Luther's Ruth Wilson teases a possible return to the hit show
She appeared on Good Morning Britain
Luther star Ruth Wilson has teased a possible return to the popular thriller in an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (22nd August). The 41-year-old actress plays the character Alice Morgan in the BBC crime series which sees Idris Elba star as DCI John Luther.
Ruth played the role of Alice in series one to five of Luther, but did not feature in the Netflix film, Luther: The Fallen Sun, which was released earlier in the year. Despite Alice 'falling to her death', Ruth revealed that people will need to 'wait and see' when she was asked about a possible return to the show.
Talking to Good Morning Britain presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway, Ruth said: "I can't comment sorry. That's a very Alice answer.
"Wait and see as always, I'll keep the mystery forever unfolding. She's Alice always close, she's close to me all the time, so Alice is never far away."
In the fifth series of the show, Luther and Alice had a tense stand-off which resulted in Alice falling to her 'death' through scaffolding during a chase scene.
Ruth is set to star as Lorna Brady in the BBC drama The Woman in the Wall, which is inspired by Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and will hit screens on 27th August. Speaking about the show, she said: "Most jobs exhaust me.
"Yeah it was tiring, but I think there was enough lightness and fun actually. I did have fun playing Lorna. I mean she does some great things. And fun things. And the opening scene sets the whole show up.
"It's like this is not going to be your straightforward drama. This is going to be unusual, and this character's unusual, and it's going to surprise you.
"For example, the sleepwalking scene - that could have been a zombie sleepwalking scene. I watched people do sleepwalking videos. People record themselves sleepwalking and they're hilarious. So I was like, 'oh, I can go this route with it'. So you find the quirk in that darkness, you find the humour and the lightness and the humanity. And that gets you through."
Watch Good Morning Britain on weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
Take a look at the TV shows we'd love to make a return:
Footballers' Wives
Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives!
Bad Girls
Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.
The Bill
First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.
Don't Try This At Home
Who remembers sitting down in front of the TV on a Saturday night, watching on as Davina McCall helped members of the public take on tough and fearful challenges?
This needs to come back!
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch!
The show was also rebooted between 2018 and 2020 as a Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Ugly Betty
Believe it or not, it's been a massive 16 years since Ugly Betty last aired on our screens! The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.
Where The Heart Is
The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families.
It's a Knockout
It was stupid, it was crazy, but it was certainly fun! It's a Knockout started way back in 1966, but the show made a number of returns on BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5!
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
We'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks, however we got the next best thing earlier this year, with the Fresh Prince reboot called Bel Air, which was released earlier this year where Jabari Banks played Will Smith.
Stars In Their Eyes
A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!
The Queen's Nose
Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.
Gossip Girl
Although the show was given a reboot in 2021 with a brand new cast, it didn't live up to expectations of the original series, which aired between 2007-2012.
Fun House
We used to love watching two schools battle each other in three rounds of madness. Bring back the gunge and Pat Sharp's crazy hairstyles!
Grange Hill
Despite being at school all day, we loved to come home and watch other people be at school. Strange. But gripping story lines and relatable characters had us glued to our screens.
London's Burning
Airing between 1988 and 2002, London's Burning documented the lives of a fictional London Fire Brigade Blue Watch at the fictional Blackwall fire station.
The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory was on TV from 2007 until 2019. The show centred around two physicists who shared an apartment, Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter and Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, and their friendship with Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, who lived opposite.
Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones lasted for eight seasons between 2011 – 2019. The show starred Sean Bean as Eddard 'Ned' Stark and Kit Harington as Jon Snow.
House of Dragons is the new prequel but we really wish we'd have gotten more (or another ending) to the original Game of Thrones TV show. Who knows, maybe when the last book is out they might make some more episodes…
