Louisa Lytton is set to reprise her role as Ruby Allen in EastEnders, marking her return to the show after nearly three years away. The character left Walford in November 2021 after being imprisoned due to her alleged involvement in a cannabis operation, a move instigated by Jean Slater as revenge against Ruby's false accusations against Stacey. Ruby's dramatic exit was compounded by her claims of being pregnant with Martin Fowler's child, which he dismissed as another lie. Her return is expected to create chaos for both Martin and Stacey, with EastEnders' executive producer Chris Clenshaw expressing excitement over the unresolved questions stemming from Ruby's departure. Lytton expressed her enthusiasm about returning to the iconic role, promising viewers a glimpse into Ruby's life during her absence. While the exact timing of her return remains undisclosed, anticipation is building as the show approaches its 40th anniversary.
