Good question! If the fans have anything to say about it, H and R will get together in some way. Hopefully, someone from Kudos is really paying attention! I think, based on what PF and NW have said in the past, they'd like to have something happen for the two characters also. But it may very well depend upon whether or not there's a series 10. If yes, the writers may string us along some more. If not, maybe there is finally a chance for R and H but I'd guess that it won't be spelled out definitively until the last ep of the last series.

Yeah, I think just the fact that they brought Ruth back is a good way of looking at it, they know they have a good thing stringing us all along, they are fully aware how loved she is as a character; they must know that most people are rooting for them to get together.

The other characters always seem to have love interests. Well Adam and Tom had enough for the whole of the grid!

I think they will get together, but suspect that it will happen off-screen. And they'll just give us some throw-away line about going home together or something from which we'll have to infer that they'd been seeing each other for some time. I hope I'm wrong, as I would actually like to see them develop as a couple on screen, not just in my mind.

I don't trust kudos at all Tongue

But I do think they will get together, but as lwhite53 said, we will see it in the final episode of the series... We deserve (HR too Smile

) a happy ending for once (ok, it was Zoe and Will but 2 happy endings vs. 20 sad endings... it isn't too much...)

I really hope what Silktie says doesn't happen... but it wouldn't surprise me... They did it in this series, I must agree with Silktie (she wrote it somewhere) that they actually went for that drink, but we only got some clues (I didn't get it until it was mention...). I dom't mind imagining some scenes in my head, but I need some images too...

I live in hope but with some fears Confused

I think it will happen. It is a storyline they already have and can play with. There are not that many characters left to run a storyline like this with. They are not going to start a love story with new characters or Tariq or even Lucas after the Sarah thing. This I think will be the love story for the next series. How quickly it will progress though and how much we will see of it will depend on, as others have said, whether the BBC have already given Kudos the nod for a series 10. I dont see the point of all the little looks, and touches, in series 8 if nothing is going to happen in series 9. They were setting it up, like PF said in an interview. I think though that there would be a dramatic storyline to finally push them together though such as a kidnapping. Also Kudos knows what the fans want through the postcard campaign.

I sincerely hope that they do show us some sort of progession and not just a throw away comment one episode, I think they would be fools if they did. Kudos know how much people want them to get together.

Beatriz, I didn't notice any of the clues! What were they? I'm thinking this may well be an excuse to watch series 8 again!

We talked about it some pages ago, I think it was Silktie, who actually said that, very subtle ones but I think it make sense. In the following episode, they had a bit more intimacy than in previous episodes, she even touches his hand... I think these only have been possible if they had that drink and a little chat.

Kudos know what we want, but I don't trust them! Wink

Now seriously, I do think they're going to develop this relationship further, it wouldn't make sense Ruth's come back otherwise, mind you, she's a great character but their relationship is a wonderful storyline, and it would be really mean if they don't take that chance, they're amazing actors, and together they are lovely Heart

SPOOK91 · 28-01-2010, 07:26 PM

Ah, I see what you mean now. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Aww when she touches his hand, Ruth really has changed from the woman she was in series 4 and 5. I can't wait to see what she does in Series 9.

Yeah I definately think they will develop the relationship, it's interesting that Kudos seemed to think there were too few HR scenes in this series and saw fit to film some more, perhaps they are setting something up for next series and had to show this progression to allow it.

Well, whatever is going to happen is already written. As filming is supposed to begin in February, the basic plots of all the scripts are done. Do we have any good hackers here?? Silba

For me it wasnt the touch of Harry's hand although that was lovely, it was the look and smile Ruth gave Harry after Ros and Lucus left his office and she was alone with him briefly, earlier in the episode. I thought this was trying to tell us that they had gone for a drink and sorted a few things out.

As for Kudos developing their relationship, I think it may have been lwhite53 that said, NW must have come back for a good reason, and that for an actor must have been the promise of a good storyline. There would seem little point to having all these little moments in series 8 if all we were going to get is more little moments in series 9. There has to be some progression or people will just get bored of the same old thing (well I wouldnt, but some would if you know what I mean.)
