Mike Parr is back in Emmerdale as Ross Barton after leaving in 2018
Emmerdale fave Mike Parr has opened up about returning to the soap in his role ofbad boy Ross Barton.
“This is what we want to do. It meant that I got to move back up north again. It just came at the right time."What is it that brings Ross back to the village? "Well, yeah, there's always going to be a rivalry if there's a potential love interest in the middle of it all. But Billy is quite a tall, athletic, handsome lad. You know, Ross has met his match.
"And there's a Frederick Nietzsche quote 'under peaceful conditions the warlike man will attack himself'. And I think that's really Ross’ mind frame. He can't handle quiet times because he's just such a traumatized person that he's always looking for conflict because he doesn't know how to handle peace."
Ross still has family in the village. He's got Moira, he's got Matty. How is he going to react to seeing them? "I'm very lucky that I've done martial arts since I was 19. I'm a big UFC fan, that's my favourite sport to watch. But yes, I think my martial arts training has come in handy for Ross' scenes."
