Ross finds his life on the line in Emmerdale next week after dark Kev threat
Ross is left fighting for his life...
Emmerdale is set to air a terrifying twist for Ross Barton next week after getting on the wrong side of Kev.
There is no love lost between the pair, who ultimately both want the same thing – which is for Lewis to be happy. But after an argument broke out between them today, spoilers for next week have revealed Ross will be left fighting for his life.
Ross and Nicola set Kev up in Emmerdale
Ever since Kev returned to the village to try and turn his life around and build a relationship with his son, Lewis, Ross has been plotting to get rid of him.
Nicola also doesn’t like Kev. Not only because he can bake the best lemon drizzle in Yorkshire, but also because she is very protective of Lewis.
But while Ross and Nicola share their mutual hatred for Kev, Lewis has decided to give his estranged dad a chance.
However, today’s episode of Emmerdale saw Nicola and Lewis discover the cafe had been broken into.
The place was trashed, and the cash box was missing – which eventually turned up in Kev’s cake van.
Kev protested his innocence when Nicola and Lewis confronted him, and he was heartbroken when Lewis didn’t believe him.
Kev might have a dark past, but he has been working hard to prove he’s a changed man. He knew instantly that Ross had set him up, but still Lewis didn’t believe him.
Kev told Charles that without Lewis in his life, there was no point in staying in the village. Charles begged him to reconsider, suggesting he stick around to prove his innocence.
Mack struggled with the truth
Meanwhile, Mack was in a world of pain after recently finding out that Charity slept with Ross. Not only that, but he is also Leyla’s dad. He is desperately trying to keep the secret safe for Sarah’s sake, but things between him and Charity have hit rock bottom.
After a chat with Ross, where Mack quickly worked out he and Nicola had set Kev up, Mack decided to use the information to his advantage.
Having promised Charity that he wouldn’t hurt Ross, Mack went to tell Kev what Ross and Nicola had done.
Mack also shared that Ross had wronged him by sleeping with Charity, and Kev asked how he would get revenge.
However, Kev played right into Mack’s hands. Mack wound Kev up by revealing all of Ross’s wrongdoings, leading to Kev heading off – armed with a cake slice – to find Ross.
Thrilled that Kev was going to do his dirty work, Mack’s plan had worked a treat.
Later, Kev and Ross fought, and Kev had the upper hand until Lewis came home and ordered him out. Kev was fuming that Lewis still believed Ross over him, and later issued Ross a dark threat.
He told Ross that plenty of people know his secrets and that his lies would catch up with him soon.
Ross shrugged off his threat, but it was clear that Kev had hit a nerve.
Ross fights for his life in Emmerdale next week
Ross is oblivious to the fact that Mack knows that he is the father of baby Leyla… but that is all set to change next week.
When Mack asks Ross to come and help at the farm, Ross agrees and checks that they’re still friends. Mack assures him that everything is fine, but it is clear Mack is still seething in silence.
Soon, the pair end up fighting on the barn mezzanine. It gets serious when Ross is pushed over the edge, and he ends up screaming in pain on the ground.
It looks like Kev’s threat has come true already. Will Ross be okay?
