Viewers have not accepted Ross’ version of events

Emmerdale fans have ‘worked out’ a twist about Rebecca White’s death during tonight’s episode.

A routine surgery apparently killed Rebecca three months ago, according to her ex Ross Barton who returned to the village this week. Ross said he had been taking care of her son Seb at the time.

Rebecca, portayed by Emily Head, previously suffered a traumatic brain injury while in the village but recovered. But as news of her death passes, viewers have not accepted Ross’ version of events and have taken to X to share their theories that not all is how it seems.

@ASuperGav said: “Rebecca’s dead? Why kill off characters who could easily come back. It’s not as though they’ve got a wealth of talent to choose from.”

@ScullyScully73 said: “Everyone saying Rebecca’s gone is making me think more and more she’s alive!”

@double_nna said: “It’s weird that Aaron isn’t aware of Rebecca’s death yet, or that his stepson Seb is living with some aunt somewhere. So weird that he didn’t even ask Ross about Seb the minute he laid eyes on him.”

@GeorgiaBowring said: “Is Ross telling the truth?” @1madwoman1962 said: “Ross always goes off the rails when something bad happens in his life he goes into self destruction mode.”

@aaron_dingles said: “I need Aaron to smash Ross’ face in, multiple times over.” @miss_kattz said: “Yeah. I did not miss Ross Barton.”
