On screen, Ross discharged himself from hospital just days after suffering the shock acid attack and returned to the village.
Attempting to come to terms with his life-changing injuries, Ross has turned to alcohol and pushed his brother Pete away vowing to seek revenge on the person responsible for the attack.
