    Emmerdale review of the week: Ross is back! Rebecca’s dead! And Nicola’s on the warpath!

    This week’s Emmerdale review is full of disbelief! Because we’ve had some very bad news about Rebecca and we’re really sad about it. But there have been some moments that made us laugh, too.

    Here’s what’s got us sobbing and chuckling in this week’s Emmerdale review.

    Ross Barton is back!

    We were delighted to hear Ross was coming back! He’s got so much history with people in the village, and we were with him every step of the way when he was coming to terms with the injuries from his acid attack.

    But we didn’t like his arrival

    But as much as we love Ross, we really dislike this whole bare-knuckle fighting storyline. Billy may be the most boring man in the village, and he’s not made more interesting by punching other men in the face.

    Plus the whole set-up barely makes sense – if it was so important for Billy to lose the fight, why not just tell him that? It’s hardly an honest game anyway, so the whole thing being a set-up wouldn’t be a surprise, surely?

    Anyway, that aside, the reveal that Ross was Billy’s opponent didn’t thrill us.

    BUT despite his yawnworthy arrival, and the knowledge that there is more boxing boredom to come, we are loving Ross being back in the village.

    Of course one of the best things about Ross is him putting Mack firmly into his place. We especially enjoyed him calling Mack a “soft turnip” which is exactly what we’re going to call him from now on.

    But there’s bad news too, in our Emmerdale review

    We loved Rebecca White. Her total disregard for morals, her funny comments, and her redemption storyline after her brain injury all made her one of our fave characters. And we really loved her and Ross bonding over their life-changing injuries (not to mention their love of Real Hairdressers of Harrogate).

    So we were devastated to discover that she and Ross had broken up – only to get the news seconds later that Rebecca is dead! WHAT? It’s such sad news, and yet another young woman killed off in soap, albeit off-screen.

    Bring back Adam!

    We were thrilled to hear Moira’s gone to visit her son Adam. And we are hoping she brings him back with her. Yes, we’ve been hoping that since he left in 2018, but honestly, we’re never giving this up. Never.

    Don’t get on Nicola’s bad side

    We are LOVING Nicola’s one-woman campaign against Tom. She’s totally got the measure of him (finally) and she is not giving in. We were so pleased that she took little Carl down to the police station partly because it was the right thing to do, and partly because it proved to her son that she had his back – especially when muppet dad Jimmy clearly doesn’t.

    Plus we’re still loving DS Foy. More of him, please!

  • Ross is back and Rebecca is dead so who will he hook up with next? From Victoria to Tracy, fans start to speculate

    Ross is back and Rebecca is dead so who will he hook up with next? From Victoria to Tracy, fans start to speculate

    Ladies of Emmerdale watch out – Ross Barton is back in town, and he’s a single man. This week’s episodes of the soap followed the fallout as the village badboy returned, setting the cat among the pigeons.

    As he refamilarised himself with his neighbours, Ross dropped the news that Rebecca had died. Rebecca and Ross originally left the village together with her son Seb, for a new life in Liverpool, back in 2018.

    Ross reveals what happened to Rebecca and Seb

    However, it seems like their happily ever after wasn’t to last – with the pair first breaking up, and then Rebecca dying during a routine surgery. Last night (Thursday, October 31) Ross revealed that Seb had gone to live with one of Rebecca’s relatives – leaving him as a single man.

    This left fans wondering who Ross’s future love interests might be.

    Emmerdale fans place their bets on future love for Ross

    Writing on a Reddit thread, fans shared their thoughts on who Ross might set his sights on.

    “Charity, Tracy or Dawn,” suggested one fan.

    Ross has history with both Charity and Dawn of course; with Charity being the mother of his child, and Dawn being a former sex worker who bonded with Ross over their past trauma and addiction issues.

    With Ross having clashed with Billy in the ring, the pair are already at loggerheads. Can writers resist pairing him with Dawn?

    Sparks have flown between Ross and Charity since his return – to Mack’s chagrin – will history repeat itself? And, as for Tracy, she’s newly single too, since the recent exit of Nate from the village.

    “If Seb returns, I could see Victoria and Ross bond and grow closer looking after him,” said another.

    “That Jade,” suggested a third, wondering whether there could be more between him and his dodgy fight club promoter than simple business.

    “Probably Ella,” another said – not a bad shout, given her relationship to Liam appears to be on its last legs.

    Who would you like to see Ross with? One thing’s for sure: whoever he does end up with, knowing Ross, it’s bound to be messy.

  • Ross is tricking everyone with his ‘lies’ over Seb’s whereabouts, fans convinced

    Ross is tricking everyone with his ‘lies’ over Seb’s whereabouts, fans convinced

    Fans of Emmerdale aren’t convinced that Ross Barton is telling the truth about Seb’s whereabouts. During last night’s episode of the soap (airing Thursday October 31), Ross revealed that little Seb is now in Bristol following his mother’s death.

    As Victoria questioned Ross over what had happened, Ross told her that Robert had signed off on the paperwork as he sent Seb to live with one of Rebecca’s (very few) living relatives – a hitherto unmentioned aunt.

    However, Ross’s story didn’t add up for many, with some Emmerdale fans questioning whether Ross is telling the truth about Rebecca’s death and Seb’s absence.

    Emmerdale fans predict Ross is lying about Seb

    As the episode aired, fans took to social media to rip Ross‘s story to bits. And some thought that he wasn’t being entirely truthful with Victoria about Seb’s whereabouts.

    “We don’t know the name of this aunt in Bristol yet. What if papers signed were to hand Seb off to Aunt Vic – but Ross has pulled a scam to presented someone else as ‘Aunt Vic’, and Seb has has been abducted by Jade or whatever gangster name she goes by and her squad?” asked one suspicious fan.

    “So Rebecca is dead and Seb was sent to some random relative in Bristol with Robert’s blessing? No way,” said another.

    “It’s a lie about Rebecca ain’t it? Seb with Ross and childminder somewhere?? She’ll come looking for him and baby?” a third suggested.

    Yesterday fans insisted there was more to the story about Rebecca’s death than Ross was telling. So could this be it? Where is Seb?

    What happened to Rebecca?

    Earlier this week, Ross shocked Charity by revealing that Rebecca had died, having taken a turn for the worse during surgery.

    “Rebecca’s dead. Me and Rebecca, we’d been split up a while. Pretty amicable in the end as it goes, I was still getting to see Seb,” he said. “Then one day she called me, saying she had to go into hospital for a routine operation. Nothing serious but could I look after Seb. No problem.”

    He also added: “”We were both having a pizza when we got the call. Turns out I was still listed as her next of kin. They said it was a one in a thousand chance, her heart just stopped and that was it.”

    If Rebecca is really dead, where does that leave Seb – is he with the aunt? Or is there more to it?

  • Rebecca is not really dead and 2 other theories about what’s really going on as Ross reveals her death

    Rebecca is not really dead and 2 other theories about what’s really going on as Ross reveals her death

    Ross Barton’s return to Emmerdale has been nothing short of dramatic, and as the fan favourite instantly ruffled feathers among the village residents, he also revealed Rebecca White’s fate. He’s rubbed Mackenzie up the wrong way and been involved in illegal fights with Billy, proving he’s back to cause trouble.

    Ross has also wasted no time in dropping some bombshells. He’s revealed that his ex-girlfriend Rebecca is actually dead, after Charity quizzed him on her whereabouts. Ross claimed Rebecca passed away during an operation but didn’t provide a lot of details about her death.

    Emmerdale fans are understandably sceptical about his claims. Some are wondering if Rebecca is really dead while others are convinced Ross was involved. Here’s some theories about Rebecca’s sudden death…

    3 theories about Rebecca in Emmerdale

    1. Rebecca isn’t really dead

    It seems many Emmerdale fans aren’t convinced by Ross’ claims about Rebecca dying. Some have insisted she isn’t actually dead and Ross is simply lying in a bid to get sympathy.

    “Nah not buying this Rebecca story. He’s playing the sympathy card!” one Emmerdale fan wrote on social media. Another said: “Rebecca DID NOT die I loved her so much.”

    Elsewhere, someone else said: “Something about Ross’s story doesn’t add up, a routine op kills her when she had a TBI to contend with? Why wouldn’t the writers use that if she was really dead… he lyingggg.”

    2. Ross killed her

    Could Ross have been involved in Rebecca passing away? Some Emmerdale fans seem to think so.

    “We know Rebecca is dead which was plainly obvious a long time ago but I definitely think Ross killed her!” one fan predicted on social media.

    “Wonder if Ross is lying about Rebecca?” another questioned, while a third added: “Ross killed Rebecca!”

    Does Ross have some skeletons in his closet?!

    3. Was Billy involved?

    As Billy has been heavily involved in Ross’ return storyline, it could be possible that he was involved in Rebecca’s death even if it does seem unlikely.

    A fan said: “I wonder if Billy killed Rebecca or someone Billy knows killed Rebecca or Billy killed Rebecca by accident.”

    Others suggested that Jade, the organiser of the unlicensed fights who has been threatening Billy, could be Rebecca in disguise.

    One social media user said: “Time for another one of my wild theories… no way Rebecca is dead in Emmerdale. Ross is lying – and I think that fight woman could be Rebecca (recast) and in disguise…”

  • Robert Sugden to return for Seb? Renewed hope from fans

    Robert Sugden to return for Seb? Renewed hope from fans

    Emmerdale fans have made no secret of their hopes for Robert Sugden to finally return to the soap, following his exit in 2019. Robert was a fan favourite on the soap, but exited after killing Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner.

    However, some fans believe a Robert return is now looking likelier than ever. Ross has revealed that Rebecca, who shares son Seb with Robert, has died, with Seb heading to stay with distant relatives.

    Could we see Robert return to seek custody of his son following the news of Rebecca’s death?

    Emmerdale: Ross reveals Rebecca’s dead

    Ross informed Charity that Rebecca died, although he did not specify when. He revealed he and Rebecca had split up at the time of her death, which occurred during routine surgery.

    “Rebecca’s dead. Me and Rebecca, we’d been split up a while. Pretty amicable in the end as it goes, I was still getting to see Seb,” he told Charity. “Then one day she called me, saying she had to go into hospital for a routine operation. Nothing serious but could I look after Seb. No problem.”

    He also added: “We were both having a pizza when we got the call. Turns out I was still listed as her next of kin. They said it was a one in a thousand chance, her heart just stopped and that was it.”

    Ross then said Seb had been taken to Bristol to live with Rebecca‘s aunt rather than stay with him.

    Where is Robert?

    Robert Sugden is currently serving a 14-year prison sentence for murdering Lee Posner, who raped his half-sister Victoria. Robert went on the run following the murder but police eventually caught up with him.

    Lee’s death was accidental and occurred during a confrontation between him and Robert. However, Lee was also hit by his brother Luke, leaving fans uncertain whether Robert is solely to blame for him dying.

    Fans predict Robert is returning

    Emmerdale fans are convinced that Rebecca’s death will spark the return of Robert, despite him currently being in prison. With plenty of drama going on amongst the Sugdens at the moment, it seems like a perfect time for Robert to be released.

    Taking to social media, one person said: “It does have a feeling they are setting things up for a Robert return, they’ve brought his brother in, who they’ve paired with his (ex) husband and the love of his life, so a tug a war/love triangle there, now his son has lost his mother, a tug of war there too?”

    Another added: “So Rebecca is dead and Seb was sent to some random relative in Bristol with Robert’s blessing? No way,” while somebody else said: “Surely, social services would’ve reached out to Robert’s side of the family before dumping Seb into the system..?”

    Other shared their hopes for Robert to be returning sooner rather than later. One fan said: “Definitely think Robert will be the Christmas return,” and another wrote: “Robert is coming back, isn’t he?”

  • What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ross revealed what happened to Rebecca and Nicola did the right thing over Tom – for once!

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Ross revealed what happened to Rebecca and Nicola did the right thing over Tom – for once!

    In Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday, October 30), Ross Barton stirred up trouble in the Dales – and he’s only just got back.

    Considering the mere mention of him caused trouble between Charity Dingle and Mack – you have to give him props.

    Here’s what else happened in Emmerdale tonight.

    Emmerdale tonight: Ross explained everything

    Ross was standing over James Barton’s grave. Suited and booted in his usual tracksuit, he called out hello to cousin Matty. They shared a brief catch-up, where Ross indicated a lot had changed in his life…

    He then went to see Moses, but had no luck as he was with Matty and Amy. Despite this, he confirmed to Charity that he’d be sticking around to spend time with his son. Charity, safe to say, was not too keen.

    After a parenting lesson, Ross tried to get round Charity, but she only wanted answers. Ross weirdly then wanted a selfie for Moses. Seems strange for a first return…

    Ross gave his two pence on Mack, but Charity found out he and Rebecca had ended. Not only that… she is dead. Yes, Rebecca White has died. 

    Ross explained he was left with Seb one day while Rebecca went in for a routine operation. However he was then told that Rebecca’s heart stopped during surgery. Since then, he and Seb were close until Seb was taken to live with Rebecca’s aunt in Bristol. Ross thought it was probably for the best.

    Nicola reported Tom in Emmerdale tonight

    Jimmy headed over to the B&B to let Tom know he was welcome back to the King residence at any point. Nicola wasn’t too keen… rightly so!

    She was still angry at Tom, and came up with an idea. She and Carl headed to the police station, and Carl gave a statement about the missing tablet…

    The police said they’ll review the recording and get back when they have more information.

    Nicola got a shock when she got back to see Tom moved back in. However, the police turned up just in time to take Tom in for questioning.

    Jimmy took his anger out by ranting at Nicola, but she insisted the police needed to know. Will they make up? And is this finally Tom’s downfall?

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Moira left

    Matty and Moira were still happy to go away, despite the shock of Ross turning up. Cain was more than surprised to hear when they told him… not exactly the news he expected over his morning cuppa.

    He came around to the idea of their tour to visit Adam, especially with Moira’s agreement that she’d be back before her operation.

    Nevertheless, Cain was struggling with the prospect of her going away.

    As Moira and Cain comforted each other both were painfully aware this could be a rehearsal for a more permanent farewell

    Aaron covered for Billy

    Dawn was not happy to see Aaron at the pub. Billy told her to back off, but she was interested to hear what he had to say when he suggested Billy might be hiding something…

    After Billy’s stern look, Aaron backed down. Will the truth come out?

    Billy hid money from Dawn and offered pizza, she shared concern, but he reassured her they would be okay…

    When bringing the pizzas in, he was confronted by Ross, who warned him he was in great danger. Ross said he had to fight again. We wonder how this one will go…

  • Michael Parr confirms fresh relationship status as Ross Barton has fans swooning

    Michael Parr confirms fresh relationship status as Ross Barton has fans swooning

    Ross Barton has returned to Emmerdale and is already causing trouble, but thankfully for actor Michael Parr, and his relationship status, things are far more settled off-screen.

    As Ross sets pulses racing with fans again during his shirtless appearances on-screen, it seems Michael is all loved-up in real life.

    Michael Parr and his relationship with Emmerdale co-star Isabel Hodgins

    During his initial stint playing Ross, Michael found love with his on-screen sister-in-law Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden.

    The pair kept their relationship a secret but went Instagram official in 2015 on a romantic trip to Paris. However, as Hello reports, a year later, he was quizzed on his ‘secret’ girlfriend and if she would miss him, following his soap exit.

    “Maybe. But I’m not saying who she is. It’s no one else’s business. Social media for relationships can be detrimental.

    “We’re happy so we don’t need to show off. But if we were to break up it would only be worse when the papers get hold of it,” he told The Mirror.

    In 2019, Michael and Isabel split after three years of dating. A source at the time told The Sun: “They drifted apart and felt it was better to be mates.

    “He has been throwing himself into his social life and has just been on a lads’ hol and she is focusing on work, they’re both young and want to follow their dreams.”

    Emmerdale return for Ross Barton

    As he returns to Emmerdale, Mike has certainly been a hit with fans all over again! His big entrance was as the Billy Fletcher’s boxing opponent and Mack was furious when he discovered Ross had brought his young son with Charity, Moses, to watch the fight.

    As Mack whisked Moses away, Ross got distracted leaving Billy free to deal the final blow and win the match. Something which is set to have huge consequences for them both.

    But fans aren’t bothered about the storyline as much as they are thrilled to have Ross back on screens again!

    “I fancy Ross even more now he has come back as a total [bleep],” shared a second viewer.

    Another agreed: “Bringing THE Ross Barton back was the best decision he is exactly what we needed thank you.”

    “Ross, your hand in marriage please. I’ll lick every one of your wounds clean,” a fourth saucy social media user commented.

    A fifth added: “Ross can bang on my door any time he likes.”

    Emmerdale star Michael Parr confirms relationship status

    Although Ross is well and truly single now he’s revealed he and Rebecca split up and she then died in a tragic incident during routine surgery, the same can’t be said for actor Michael.

    He has revealed he is happily in a relationship, telling The Mirror in a recent interview: “I’m in a very happy relationship. She’s amazing and has been very supportive.”

    Although Michael did not name his girlfriend in the chat, it is believed he’s in a relationship with Isabelle Du Plessis. The couple went public in a sweet Instagram post from July this year by posing during a holiday to Santorini.

  • Rebecca White in Emmerdale: Kidnap ordeal, romance with Ross Barton, and tragic death

    Rebecca White in Emmerdale: Kidnap ordeal, romance with Ross Barton, and tragic death

    Rebecca White arrived in Emmerdale in 2016 to catch up with her sister Chrissie, nephew Lachlan and dad Lawrence.

    But she most definitely stayed for the drama! Which, to be fair, was mostly caused by Rebecca herself.

    And now we’ve found out – via a newly returned Ross Barton – that Rebecca has tragically died.

    Here’s the lowdown on everything that happened during her time in the Dales.

    Rebecca White arrives in Emmerdale

    Always a fan of making an entrance, Rebecca arrived in Emmerdale unannounced and in a helicopter and promptly slapped Chrissie’s ex-husband Robert Sugden round the face.

    But it was all a big act! Because Rebecca and Robert were in cahoots, aiming to find out if Rebecca was Lawrence’s biological child.

    Secret romance

    With that mischief done and dusted, Rebecca made a move on Robert – who was involved with Aaron Dingle by then – and he responded.

    Rebecca and Robert’s affair was revealed by twisted nephew Lachlan in the pub on Rebecca’s 30th birthday. But Rebecca knew that Lachlan was the one who’d shot Lawrence and framed Andy Sugden for the crime and she was soon manipulating Lachlan into admitting it.

    With Lachlan behind bars and Chrissie furious about it, the sisters’ feud intensified.

    Who’s the daddy?

    But Rebecca was busy elsewhere, having a fling with Ross Barton and Robert Sugden. When she found out she was pregnant, she wasn’t sure who the dad was.

    With Robert confirmed as her baby daddy, Rebecca tried to build a mature co-parenting relationship with him.

    Totally failed, of course, but she tried.

    Car accident

    When baby Seb arrived, Rebecca and the rest of the Whites decided the only way to keep Robert out of their lives was to leave for Australia.

    So off they went, but Lachlan was annoyed about having to leave so he told Robert, who gave chase.

    Lachlan grabbed the wheel and the car hit a lorry head-on, killing both Chrissie and Lawrence, and leaving Rebecca with permanent brain damage.

    Lachlan’s reign of terror

    It was the start of Lachlan’s reign of terror in the village. He went on to kill best mate Gerry, tried to gas Liv and Robert – only to be discovered red-handed by Rebecca.

    He murdered a conman posing as Gerry’s uncle, and for a while viewers thought he had killed Rebecca too!

    But actually he had kidnapped poor Rebecca. He held her hostage in a remote cottage, complete with a creepy nurse in attendance.

    Eventually Rebecca got free, with some help from Belle, and Lachlan went to prison. Phew!

    What happened between Ross and Rebecca White in Emmerdale?

    With Ross Barton recovering from his acid attack, and Rebecca rebuilding her life with her brain injury, the pair began to grow close.

    Eventually, Ross decided to leave Emmerdale and go to live in Liverpool, and Rebecca went too with little Seb.

    And that was the last we’d heard of them – until Ross showed up at Billy’s dodgy bare-knuckle fight this week.

    Now we know that Rebecca died suddenly during an operation, and that her son Seb has gone to live with Rebecca’s aunt in Bristol. Ross seems pretty cut up about it, but is trying to put on a brave face. Will more come out about her demise in the coming days?

    Who played Rebecca White?

    Rebecca was played by Emily Head. She was known for her role as Carli in The Inbetweeners among other things. Since then she’s been in TV dramas including The Syndicate and Whitstable Pearl.

    Her dad is Buffy star Anthony Head and her sister is fellow actress Daisy Head.

  • Finally! Ross put Mack in his place – and it’s about time someone did!

    Finally! Ross put Mack in his place – and it’s about time someone did!

    Ross came face to face with Mack last night on Emmerdale. And, it’s safe to say that the two chaps didn’t get on.

    It was a clash of the egos as both men fought over Charity and Moses, but was it really a fair fight if one guy was always going to come out on top? (Cough cough, Ross!)

    It’s about time someone knocked Mack off of his self-made pedestal, and we’re glad that Ross took that task upon himself and succeeded.

    Emmerdale: Ross and Mack – immediate enemies

    Yesterday in the Dales (Tuesday, October 29), Mack watched Ross and Billy fight in the Warehouse before realising that Moses was watching his dad fight in the corner.

    Trying to protect Moses, Mack picked him up and took him out of the fight. He then went home and told Charity about Ross’ bare knuckle fighting.

    It wasn’t long before Ross turned up in a rage, demanding his son back. Mack and Ross then touched each other’s nerves as Ross mentioned Reuben. Mack retaliated and brought up the topic of Debbie.

    Well, that was enough to push Ross over the edge, punching Mack and causing him to drop to the floor in pain. Admittedly, we loved to see it!

    After yet another clash in the Woolpack, Mack and Ross faced off once more outside. Ross then suggested that Charity had stooped to a new low by marrying someone like Mack, before telling Mack that he was going to stick around in the village and make his life hell, ‘throwing a grenade’ into his life. Oh, this is going to be EX-PLOSIVE.

    Ross finally knocked Mack down a peg – and we’re thrilled

    We’ll be honest, we loved to see Ross see through Mack and tell him exactly what he thinks of him.

    The guy has only known Mack for all of two seconds yet he’s managed to call him out and build a fairly accurate picture of him already. And, this must be celebrated.

    Mack’s narcistic ego is often through the roof, and we’re not sure he even realises just how selfish, controlling and annoying he can be. Maybe Ross’ words will allow him to do some reflecting…

    We’re not saying that there isn’t a redeemable aspect of Mack, but he definitely needs to change his behaviour. And, Ross already bringing this up on the first meeting is perhaps a hopeful step in Mack trying to do better. If he can acknowledge his behaviour, then maybe he’ll do the work too. Or, are we just being optimistic here?

    Either way, we’re thrilled to see someone enter the village who will challenge Mack. This may just be the test he needs to step up as Charity’s husband for once before Ross swoops in and takes her from underneath his nose!

    3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Charity faces Ross and Nicola takes action against Tom

    In Emmerdale spoilers tonight, Charity gets a shock as a familiar face returns, but will she welcome ex-Ross Barton back with open arms? The past few nights have seen Ross involved in an illegal fight with Billy, but tonight we learn more about where he’s been since 2018.

    Elsewhere, Nicola continues to suspect Tom of intimidating Carl. He still seems scared at the mention of Tom, and Nicola decides enough is enough.

    Will she act out? We have a feeling she might…

    Previously in Emmerdale spoilers

    Tom has been intimidating and threatening Carl ever since the youth stole his tablet. The device was packed full of photos and videos that could all be evidence against him. The abuser had been using it to spy on Belle. In the hands of the police, it could seal his prison sentence…

    After threatening Carl, Tom managed to get his tablet back. In a desperate act, he smashed it up as Carl watched him scared through the window. Ever since, Carl has been terrified and trying to keep his distance.

    Nicola noticed scared looks, bad moods and a few flinches from Carl and decided to get to the bottom of it. The penny dropped and Nicola confronted Tom that evening, before threatening to call the police.

    Could she take the actions needed to protect her family? And convince Jimmy his nephew is not as innocent as he seems?
