It also makes me want to scream that the writers talk about wanting a happy ending for Harry and Ruth as if they have no control over the situation. As I have said before, surely it is not beyond the wit of these truly superb writers to write a credible, fabulous, exciting, passionate and happy ending for these two. Anyone can predict the sad stuff, it would seem. How about rising to the challenge and being a little different.

Even lovely Nicola let me down by saying that in "real life" when things get complicated people often end up just doing nothing. Well, I've always thought the whole point about Spooks was that it was nothing like real life. So why can't they shove some of that high octane hocum into this relationship, grab it by the (gorgeous, velvet) lapels and .........well, you get my point.

If I remember rightly there was a question to the writers about H/R and Ruth getting a happier storyline in series ten and they replied with something about how she would still have a lot to work through in series ten which I took to mean she would still be pushing Harry away, though of course I could be wrong entirely! That does seem to add up to what Nicola said in the Ian Wylie interview way back though about realistically what would happen with Ruth post 8.1 and then she said something about Ruth falling on her sword.

Tbh, I can only see R/H getting a definitive happy ending in the very last Spooks episode with lots of tooing and froing before that. That is unless the writers decide that the tears at the end of series nine were about moving on/forward and I am therefore totally wrong again.

I've always thought it would be cool for there to be a kind of low key Spooks ending where everyone goes off to The George or somewhere for drinks and Ruth and Harry resolve their differences and that can be the end.
