Leave Ruby alone she is brilliant, complete opposite of Stacey's character: shy, emotional and a bit of a doormat. It makes a nice change from the screechy, gooby wild child that soaps generally introduce to soaps.
Louisa Lytton and (as much as i hate to say it) Lacey Turner are two of the best young actors in soap at the moment. They both have strong fanbases which was proved by their awards at the British Soap Awards this year. Their are much worse actors in soaps at the moment (think Roxanne 'am i showing enough cleavage to cover for the fact i have a ratty face' Pallett from Emmerdale) and Eastenders have had some rubbish younger actors in their time (Nicky di Marco, the Ferreiras, Kim McFarlene etc) so i'm relishing the fact that they finally have some good young actors.
I'm gutted Ruby is leaving (i'm hoping Jake will whisk her away and save her from big bad Sean and Johnny) as i do think she could have been given better storylines that focused more on her as an individual character rather than have storylines where she is just Stacey's quiet little mate or Johnny's emotional wreck of a daughter.
Sorry. End of rant. (You may notice i quite like Ruby)
