But judging by the newly-released dramatic images, Ross will have to face up to Cain Dingle before he has any hope of finding Debbie.
In episodes set to air later this week Ross, played by Michael Parr, is left distraught as he finally comes to terms with the fact Debbie, portrayed by Charley Webb, has left the Dales for good.
In a hopeless attempt to contact his former flame, Ross secretly steals her father, Cain's phone and tries to call her.
However, when he finally gets through to Debbie, a furious Cain - played by Jeff Hordley - bursts in and catches the criminal on the phone to his daughter.

Unable to contain his anger, Cain squares up to the local thug and warns him to stay away from Debbie.
In the latest snaps, the confrontation appears to turn violent between the two men, which comes as no surprise as Ross has gained a reputation for being as equally hot-headed as Cain.
Cain can be seen with his hand across Ross' throat as he pushes the thug up against a wall in a threatening manner.

But Ross - who was recently revealed as the person who shot Robert Sugden - has yet to suffer any real consequences for his actions, and will no doubt refuse to be easily intimidated by Cain.
But with Cain clearly on the rampage, the overprotective father appears to have lost his temper once and for all, and Ross might finally get his comeuppance.
Emmerdale continues on ITV on Monday at 7:00pm.
