And she has already started filming her scenes!
Before its 40th anniversary, EastEnders is welcoming back another notorious resident as Louisa Lytton reprises the role of Ruby Allen for a prolonged stint later this year and has already started filming her scenes.
Viewers last saw Ruby Allen when she left Walford in November 2021, shortly after she claimed to be pregnant with Martin Fowler’s child. But Martin refused to believe her having discovered that Ruby had spouted a series of lies which led to Stacey’s false imprisonment.
Whilst it is uncertain whether Ruby was in fact telling the truth about her pregnancy, her return is sure to cause chaos for Martin and Stacey who both thought they had seen the back of her for good.
Speaking on her return, Louisa Lytton said "I am thrilled to have been asked back to the Square to revisit Ruby once more, and to shed some light on what the past three years have been like for her during her time away from Walford. I’ve always loved playing Ruby as there is never a dull moment and I cannot wait for everyone to see what Ruby has in store."
To which Executive Producer, Chris Clenshaw, added "I’m delighted to welcome Louisa Lytton back to the role of Ruby Allen. Ruby’s departure from Walford left many unanswered questions for Martin and Stacey, and her return is sure to unearth a whole heap of drama for her character and all those involved."
Ruby Allen first appeared in EastEnders on 18th March 2005, as the daughter of infamous crime boss Johnny Allen, played by Billy Murray. Ruby and Stacey were originally best friends, but their relationship broke down after Ruby got involved with Stacey’s ex-husband, Martin Fowler, and the pair eventually married in October 2020.
Ruby falsely accused Stacey of assault in March 2021, and Stacey was imprisoned as a result.
Ruby Allen left Walford on 23rd November 2021 after she was arrested for the Slater cannabis farm when Jean Slater set her up for the crime.
EastEnders continues Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One with first look episodes available from 6am on BBC iPlayer
