Please God don't let the writers go down that route!!

Dear god, no!!! Hoping that this just means that they seem to be getting on ok together and it's all just in Harry's mind or he puts two and two together and gets 10. I can't believe Ruth would get involved with someone else on the grid. She can't have so little respect for Harry and his feelings. Fingers crossed the editors thought better of it and have left any scenes on the cutting room floor. And if Ruth does get off with Dimitri, I will think that Ruth has totally lost it, as well as the writers.

As provocative an idea as that is, even I would lose respect for Ruth! The only way I can see that possibly working for me is if it is one sided - on Dimitri's side? I could see them getting close as friends though. Adam close. Danny close. Zaf close. That might be enough for Harry to resent in his current state.

I agree with TL and AC. The only way I can see it happening is that Dimitri flirts with Ruth, and Harry reacts to that. Max Brown did say beforehand that his character flirted with everybody. I'm sure the powers that be won't portray Ruth as being that callous towards Harry. She may not want to date or marry him, but she still cares for him a great deal.
