Emmerdale Fans Predict Love Triangle as Ross Barton’s Return Sparks Chemistry with Charity Dingle
Emmerdale viewers are abuzz with speculation over a possible rekindled romance between Charity Dingle, played by Emma Atkins, and her former lover Ross Barton, portrayed by Mike Parr, despite her marriage to Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb). The unexpected return of Ross, who shares a son, Moses, with Charity, has stirred emotions and set social media aflame with predictions of a love triangle in the making.
Ross’s dramatic return to the village unfolded in a high-stakes scene where he appeared as Billy Fletcher’s (Jay Kontzle) opponent in a bare-knuckle fight. Mack, who was present at the fight, was taken aback to see young Moses watching his father in such a violent setting, and he quickly intervened to remove the boy from the warehouse.
A heart-to-heart followed between Charity and Ross, during which he shared tragic news: his partner, Rebecca White (Emily Head), had recently passed away, leaving their son, Seb, in the care of an aunt in Bristol, reports Leeds Live. Charity listened sympathetically as Ross revealed his struggles in coping with the loss. However, she didn’t hold back in offering some parenting advice, suggesting he avoid bringing Moses to future illegal fights.
Ross, facing financial strain, also managed to secure a job at Butlers Farm, but Mack was visibly displeased with his wife’s ex-partner’s sudden presence in the village. Their interactions have been tense, with Mack trying to create distance between Charity and Ross, and a charged confrontation arose when Ross received an unsettling phone call while on the farm.
The tension reached a boiling point when Ross, already frazzled from issues with his boxing promoters, heard approaching footsteps in the barn and fired a warning shot into the ceiling—unaware that Mack and Moses were nearby. Mack, furious after the close call, criticized Ross’s parenting to Charity, who acknowledged that Ross needed to make improvements for Moses’s sake.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale fans took to social media to discuss the potential for romance between Charity and Ross. One viewer hinted at a spark between the two, tweeting, “The fact Charity did that face and is tempted by Ross I am seated and ready for a kiss to happen, please. She has had her head well and truly turned #emmerdale #charity #ross.”
As Ross settles back into village life, fans eagerly await to see if Charity’s old feelings will reignite, creating complications in her current marriage. The unfolding storyline has fans on the edge of their seats, anticipating what’s next for Charity, Mack, and Ross in the ever-dramatic world of Emmerdale.
