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?
