Parr recently spoke about how Ross is initially hesitant to open up to Lewis, but will soon let his guard down.

“You’ll see that the character is quite infectious and it’s hard for Ross to say no to him, because he is very pure and it reminds him of Finn,” he said.

“It’s been nice for Ross to have somebody on his side, because he was starting to think that he was the touch of death. Everybody he gets close to seems to get killed off. He’s lost two girlfriends, four family members, and he’s had a lot of unlucky situations.”

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