DogSoSmall When you say "The other thing that I can't stop feeling really upset about, as pathetic as it may sound, is that Nicola misled me about the ending when I met her. She could see how much it meant to me. It might be an actor's job to manipulate our feelings on the screen, but to do it face to face, real person to real person, well it just feels quite unkind." you can't surely believe she was saying anything other than what she felt was the truth. Her character Ruth accepted her ultimate sacrifice because when you truly love someone body and soul you'll die for them, fact, whereas sitting in a little house in suburbia with Harry would not prove her love in quite the same way! Nicola would no doubt also have felt that Harry surviving and returning to the Grid made the ending "OK" because he's been the kingpin in Spooks from the very beginning and she'd think that the most important outcome for all of us. She's quoted as saying somewhere, it's an adult ending and that's certainly what we got.
