[Spoilers] Episode 7 Summary

[A Cousin]

My stomach hurts.

Series 9 as it pertains to H & R Spoiler: show

The thought of writing out Ruth and/or Harry upsets me to no end. Frankly, IMO, PF is going no where. The ratings would plummet if he did. I could see where NW could get written out. Again. As long as those two get their sh** together and it were very, very cleverly written, I *think* I would be able to swallow it. Eventually. With a very large cheesecake and a very good bottle of scotch. Their relationship certainly needs a catalyst. Ruth getting the sh** kicked out of her might be it. IMO, a dead Ruth would mean an S10 with a very emotional Harry teetering on the edge and possibly going off the deep end. Which would certainly be a way to end the show overall! And if it does go onto an S11 (I can hope) where would Harry go from there? Conversely, an alive Ruth would mean a) H&R not "together" and more will they/won't they which has been examined quite thoroughly and satisfactorily in S9, or b) H&R together and themes that examine the price of being together in that situation.
