It’s a shame it seems things did not end on good terms. I really like Ruth and will miss her portraying Allison.

[gerryday]

I wish Ruth nothing but the best in her future endeavors. She's a terrific actress.

[Liz]

Well, this series lost a wonderful actress...

[youbetterskidoo]

Weird that they didn't wrap up the series this season. I have no interest in a Ruth-free version of this show.

She is a brilliant actress. I did grow bored of the love triangle story line. But was excited about the potential spark for her to grow more into her self, her power and independence. Its a shame that they killed her character. Her ending on the show looks as brutal as the end of her relationship with show time. Gracefully handled Ruth

Ruth Wilson was basically the show..after Alison is gone, what's the point?

[supergran]

I've followed Ruth's career since 2006 when she was the BEST Jane Eyre I'd ever seen. I knew she'd do well. :)

Ruth is as good as it gets...tremendous actress, no limit on her potential on screen with anybody, she shines like a brilliant star!

The female show runner and creator of this show Sarah Treem is horrendous for not standing up for her. I believe Ruth over any of them

[marciamuller]

The thing is, if she’s chosen to leave the show, she obviously had good reasons for that, since she is clearly very loved and appreciated for The Affair fans. I really wish that Ruth finds happines on this new show, and I’ll keep following her work! She is an amazing actress!! ❣️

She was the best thing on the show, I will really miss her.

Didnt know she was British. ❤ her accent. Kudos 2 her acting chops w/ an American accent ... She was GREAT on 'The Affair'. Gd luck w/ her next projects! 😀

[iamvince]

Oh god! After hearing her accent I think I fell in love with her even more... ❤️🔥🥰

[CommanderFrcklz]

She is such a brilliant actress. She her as hedda gabler and she was sublime. No one ever asks her about luther in interviews!!

[tamilynn]

Sad she left....I will still watch for Joshua Jackson!!

[ComradeStiv]

The details of her departure from The Affair were eventually revealed, and are easily googled. Ruth was absolutely unforgettable and mesmerizing. She fell off my radar for a while and I'm eager to catch up on her works since.

Wow. Allison was the main character of the Affair. It's a shame she is gone and maybe we will hear the reason.

[clarktownsend]

yeah yeah all nice but ask her about Alice Morgan, the greatest character in TV history.

[victoriajones]

If she's doing the same job as dom west she should be getting the same pay simple. Their loss good for her for taking a stand

[sammysworld]

Ruth Wilson is such an incredible actress! Was very upset too when they killed off her character in The Affair. Now we know why the show is wrapping up this year. The show can’t survive w/o the main character.
