Calling all Ruth fans: do not miss tonight's episode! Ruth's had many eventful moments over her years in Shieldinch but tonight she surpasses herself. I don't want to reveal all just now but if you really want to know what happens then check out the Spoilers page.
So, it seems appropriate to relive some of her finest hours. We've been discussing it in the office and have been remembering fondly such scenes as Ruth charging up the stairs then chucking her mum down them, and the time she kidnapped wee Franco. She's also stabbed Scott (he must be a forgiving guy), returned from Italy with a secret husband, rifled through Marty's medical files at the surgery, and beat up Iona twice!
The episode that really got us talking today is when she took her revenge on Marty on Valentine's Day. She let him think all was well before handing him a syphilis leaflet, disguised as a Valentine's card! She chucked him and all of his clothes out into the street, then forced him to sell his business to Lenny and give her the proceeds. Marty was quickly sent packing and believes his wife has since had an abortion.
Two of the team are now arguing about whose idea it was to disguise the syphilis leaflet as a Valentine's card...
You can relive Ruth's life with Marty in our photo gallery, and watch some of her classic clips.
What are your favourite Ruth moments? I have to confess to enjoying the scene in which she beat up Iona, before Roisin and Gina save the day :)
