In a heartfelt update, Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb has shared her excitement about the return of Ross Barton,
played by Michael Parr. After six years away, Parr’s comeback has stirred emotions on set, particularly for Natalie,
who portrays Moira Dingle.
Natalie expressed her delight, saying, “I love Mikey! We’ve kept in touch over the years, and I’m thrilled he’s back.” She emphasized the joy of seeing familiar faces in the cast, noting that Michael hasn’t aged a bit, joking, “How dare he!”
However, Moira’s storyline is taking a dark turn as she faces a serious health crisis with a recent brain tumor diagnosis. While Natalie refrained from revealing whether Ross would be a source of support for Moira, she acknowledged that their shared history would lead to tension. “Moira did kill his mother, remember?” she pointed out, hinting at the complicated dynamics that will unfold.
As Ross returns “with a bang,” Natalie teased that he is sure to cause trouble, consistent with his character’s history. Despite this, she noted that Cain, Moira’s partner, will be there to support her, even as he faces his own struggles. “Cain will hit rock bottom, but we have to find the strength to support Moira,” she said, highlighting the interconnectedness of their family drama.
Natalie reflected on the broader implications of these story arcs, stating that the emotional roller coaster affects the entire family, not just individual characters. This theme of collective struggle resonates deeply, as fans anticipate how these developments will impact the Dingle family dynamics.
As the storyline progresses, viewers are eager to see how Ross’s return will intertwine with Moira’s challenges and the family’s journey. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping narrative in Emmerdale!
