EastEnders: Ruby Allen to return ahead of soap’s 40th anniversary

Ruby Allen last appeared on screen in 2021, with police arresting her for the Slater cannabis farm. Jean enjoyed setting her up.

Before her exit, Ruby wrongly accused Stacey Slater of assault with this leading to Stacey’s prison stint.

Now though, Louisa Lytton’s coming back to her role as Ruby Allen, just in time for the soap’s 40th celebrations! And, her stint will be a prolonged one.
