Emmerdale fans think they’ve uncovered the real story behind Rebecca White’s death, suspecting Ross Barton might have been more involved than he’s letting on.
Ross, played by Michael Parr, made a surprise return to the show this week after six years away. His last on-screen appearance was in 2018 when he left the village with Rebecca White, played by Emily Head, and her son, Sebastian White, who is Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) biological child. The pair set off to start fresh together.
Though often mentioned off-screen due to his child, Moses, with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), Ross hadn’t been involved on-screen. His return this week, however, saw him caught up in an illegal fighting ring storyline involving Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle).
During an underground boxing match aired on October 28, fans were shocked to see Ross revealed as Billy’s unexpected opponent. But it was on Wednesday’s episode (October 30) that Ross shared a shocking update about a former character.
As he reconnected with Charity, Ross shared what had happened since he left Emmerdale in 2018. When Charity inquired about Rebecca, he revealed that they had parted ways a while ago and that, sadly, Rebecca had died.
Ross explained that Rebecca had entrusted him with Seb, sharing that she had gone to the hospital for a “routine operation,” which was meant to be low-risk. Heartbreakingly, Seb later received “the call” informing them of Rebecca’s passing. Ross shared, “Turns out I was still her next of kin. They said it was a one-in-a-thousand chance.”
In a gut-wrenching detail, he disclosed, “Her heart just stopped. I put Seb to bed that night, not knowing he’d wake up without a mother.”
Fans, however, are increasingly suspicious about Ross’s role in Rebecca’s untimely death. On an Emmerdale fan page, one viewer expressed frustration, saying, “This has really upset me. Did they have to kill her off?”
Some viewers even speculated that Ross might have orchestrated her death. One fan commented, “I don’t trust him. He definitely killed her.”
Echoing that sentiment, another added, “Something’s off. He’s not telling Charity the full story.” A final fan predicted, “I’m betting Ross is involved.”
