Ruth could be so upset about losing her life in the sunshine with George that she just can't forgive Harry and has been turned but it seems to me that most exit strategies have been because of the actor wishing to leave the show. Perhaps they are waiting to see if Strike Back gets another series in which case RA may need to move on and are therefore leaving it open-ended 'til that decision is made. Have we totally written off Ros for a return? I'm still not convinced, or have I missed something?

Didn't PF say that this person isn't 'what they seem'? Doesn't necessarily mean that they're a traitor... Personally, I think we'll find that Ruth is really transgender and used to be a bloke called Eric. And, Harry being a liberal at heart, doesn't care.

[Only kidding, before all the Ruth fans immediately launch missiles in my direction!!!]

So this could be nothing. But Max Brown is filming a film at the same time as he's meant to be filming Spooks.

Everything pointed to him being a regular this season. But maybe he doesn't last long.....

Anyway, it could be nothing. But it's rare for people on Spooks to film stuff concurrently given its six day a week shooting period.

you do have a way of making me laugh on those darker days .. even without glue and a BBC logo.
But while I'd buy RuthEric, Harry being a liberal?!? that's taking it a bit far Big Grin

I've actually been chewing on this quite a bit (thanks ever so much Mr. A, for dropping these massive hints... a clue: NOT) "...I think this series is very much about identity. All of the characters from the very beginning are not what they seem..."
Might be nitpicking but in my dictionary there's a difference between 'what' and 'who'.. gah! What if Lucas is 6-foot white rabbit that everyone just imagines... Suspense is making me silly.
I've actually started compiling a list of all the remaining/known characters (incl. Ros Smile

) and write down what (we think we know) they are. Then twist and reverse it to maybe find out what they're not. Only to be way off the mark come autumn.

Pahahaa that would make my year!

And interesting news about Max Brown, JHyde. It does seem odd if he is a main character but then he has been included in interviews as if he were a main cast member. Bah when will we know for sure haha I hope he is a main character, from that interview he sounded rather interesting

The writers could be doing with MB what they did with Lisa Faulkener in season 1, building them up as a main character, when in fact they don't last long.

I suggested something like that in the old SpooksWatch thread actually, just after all the new people were announced in one hit.

YourFutureMuse · 11-05-2010, 11:20 AM

They might have done that with the baby home sec too, if he is dead (please no please no) he was only in a few eps. Which seems a shame, beautiful man haha Sad

The thing is though Lisa Faulkner was a big name whereas MB is a virtual unknown so I'm not sure.

And Lucas used to be a criminal mastermind that sold pirated tapes of Wham and Boy George, but fled that life and joined MI5 to escape his first girlfriend's demands that they get married.

We'll also find out that Tariq is actually Malcolm's illegitimate son.

Regarding the possible abesence of Ros in S09. Here's what HN's been filming in South Africa: a Kudos series called Outcasts http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressre...asts.shtml

p.s. Couldn't help noticing more Spooks-related casting: With Daniel Mays (A2A - with Keeley Hawes, Middletown with Matthew Macfadyen) and Liam Cunningham (former Sophia Myles co-star in The Abduction Club)
