Moses suddenly becomes terrified of his dad.

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale’s Ross Barton will be left devastated in upcoming scenes when his son Moses Dingle doesn’t want to go anywhere near him.

In scenes set to air on Monday, December 9, Ross is shocked to find that Moses is suddenly petrified of him.

Knowing that he must have done something to make Moses want to avoid him, Ross feels defeated.

Given her son’s terrified reaction, Charity Dingle goes into protection mode and sends Ross packing.

Later on, Ross observes the close bond between Mackenzie Boyd and Moses, and abandons his plans to reconcile with his son.

Can Ross get back on better terms with Moses? And why is Moses suddenly so frightened of him?

Ross will also face a desperate race against time next week as April Windsor is abducted by dangerous newcomer Jade.

Jade decides that Ross is responsible for the £10,000 that went missing from the fight she recently organised between him and Billy Fletcher, though viewers know that Mackenzie Boyd is responsible.

She finds out about Ross’s past connection to April and kidnaps her as leverage, before texting Ross to arrive with the money at April’s location: the same multi-storey car park where April’s mum Donna died in 2014.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media about the storyline, Ross actor Michael Parr explained: “Ross knows that Jade is a dangerous and sinister character. But I think he doesn’t realise how deep the rabbit hole goes with her and what she is willing to do to make sure she wins and gets her money back.

“It’s hugely traumatic for Ross to be back in the location where Donna died. It brings back the worst memories. Seeing somebody die, especially the first girl who has ever loved him and his first experience with love, was quite a traumatic event for him.”

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
