EastEnders star James Bye calls for answer to Ruby Allen mystery
We all want to know!
There was one big mystery hanging over EastEnders when Ruby Allen (played by Louisa Lytton) left the BBC soap.
And it seems even some of the cast are desperate to know what happened to Ruby - including James Bye, who plays Martin Fowler.

Bye said: "The great thing [executive producer] Chris [Clenshaw] does is he hints at stuff without giving too much away. For me as an actor, knowing some of the stuff coming in...
"There are some storylines with Stacey. Martin and Stacey get quite close. I won't tease in what way, romantically or not, but they've got a nice storyline coming up.
"Obviously, we know the baby's coming..."
