==History==
James Barton was a member of the Barton Family who arrived in October 2013 to reunite with his estranged son Ross. Soon enough two men arrived in the village; they were James' other sons, the eldest named Pete and the youngest named Finn.
From then onwards James and his sons settled in the village and began working alongside his sister-in-law Moira and her son Adam. He also started dating Moira's friend Chas Dingle at the time. In 2014, however, the family learns that Moira and James had previously slept together years ago and the result meant that James' brother and Moira's late husband John Barton was not in fact Adam's father - it was actually James himself. Tensions soon escalated further when James was reunited with his estranged wife Emma, the mother of his children except for Adam himself.
In 2016, James and Emma had an argument on a bridge that ended with Emma shoving James down the traffic. This consequently led to a road collision that ended with many wreckages; James was rushed to hospital but he died of his injuries. Over a year ago, the truth about Emma causing James' death is exposed to the public.
