She was last seen in November 2021 having claimed to be pregnant with Martin Fowler’s baby.

However after her previous lies and scheming Martin refused to believe her – but will she return with the baby?

Ruby’s exit saw her be framed for Jean Slater’s cannabis farm in revenge for her sending Stacey to prison for a faked assault.

But now the truth will finally be exposed as Ruby returns to the Square to cause chaos for Martin and her old best friend Stacey Slater.

Actress Louisa has already begun filming for her stint.

Speaking about her return, Louisa Lytton said: “I am thrilled to have been asked back to the Square to revisit Ruby once more, and to shed some light on what the past three years have been like for her during her time away from Walford.

“I’ve always loved playing Ruby as there is never a dull moment and I cannot wait for everyone to see what Ruby has in store.”

Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer added: “I’m delighted to welcome Louisa Lytton back to the role of Ruby Allen.

“Ruby’s departure from Walford left many unanswered questions for Martin and Stacey, and her return is sure to unearth a whole heap of drama for her character and all those involved.”

EastEnders shock as Ruby Allen FINALLY confesses to framing Stacey Slater for her miscarriage

This return is the latest in a long line of major comebacks for the show ahead of its big 40th anniversary next February.

Bosses have announced comebacks for Patsy Palmer as Bianca Jackson, Michael French as her dad David Wicks.

And next week fans will be treated to the return of the iconic villain Chrissie Watts.

MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?

The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.

Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.

Yet what about the 2024 exits?

Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.

It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.

Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.

Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.

Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.

One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.

He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.

Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.

Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.

Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.

She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.

She will appear on screens from Monday and is set to cause chaos in the soap.

Actress Tracy-Ann Oberman has made her return for a short stint as Chrissie that is shrouded in secrecy but airs next week.
