Emmerdale fans fear Ross Barton has died after he suffers shock collapse over his drug abuse
EMMERDALE fans fear Ross Barton has died after he suffered a shock collapse.
The mechanic - who is played by actor Mike Parr in the ITV soap - collapsed in tonight's episode at the pavilion after taking drugs to stay awake and look after his son Moses.
"Moses, get daddy his phone so I can get help," he desperately said to his son as Moses ran off alone.
But as he desperately crawled to get to his phone, it all became too much and Ross collapsed with fans fearing he had died.

Earlier in the week Tracy Metcalfe warns Ross, played by departing actor Mike Parr, that he needs to stop taking drugs as his behaviour is getting out of control.
Meanwhile Ross is chuffed when Moira Barton agrees to give him some work but Cain isn’t happy with this arrangement.
Later, Ross promises his new BFF Ryan Stocks, played by James Moore, that he’s going to stop taking drugs.
But it doesn’t last and Ross – who was permanently scarred when acid was thrown in his face earlier this year – soon throws another drug- fuelled house party.
He struggles to cope with his comedown as he takes care of little Moses, the son he shares with Charity Dingle.
While out with Moses, Ross pulls out a small bag of drugs to take the edge off his comedown and he’s soon full of energy as he plays football with his little boy.
But suddenly Ross collapses in agony, clutching his chest as he falls to the ground.
While Ross writhes around in pain, little Moses heads off towards the bridge.
Will anyone find them before there’s another tragic incident in the village?
Ross has been sinking deeper and deeper into drug addiction since Rebecca White disappeared, leading him to believe she’d dumped him after rekindling their romance.
Emmerdale fans know that Rebecca is actually being held captive by a deranged nurse who is drugging her.
Will Rebecca and Ross find their way back to each other before it’s too late?
