Emmerdale Spoiler: Ross Barton Returns With Darkness Following: Rescue Ally or Celia’s Henchman?
While the villagers have not yet recovered from Celia’s cruelty, Emmerdale has another shock: Ross Barton, who has caused so much scandal, has officially returned.
From a past filled with riots, love affairs, and betrayal, Ross has always made everyone wary of his name.
And now, his appearance comes at a time when Emmerdale is immersed in Celia’s dark plot — making everyone fear that a new tragedy is about to happen.
Ross did not return with an apology or a desire to start his life over.
He returned with a cold look, deep eyes, and an attitude of “taking no side”. That is what made everyone excited: What will Ross do? Join Celia’s side and push Emmerdale to hell? Or become the trump card against violence?
Ross’s past is not clean. He’s been in gangs, he’s been involved in crime, he’s seen people get hurt because of his mistakes. So Ross seems to have stepped out of the shadows — and he knows how the shadows work. This time, he’s approaching the secret clues about the abandoned child, following shady deals. But is he doing this to sell out or save people? No one knows.
Ross has been seen meeting Celia at night. He’s been seen stalking locked houses. He’s even been seen talking tensely with members of the village — his words are serious enough to make it clear that Ross has something truly explosive.

Many believe Ross could be at the center of the upcoming battle between good and evil. He’s capable of battling wits, even strength, with Celia. But if he stands on the wrong side of justice? Emmerdale could be like a war zone.
Ross Barton is back, and his actions are enough to make the whole village hold its breath. The line between good and evil is thinner than ever. Who will he protect, who will he betray, and who will he extinguish or fan the flames of hell? No one knows yet. But one thing is certain: Ross is back just when Emmerdale needs someone to turn the tables.
