Ross Barton’s life went further off the rails in this evening’s Emmerdale after he accidentally set fire to the sleeve of the jacket he was wearing following another drugs binge. The village bad boy has been nearing breaking point following a string of traumas, including the death of his mother, father and brother Finn as well as an acid attack that has left him with facial scarring.
In recent weeks, Ross has become increasingly dependent on drugs that have made his behaviour more erratic.

As Tracy swung into action and extinguished the flames, Ross was left visibly distressed by his own actions.
Next week’s drama on Emmerdale will see Ross make another reckless choice that ends up putting the life of his son in danger. Following another visit from local dealer Gaz, a drug-fuelled ross holds another party, but struggles with his comedown later as he looks after Moses.
