'Home and Away' Ruby 'hits self-destruct'

Home and Away actress Rebecca Breeds has said that her character Ruby will soon be in grave danger after falling "into despair".

In coming weeks, audiences will see feisty Ruby pursue high-school heart-throb Romeo, despite him being in a relationship with her best friend Indi. However, after finally getting her man, Romeo betrays her, sending Ruby into a downward spiral.

Breeds told TV Week: "Ruby is friends with Indi and she cares for her, but in her mind she thinks Indi will be happier in the long run if she's not with Romeo. They've been going in different directions lately and she thinks Indi will get over it.

"[But when Romeo dumps her] she's so distraught that her health begins to suffer - and it's a big deal because she's diabetic. She's fallen so far into despair that she can't be bothered looking after herself."

Samara Weaving, who plays Indi, recently revealed that her character will need time to grieve following the development.
