EastEnders: Ruby Allen to return ahead of soap’s 40th anniversary
Ruby Allen last appeared on screen in 2021, with police arresting her for the Slater cannabis farm. Jean enjoyed setting her up.
Before her exit, Ruby wrongly accused Stacey Slater of assault with this leading to Stacey’s prison stint.
Now though, Louisa Lytton’s coming back to her role as Ruby Allen, just in time for the soap’s 40th celebrations! And, her stint will be a prolonged one.
Ruby’s return is bound to cause drama for Stacey and Martin. After all, Ruby previously departed under hostile circumstances. It’s unclear whether Ruby was actually pregnant when we last saw her… but, her return is bound to cause chaos one way or another.
