Firstly let me personally thank every 3,311 (Current as of 13:21 GMT) of you who took the time to sign the Michael Parr return to Emmerdale petition. I never expected the Petition to do this well or receive the recognition that it has from the likes of the Official Michael Parr fan page on Social Media Facebook, thousands of re-tweets on Twitter, Press releases from Liverpool Echo, OK Magazine, Mirror and Unreality TV. All of which has really helped us by gaining so much support and signatures for an incredible actor. I started this Petition to promote the return of Michael Parr AKA Ross Barton to our Emmerdale screens, wether this can be achieved or not is another matter, but since opening the Petition some 6 days ago I have learn that actor Michael Parr is sadly missed by thousands if not millions of hardcore fans. Since joining Emmerdale, Michael Parr has had involvement in some incredible and heart-warming storylines, most recently the departure of Donna Windsor. I will do my upmost to ensure this Petition reaches the producers of Emmerdale, Is Ross Barton really dead, will he make a shock return? One thing that's for sure; Michael Parr made a huge impact to Emmerdale and is solely missed by thousands of fans.
