Speaking about the romance between Ross and Donna, Michael Parr - who plays Ross - said: "I don’t want to see Ross fall in love or get married or have kids.
April is Donna's daughter and Donna used to date Ross before her shock death.
Marlon is the father of April, with him and Donna having conceived her before Donna left.
She made her return with April, who was four at the time, and later Marlon learned that April was his daughter.
Therefore, Ross was a bit like a father figure for April and has remained that way since he made a return to the village - and before she disappeared.
