In a significant development for Emmerdale, Natalie J Robb has shared her heartfelt reaction to the return of Ross Barton

, played by Michael Parr. Having rejoined the cast after a six-year absence, Parr’s comeback is met with excitement, especially

from Robb, who portrays his on-screen aunt, Moira Dingle.

Natalie expressed her joy in an interview with Radio Times, stating, “I love Mikey! He’ll kill me for calling him that.” Their friendship has endured since his departure, and she is thrilled to have him back on set, emphasizing the importance of familiar faces in the show. “He looks exactly the same and hasn’t aged a bit—how dare he!” she joked.

However, Moira is currently facing a challenging time following her diagnosis of a brain tumor. While Robb was tight-lipped about whether Ross would offer support during this difficult period, she acknowledged the tension that their shared history would bring. After all, Ross is linked to a tragic past, having been involved in the death of Moira’s mother. “Things were always going to be tense,” she explained.

Fans can expect Ross’s return to come with the trademark drama he’s known for, as Natalie hinted that he would undoubtedly stir up trouble. “Ross is back with a bang, of course,” she remarked, alluding to the chaos he might bring.

In the midst of these challenges, Natalie assured fans that Cain, played by Jeff Hordley, would be there for Moira, even as he hits rock bottom himself. The interconnectedness of their family dynamics is a central theme, especially as they navigate their struggles together. “It’s not just one person on this roller coaster ride; it’s very much about how this affects the whole family,” she noted.

As Emmerdale prepares for this compelling storyline, viewers can anticipate an emotional journey filled with family ties, past grievances, and the ongoing fight for support and healing. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding drama!
