Looks like she's gone back in time.

A proper life includes an abode -- do we have any idea where she's living yet?

I started to watch that but it was a bit WTF, so I stopped.

Which character does she play? It was one of my favourite books in my tweens...did I actually just use that word?

She's such a gentle, caring person. I love that Ruth doesn't like to see people in pain and takes the trouble to helps them if she can.

She plays Carla. Going to watch it tomorrow though.

Same here. Most people would have just let Maudsley go for a start rather than follow him to give him change. It's heartbreaking that it was ultimately her kindness and generosity that 'ruined' her life that day.

I found Nicola Walker's views on Ruth very funny. She once said that she thought Ruth would be fantastic company at a party, as she would undoubtedly drink too much and then flirt with all the wrong people. Suddenly I'm hoping Ruth and Harry are seeing in the new year together, and that there is lots of alcohol.

LOL! But she says that Ruth flirts with all the wrong people, so maybe that would just make it worse... Not that we need things to get worse, just when they were getting better...

They are getting better and WILL REMAIN SO IN 2010.

Seconded. That shall be their new year's resolutions.

I thought it was rather amusing when Nicola said she didn't think Ruth would be reading Austen on the bus. Someone else (Can't remember who) said "But how many times can you read Frankenstein?", NW replied "Ruth thought that too".
