It's amazing what a few weeks and a couple of good storylines can do for a character. Not so long ago Ruth was probably one of the hated characters to appear in casualty over the years, as everyone saw her as a snooty stuck up bitch. Now we are seeing that Ruth has a heart and felings like everyone eles she just shows her emotions differently to others. No doubt over the next few weeks Ruth will become one of the much loved members of the casualty staff. I hope she sticks around for a while. It would be a shame if she was to leave the series early.
Well said! It's strange how the stories and emotions of a character make you like them more!
I like how the scriptwriters have given her a great role so far and this storyline is carrying that on, Nadia for example didn't really make much of an impact but Ruth is great, I hope she doesn't suceed with this suicide attempt and stays for ages :p
I think her contract is for a year, I remember her saying in an interview that she was staying for at least a year.
Yeah I agree too.
I also like how the writers have developed her character like this. You could slowly see her cracking I reckon.
Yeah they built it up with her father, and the mistakes she made and Nadia..etc, you can see how this would tip her over the edge. I like how the writers have given her a great storyline to come into, and have followed it, she hasn't just disappeared into the background like other characters have.Quote:

Casualty's junior doctor Ruth Winters has never been easy to like. She's cold and career driven, which hasn't made her very popular amongst her hospital colleagues.
'She's incredibly amitious and a real grafter' says Georgia Taylor, who plays Ruth. 'But socially she's useless.'
Where some people work to live, Ruth lives to work, which is why, when she makes a fatal error this week, she can't cope with the consequences.
'A patient comes in whom she assumes is a drunk,' explains Georgia. 'He's incoherent and stinks of alcohol. Ruth misdiagnoses him and misses the fact that he has a serious illness. It's not treated quickly and, as a result, he dies.'
Appalled by what's happened, Ruth snaps and, when she gets back to her halls of residence in a distraught state, she attempts to take her own life. Will anyone get to her in time to save her? (I find it quite funny that they say that and then put a picture of her being treated in the ED right next to the interview :lol:)
Looking back at Ruth's life, it's no wonder she takes such drastic action.
'She's never been praised or felt loved,' explains Georgia. 'Her father is an alcoholic who was abusive to her mum, and her brother, we find out, is in prison, while her mother eventualy committed suicide. I was lucky enough to have a very happy childhood, so I can't imagine the impact all that would have on someone.'
To fill that emotional hole, Ruth has put her all into her career, 'She's had no relationships, so there's something lacking,' says Georgia. 'It's like a pressure cooker that builds and builds. She already has a catalouge of mistakes behind her - I certainly wouldn't want her looking after me!'
