I've missed something - what's going to happen to her?

Damn me for continuing to express my views on her after each episode she appears in on a thread that was started to express views on the show and characters.
Does it bother you because you like her or because she reminds you of someone you may know?”

It bothers me because it's whenever i read the thread there is a fresh comment about how much you dislike Ruth and it's like hearing an old record over and over again. I'd feel the same even if it was Noel. And in my opinion your comments aren't really episode relevant as they all tend to say stuff like 'she's the devil reincarnated with no heart' (made that quote up, and i know it is a slight exaggeration, but you get the gist) regardless of what's happened in the episode.
And yes i like her and no she doesn't remind me of someone i know - but really it has nothing to do with her.

Thank you!
Really enjoyed tonight's episode - glad Lenny's back - looks like a big storyline for him - like him and Mads together!! Ruth appears to be slowly losing the plot

I do like how she is going after Charlie, boring if he was untouchable and everyone's favourite guy...

Well as long as she's in the show, prepare to be bothered by my posts.
Would you like me to stop posting about her?

Zoe is often left out of episodes I didn't even notice her absence.

Yep according to another thread on here I read, two characters die at New Years or just after. Georgia (I think that's her name) said she had just finished filming her most dramatic scenes etc

We did get a glimpse of her picture next to Ruth's after the missing mustache had been drawn in.
[I hope that post is episode relevant enough for One treehillfan]

It's news to me that she's leaving. All I've read is an interview with the writer/producer (not sure which one!) in Inside Soap a few weeks ago, talking about how they feel really bad about what they're putting Ruth through, and something about Jay having to look after another character, who I assumed is Ruth. I hope Ruth's not being killed off.

Oh, who would be the two characters who die then? I just assumed Ruth because the actress said she had filmed her most dramatic scenes and since she has already attempted suicide, one step up would be death, no?
I "like" the character too, well I like the actress playing the character not Ruth herself.

I wouldn't know, they didn't mention it in the interview
I remember a bit with Georgia about last weeks episode where she mentioned the dramatic scenes though. Unless Georgia wanted to leave, I'm not sure why they would kill her off?I like Ruth when she's with Jay. He gets her, and brings the best out in her, he gives her the time of day. No-one else does.

I doubt she would have been axed, she got them a lot of praise which the show struggles for these days not so long ago, it would be her decision but I just remember when she was on Corrie she left on a high then when she was getting nominated for best actress etc
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

That doesn't mean she is going to die.
I can see that Ruth is right on the edge of a nervous breakdown. I feel so sad for her.
Others will go on with their lives, Charlie will get his job back one day. But she is unable to tell anyone about the torment she is going through not even Jay.

Tess did appear somewhat briefly running through one scene

I loved that little scene between the two of them where we got to see what the 'normal' Ruth would look like - shame she didn't take his advice about Charlie
In effect her decision alienated the staff around her even more leaving her isolated...
i enjoy watching ruths character and find her very interesting to watch. I dont like her character though.
Yes shes had a damaged childhood (as do many) but i love the way shes aware of her problems yet chooses to ignore them -....... how many times has she been told she has no people skills by her collegues, yet she does nothing to perfect them at all? As professional as she thinks she is i would of thought she'd want to sort herself out. thats why i think she has mental issues.
She is a doctor - she could seek therapy for past anguishes - attend courses to improve her skills - but she chooses not to. She would rather trample over her collegues to look after herself - I hate that quality in a person but like i said her character just keeps you watching because you want her to get with Jay and for him to 'mend her' and for them to be happy. It just wont happen though and why should Jay have to when she wont help herself.
well done to Georgia Taylor who plays her so well !

I quite enjoy the idea of Charlie working in the psych ward for a month or so, the potential for some interesting stories.

Exactly. He sees the good in her. Yes, she's not the nicest person most of the time, but that nice person is in there. She doesn't help herself, but the rest of the staff really don't take the time to get to know her. But when she does try and be nice, they just throw back it her face anyway and mock her. She can't win sometimes.

She can tell but chooses not to. Rather than getting out of the marriage, cutting her losses and letting him carry on as he was, she strikes a deal where she wins and he loses. She gets power and to climb the ladder. He gets to ditch his boyfriend carry on living a lie and the added bonus of her outing him..... nice
People want Jay to get back with someone like that? The man has his faults but even I wouldn't wish her on him.
