Emmerdale spoilers! Pete Barton finds Ross with his stash of stolen cars

Ross Barton

Pete is shocked when he discovers brother Ross has been hiding stolen cars at Butler's Farm. But they're unaware the police are on the way...

First episode

Ross Barton hasn't been in a good mood for months. It's understandable. His life has been turned upside down and inside out by an acid attack which left him scarred for life.
