ITV Emmerdale triple return 'sealed' as Ross Barton star issues plea for fans
Emmerdale star Mike Parr opened up about which of his former co-stars he would like to see return to the ITV soap.
Mike, 38, made his first appearance as Ross Barton in 2013 and was soon revealed as the nephew of Moira Dingle (Natalie Robb).
Ross was joined by his father James (Bill Ward) later that year, closely followed by his two brothers, Pete (Anthony Quinlan) and Finn (Joe Gill).
Ross had little left for him in the village following the death of his mother, father and brother and he departed in 2018, with Pete joining him in Liverpool two years later.
However, Ross made an explosive return to the Dales in October. During an unlicensed boxing match Ross was unveiled as Billy Fletcher's (Jay Kontzle) opponent.

He's not that much older than me but he felt older as soon as we got here because he had walked the walk with soaps and being in Hollyoaks.
"He really showed me and Joe the ropes. There were so many things that we didn't know how to handle. Quinny is a lovely, soft, fun person to be around so I would love it."

"I would love to work with her again," he said. "When you're acting and the scenes are going well, some people are more giggly but she was the biggest giggler that I've ever worked with."

Asked about which character he would choose to bring back, Mike opted for fan favourite Robert Sugden, played by Ryan Hawley.
Fans have been begging for a Robert return since he was sent to prison in 2019, largely because they want a reunion between him and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).
Mike said: "The fan favourite is going to be Robert. I would love to bring him back just to satisfy the audience because I see how thirsty they are for Ryan Hawley's return.
"He was a lot of fun to work with and when Robert and Aaron were together, they made a good villain for Ross to go against. So yeah bring him back so I can kick his a**."
