Ross Barton Ross Barton is the son of James and brother of Pete and Finn. He currently works at Dingle & Dingle.

Ross first arrived in the show on 9th July 2013 when he carjacked Laurel Thomas as she dropped Rhona Goskirk off at a local pharmacy. Terrified, Laurel would spend the next few months trying to track down her attacker to find out why he'd selected her. Ross arrived in the village later in the year after becoming involved in a scam along with Cain Dingle. When Ross was shot because of Cain's actions, he arrived at Butler's Farm, where she realised that Ross was John Barton's nephew. When Ross's family farm went bust in December of the same year, the entire family moved to Emmerdale. Read More.
