She is exquisite. She literally made the show and it went downhill when she was written off. Ratings proved it. I hope she will continue acting and getting amazing roles.

She was magnet of the show and her absence hurts me deeply

well I'm glad she's much happier in His Dark Materials

I was just binge watching on prime (end of 2021) and her abrupt death upset me so much I don’t even think I want to watch season 5. I cared about Alison and Cole the most. That ending made no sense, felt out of nowhere. So disappointing. But good for her for leaving it she felt it was an unsafe work environment. Such a shame. She made the show.

I have absolute respect for Ruth Wilson she’s a classy lady ♥️

Well good for her. Never watched the show, and I never will. She's way better off now. Love ❤️ her in His Dark Materials.

i’m glad she left and joined his dark materials instead

Sarah Treem is a hypocrite. She is so not a feminist, the show was so full of gratuitous sex scenes for the sake of titillation. Ruth did well to get out.

I adore her. She mesmerized on that show (as she does in everything she does). Her chemistry with Noah was fire. I stopped watching when they messed with the integrity of her character.

I LOVED the first 2 1/2 seasons…and then Bleah. When they fell in love and everything was grand…the whole Cole thing ruined it for me.

Typically i would not watch season 5 since Alison was killed. However, when i found out that Anna Paquin was playing Jodie I was all I love Anna P. I am halfway through season 5 now. The scene when Jodie confronts Ben is a tear-jerker.

This show absolutely did NOT need a 5th season..

Way to end this segment without a spoiler alert.👎

You know it's funny how these celebrities complain and cry over these roles as if they are in control over the creative writing. They are LITERALLY have a manager who finds roles for them and thereby auditioooon. Rachel Wilson is an incredible actress- But sorry, she is just that. An actress. She shouldn't be demanding, or trying to change anything of the script. As an actress she had the opportunity to look through the script before. She was awarded the job after she applied and got the part. You don't suddenly have control over where the writing goes. It is very ridiculous and selfish to do so and lastly she ruined it for those who liked the first part of the show. These things that are transparent are suddenly turned into victimizing circumstances. It's ridiculous
