Emmerdale is about to experience a storm as Michael Parr’s character, Ross Barton, makes his way back to the hamlet.
When Ross first joined the soap opera in 2013, he was unquestionably a fan favorite, so when he left in 2018, six years ago, audiences were devastated.
However, the ITV soap opera has subsequently declared that the rogue is headed back.
Little is known as to why he’s returning, but Emmerdale teased that he has “old wounds still to heal”, and he’ll rub up some villagers the wrong way – sounds like Ross!
Speaking about his return, Parr 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.”
Emmerdale 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.”
When he was last in the show, Ross was best known for his tumultuous relationships with Donna Windsor (Verity Rushworth) and Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb).
He was also involved in a powerful storyline where he came to terms with life-changing injuries following an acid attack.
