EastEnders star Louisa Lytton speaks out on ‘important’ Ruby return

With Ruby returning to the soap ahead of the soap’s 40th, Louisa Lytton has revealed that Ruby’s grown and changed a lot in the time she’s been away. Now feels like an ‘important’ time for her to return.

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Louisa shared: “I think her priorities in life have changed. I think she’s finally got purpose, she’s had a baby, and it’s changed her outlook and purpose. She isn’t the lying, manipulative character she was when she left, she’s lost everything – all her money, all her finances, her house. She is starting from scratch, but we can see she’s happy with her lot.

“I definitely feel like it was important for Ruby to have a return and to have some redemption. When she left, I think her character was very different to the Ruby that we once knew when she was a teenager. So I was definitely really excited to bring her back and see where she’s been, see how she had changed, and hopefully have some redemption and reform her character a little bit.” Exciting stuff!
