[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[Tea Lady]

I think he had to put some distance between them and needs to do so going forward, if they are to continue to work together. Things can't just carry on like they were, and Ruth can not have it both ways. If she doesn't want Harry in that way, then she needs to leave him be. How is he ever supposed to move on if she is always in his office, being kind to him, saying soothing words.

I agree that the writers have not always been consistent here but I always feared that Ruth's actions towards the end of Series 8 were that of just a friend or a "mother."

I know JHyde thinks this is the end for now, but I just can't believe they would get it to this point, and not do anything more with it.
