On tonight’s Emmerdale, questions are still being asked why Ross Barton is back after several years.

After looking at his family's grave stones, Ross heads into the village where he bumps into Matty, who is surprised to see him back home. But it is not all sunshine and rainbows as a friendly chat of asking where Rebecca and his son Seb are quickly turns sour.

As they agree to meet up later, Matty calls Charity to warn her Ross is around. After the phone call, Charity and Mack try to remain positive as Moses comes home to them.

Ross visits Charity who tells him off for letting Moses see him at the fight, which he lost, but she warns him that she will find out why he is staying around. As Ross drinks his tea, he asks if they should take a selfie - claiming to be the best at taking them.

Charity takes his phone, but tries to call Rebecca instead to find out why he is back. After no answer, Ross is forced to reveal that Rebecca is dead and that they had split up for a while after leaving the village. Ross tells Charity that Rebecca had to go into hospital for a routine treatment, and her heart stopped.

When asked about Seb, Ross tells Charity that he is living with Rebecca’s family as he wasn’t his son. He tells her that he is better off without him.

Hearing the door open, Ross fakes that he ‘made a move’ on Charity to which he tells Mack that if he had come in five minutes before it would have been awkward. Ross leaves the house, leaving Chas and Mack looking at each other in confusion but worried that Ross will cause trouble.

Not wanting to miss another couple out of his homecoming, Ross then pays a visit to Billy, who is spending the cash he won from the illegal fighting on pizzas for his kids' tea. Approaching him, Ross reveals that a lot of people lost money after betting he would win their fight and tells him he has set a rematch.

Just before he goes, he reminds Billy that he knows from experience Dawn's history with drug abuse. Earlier on in the episode Aaron was accused of punching Billy, but what will Dawn do when she finds out what is really going on? Could Ross staying around cause several breakups and what will Billy do if he is expected fight once again?
