Speaking to Emmerdale Insider and other media last year, Mike spoke about wanting to Anthony back on the show as Pete. He shared: “It’s different now because the Bartons are thin on the ground in terms on numbers. “I’ve got no Quinny backing me up. He was my older brother, who’s just like my older brother in real life. We don’t see each other as much as we used to, but we’re still in touch.” “I would love Quinny back. Because Quinny has done Hollyoaks and stuff before, he’s not much older than me but he felt older as soon as we got here, because he’d kind of walk the walk with the soap stuff and being on TV. “He really showed Joe [Gill] and I the ropes. There were so many things we didn’t know what to do, we didn’t know how to handle. And, Quinny is a lovely, soft, fun person to be around. So, yeah, I would love it.” But, it’s not yet been confirmed whether Pete Barton’s heading back to the Dales? So, we’ll have to wait and see! Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale in 2025?
