EastEnders spoilers: Ruby Allen’s rape trial verdict reached as she faces rapists Matt and Ross in court
RUBY Allen’s rape trial kicks off in EastEnders next week as she confesses to Stacey Fowler that she now regrets spiking rapist Ross Swinden’s drink.
EE fans were stunned when Ruby – played by Louisa Lytton in the BBC soap – lured him to her flat and handed him a spiked drink and she’s now scared he’s going to use her actions against her in court.
Stacey – Lacey Turner – tries her best to reassure her before she heads to court. When Ruby arrives, she’s pleased to see Jay Brown has arrived to support her.
Encouraged by Jay’s words, Ruby makes a big decision about the trial.
But as she is forced to relive her ordeal in court, Ruby begins to struggle. Ross watches on defiantly but his accomplice Matt Clarkson is clearly struggling too.
When Stacey is called to the stand to give evidence, she’s nervous and – as she’s questioned by the defence team – she starts to unravel.
Later, Stacey beats herself up for messing things up for Ruby, but her friend realises giving evidence brought back painful memories for Stacey of her own rape ordeal at the hands of Archie Mitchell.
The women have a heart-to-heart and Stacey admits she never got to face him over what he did to her. Wanting to help Stacey get closure, Ruby takes Stacey to Archie’s grave where – after some encouragement – she finally says her piece and puts some demons to rest.
Seeing Stacey, Ruby realises she needs to do the same and heads off to hear Matt and Ross’s testimonies in court.
Ruby is pleased to see Jay there again while Matt buckles under pressure as he takes the stand.
Stacey, Martin and Jay all support Ruby as the jury come back with their verdict.
Will Matt and Ross be found guilty of rape?
