Ruby is making her highly-anticipated return to EastEnders, much to the excitement of fans. It seems that the iconic soap is on a roll with bringing back beloved characters, and Ruby Allen is no exception. Her story was left unfinished, so it's great news that Louisa Lytton is reprising her role. However, many are hoping that the show will make up for a crucial mistake they made with her character in the past.
Before her exit in 2021, Ruby had suffered two miscarriages and was diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition that can greatly affect fertility and comes with debilitating symptoms. This storyline was powerfully portrayed by Louisa, but unfortunately, it was overshadowed by Ruby's villainous actions. The show chose to focus on her dark side instead of addressing her medical struggles, leaving viewers disappointed.
It's no surprise that Ruby has a bit of darkness in her blood, considering her father was a crime boss. But the show missed an opportunity to balance her feisty persona with exploring a real-life issue that many women face. Ruby's struggle with endometriosis could have been a chance for representation and raising awareness, but it was pushed aside for the sake of a villainous storyline.
Louisa is returning for a prolonged stint, and fans are hoping that this time, Ruby's vulnerability and humanity will be highlighted. We want to see her cope with her condition on a daily basis, not just as a plot device. The show has successfully portrayed strong, conflicted women in the past, such as Ronnie Mitchell, and we believe they can do the same with Ruby.
We want to see Ruby's journey and how she navigates through her condition, not just a new set of lies and manipulations. It wouldn't make sense for the show to ignore her endometriosis completely, and we have faith that they will handle it with the sensitivity and honesty it deserves. It's important for viewers to see real experiences on-screen, and Ruby's story has been missing a crucial chapter.
We don't just want to know what she's been up to while she was away from Walford, we want to see the day-to-day challenges she faces as a sufferer of endometriosis. This is an opportunity for the show to give Ruby a sense of agency over her health and provide much-needed representation for chronic illnesses. We are excited to see Ruby's return and are hopeful that EastEnders will do her story justice.
