom King’s demise – but it’s safe to say, Tom doesn’t plan on going down without a fight.

    Fans have rejoiced upon seeing the new trailer, which shows the walls closing in on Tom King at long last. But it’s not over just yet as Tom doesn’t plan on going quietly.

    Here’s what the trailer tells us about Tom’s final chapter.

    Tom and Amelia in Emmerdale

    Following his prolonged abuse of Belle in Emmerdale, Tom has embarked on a relationship with Amelia Spencer – perhaps because she is one of few residents in the village gullible enough to believe his lies.

    After Belle revealed the extent of her husband’s abuse, the Dingles and other villagers closed ranks around her, but Amelia continues to defend Tom despite being on the receiving end of his cruel tongue herself.

    On bonfire night, after seeing the Guy was dressed like him, Tom took out his anger on Amelia. Tom accused her of acting like a stray dog and called her pathetic, but she still forgave him.

    Last week, Tom went even further and told Amelia she was acting like a hooker. However, the trailer reveals that Tom will need Amelia on side if he is to win in court against Belle.

    New Emmerdale trailer

    The new trailer shows Tom breaking into Jacob’s Fold and spying on Belle as Charity’s voice reassures Belle that Tom’s bail conditions mean he can’t go near her.

    Tom is then shown telling Sam the police will believe his word over Belle’s because “all they have to do is ask Amelia how I treat her, which is like the perfect gentleman.”

    However, the trailer quickly shows a concerned looking Amelia, while another shot shows Tom pulling Amelia out of the house while she shouts “you’re hurting me”.

    More worryingly, Tom is shown pushing Belle against a car as he shouts at her: “You always have to take things too far.” Meanwhile, a worried Cain and Charity are shown in a car rushing to the rescue. With the walls closing in, what will Tom do?

    Fans rejoice

    On Emmerdale’s Instagram page, fans were happy to see the end is nigh for Tom. One viewer wrote: “Yes yes yes. I can’t wait for Tom to get caught,” while another added: “Please let Tom finally be caught! Belle deserves justice. I think Amelia is starting to see who he really is. The sooner Tom goes, the better.”

    A third fan said Tom’s downfall “can’t come soon enough,” with a fourth writing: “not before time.”

    Others fans are eager for Tom to get his comeuppance and don’t want to see him die. One viewer said: “Just let Tom be arrested, Belle gets her say, then everyone believes her, Belle gets Piper back.”

    Another fan was more extreme in their view, writing: “I swear if the writers kill him off and he doesn’t get caught, I will stop watching.”

    Whatever the soap has planned, things don’t look good for Tom.

    Bradley Johnson asks for parenting advice at 4am after welcoming first baby and sharing adorable pictures

    Emmerdale star Bradley Johnson, who plays Vinny Dingle, recently welcomed his first child and has been asking fans for parenting advice – at 4am!

    Bradley and his fiancée Sammie Johnstone confirmed that they’d became parents over the weekend (Saturday, November 23), after the Vinny Dingle actor announced the pregnancy back in June.

    Although an exciting time for the pair, reality has hit hard as both parents were awake at 4am wondering how to settle their baby.

    Bradley Johnson becomes a dad

    The Vinny Dingle actor revealed June that he and Sammie would soon be “mum and dad” and shared an image of a cake with the words: “baby coming December 2024.”

    However, said baby arrived early. Bradley confirmed via Instagram on Saturday that the baby boy arrived on November 19.

    In the Instagram post on November 23, Bradley wrote: “Albie Jake Johnson. You are absolutely everything.” An adorable image of Albie was included alongside a snap of a wooden plaque revealing Albie’s date of birth and weight – 6lbs 13oz.

    Bradley’s Emmerdale co-stars congratulated him on the news, with on screen mum Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, writing: “You know how proud me and Al are of you and Sammie – we love you loads… CONGRATULATIONS… we are available for baby sitting whenever, sending the biggest amount of love.”

    Samantha Power – who recently joined as Tina Dingle – wrote: “Oh my god! Just gorgeous! Massive congrats to you all xxx”. Amy Walsh, who plays Tracy Metcalfe, wrote: “Awwwwwwww congratulations!!! He’s early!!!! Hope you’re all doing amazing! He’s beautiful xxxx” and Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden, added: “He is delicious. Sending my love to all three of you. Congrats xx.”

    The new dad asks for advice

    Like most new parents, the sleepless nights are taking their toll on the couple.

    On Sunday night, Bradley shared a clip to his Instagram Stories, where he asked fans: “Just asking for a friend, when you’ve burped, changed nappy, fed, and repeated that 10 times. And it’s been two hours and your baby is still looking at you like that… [pulls silly face] and every time you put them down, they go… [screams] – just what do you do?”

    Samantha could be heard laughing in the background as she told Bradley it was 4am.  He then joked “4 o’clock? Got work tomorrow. Gonna need a lot of make-up on these eyes.”

    The clip was captioned: “Smashing this parenting,” with a laughing emoji along with a time stamp which showed it was 4.14 in the morning. It gets easier, Bradley, we promise.

    Who does Bradley Johnson play in Emmerdale?

    Bradley has starred in Emmerdale as Vinny Dingle since 2019.

    Despite being raised by Mandy Dingle, it was recently revealed that his real mother is Tina Dingle. Something that was kept a secret from Vinny, much to his disgust.

    During his time in the village, Vinny has suffered much hardship. After welcoming his dad back into his life, Paul soon started to abuse Vinny – both physically and emotionally.

    Vinny was later left heartbroken when his wife Liv Flaherty died during the big storm week in 2022.
