I have just rewatched the reveal of Ruby's fake pregnancy to Romeo......especially the conversation between Ruby and Leah which was tense and beautifully played by the actresses "Leah: what happened to the kind-hearted girl I used to know; Ruby: maybe she died with my mother" - this is what the last 6 months have been hinting at and after watching this and thinking about the last 4 yrs and what she has been through, I think we are just about to lose another amazing summer bay character - one of desperation, full of loneliness (which actually I don't think has been done in the soap before or not acted in this way so kudos for the creativity of the writers for once in a lifetime and utilising a great character) - just wanted to say that Rebecca Breeds is a brilliant actress, one of the best they have got and will be sad to lose her.
[Now even a higher proportion of summer bay's characters will be full of Braxtons/criminals (thats what they are) - have too much hatred for selfish Brax, hope his character is killed off soon....but we will probably get a funeral with the whole of the community weeping even though he introduced criminal activities into the bay...he's not even there to support Ruby - if he really loved Charlie, he wouldn't abandon her daughter!...]
