Ruby Allen's Return to EastEnders: A Story of Unanswered Questions and Chaos

The iconic character of Ruby Allen, played by the talented Louisa Lytton, is set to shake up Albert Square once again. Her return, after a nearly three-year absence, promises to stir up a whirlwind of emotions and confrontations for both Martin Fowler and Stacey Slater.

Ruby last graced the screens of EastEnders in November 2021, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and unfinished business. She had been sent to prison after being falsely accused by the Slater family of running a cannabis farm. However, her departure was also shrouded in mystery, as she claimed to be pregnant with Martin Fowler's baby. But, after a history of lies and deceit, Martin was hesitant to believe her.

Now, with Ruby's return, the truth about her pregnancy and the consequences of her past actions are poised to come to light. This time, however, she is ready to face those she wronged, including her former best friend, Stacey, and her ex-husband, Martin, who both thought they had seen the back of her for good.
