Is rarely in it now, just seems to pop in for an episode or so then disappears again. Is she leaving?

Neither her or Rachel feature in the new trailer, Gemmas leaving but not heard anything about Kelly. There wouldn't be anything left for Ruby without them.

Think you mean ED, I was convinced I'd forgotten a character in EE for a while!

But I agree, not sure why. I like Ruby but dislike Ali, so I wouldn't mind her leaving, but then you're right, there's nothing for Ruby. Does she have family anywhere? I didn't watch ED when she joined.

I think, hope, Ali and her daughter have left for good, to live nearer to her son Sean. Ruby is a very pleasant character and I hope she gets a proper story soon. The story where she was carer to an elderly man was very promising, but it disappeared overnight.

Her daughter lives with Dan and Kerry and Ali is nursing Sean isn't she? I like Ruby but she's vanished - she would have been good in the Bob/Brenda storyline. I can't see that there's anything for her without Ali which is a shame. She won't be able to be a carer again as she stole from the old fella.

There is lots of potential for Ruby without Forty a Day, this character would survive without Sixty a Day. She is a trained nurse isn't she? Yet she is belittling herself to work in a cafe.

Was she struck off? Surely she could work at the surgery or the hospital, Jackson worked there, rest his soul.

Why does everyone have to have a relationship to be in that village?

Tracy is still knocking about and she has no one really, well until they invented this Jimmy storyline, she's not like real friends with Sam because of mad Rachel.

She is the only one tolerable out of the entire Spencer clan and i hope she stays

she was a home carer, not a nurse. Most care jobs are just as badly paid as catering. Carers often have qualifications but not to the level of nurses.

I don't know why the scriptwriters have kept her this long.

I like Ruby, why can she not take over mad ex Mrs Barton's job in the surgery? Or, (horror), actually have a job outside the village?

she has looked more and more anorexic through her ED stint so surely a bump would be very hard to hide!

I liked the actress in shameless but I don't think she would be missed sadly if she left.

Dan Kerry and the amelia work very well in fact amelia is better with Kerry than Ali.

I do like Ruby and you have to wonder where the character will go if Ali leaves, even her nursing was forgottom for her to only appear in the cafe

I honestly think that it will be Ruby that dies in the stunt because as others have said, she is sort of just there now. Which is unfortunate as I really like Ruby away from Ali and would've preferred her to die.

was she? I was under the impression she had always been a carer since she appeared in Emmerdale.She wirked for Sandy for a while then the old man who was racist. Didn't she get in trouble with the agency because Laurel and Ashley were privately paying her for extra hours that she wasn't declaring?

maybe you are right, I thought she was a nurse and used to wear a nurse uniform when she first arrived but i guess it could have been a carer uniforn

People don't need to have family to live a good life. Speaking from experience of being estranged from mine for several years but having brilliant friends.

honestly I'm not sure. I've just got vague memories of Laurel paying her directly, and not through the agency so she got in bother. She could well be a qualified nurse. as well as a qualified carer. I think you can get those sorts of uniforms from any uniform supplier though, so basically anyone could wear one.


Anyway, I think either Ruby, Ali or Rachel could be killed off. Ali's all but left and Ruby just seems peripheral. I thought they would develop her more when the Hollyoaks guy and his grandpa came in, but that was left hanging.

I think she was reunited with her Mum, but the impression was given that she had pretty much cut off contact with her family. I think she thought her Mum would have problem with Ruby's sexuality but in reality she didn''t. The mum was only in it for a few eps, but I think they parted on good terms.

Her mother appeared not so long ago.
