Ruthie, How Do We Miss You? Let Us Count The Ways:


Ruthie didn't have a whole lot to do last season on 7th Heaven -- she spent most of her time moping about her unrequited crush on Martin. Okay, there was that Michael Feinstein teacher episode where she discovered the wonders of music -- but it was just a small break from the angsty Ruthie we'd grown used to.

Now that Mackenzie Rosman's taking a break from 7th Heaven, though, we have to admit we kind of miss Ruthie (it sounds like a lot of you do, too). Why, you ask? Well, we'll start you off -- feel free to post your own reasons:

1. No one knew how to stomp off quite like Ruthie.
2. She's supposed to be with Martin... if we had another season, he might've developed similar feelings.
3. We were looking forward to seeing how she'd turn out -- would she be as rebellious as Mary, or get married young like Lucy? Or none of the above?
4. Ruthie and Annie scenes were some of our favorites. Last season's Moving Ahead episode reinforced their bond, and it was nice to see.
5. Without Ruthie, the main characters are all a bit older -- there's no one between Martin/Sandy/Lucy's age range and the twins. We enjoyed the high school storylines and resulting drama that came along with Ruthie's storylines.
6. It was fun watching Ruthie grow up over the years. Check out the Ruthie photo gallery for lots more pics!

What do you think? Do you miss Ruthie? Think we'll get a guest appearance from her later this season? Or are you happy to see her go?

I Really Loved Ruthies Parts in 7th Heaven and If the Discontinue 7th Heaven I will miss seeing her in it. I always thought she was one of the Cute ones in the Show. I love the Show anyway it is My Favorite show and if they were to discontinue it I will be really upset. I would like to know some way I can contact her by e-mail if I can

Shay

Please bring 7th Heaven back. Martin and Sandy need to get married and have another kid. Besides I wanna see cute Aaron grow up. Thank god he's Martins kid. I love Sandy, Martin and Aaron!!!Save 7th Heaven for 10 more seasons (and not an end or final movie!)
and keep Haylie Duff on the show as a main character in all 10 more seasons!

i think that 7 heaven is the best show that u can watch it has all the things every one likes to see teenage love ,reason not to do drugs,and how to be a better christian im a teenager and i have seen this show practically since i was 7 or 8 years but the best thing about this show was RUTHIE WAS IN LOVE WITH MARTIN ........I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER SEASON WHERE SHE GETS MARRIED TO MARTIN .SIMION FINDS SOME ONE TOO THAT HE CAN MARRY AND AT THE END A FAMILY REUNIOUN

ruthie means a lot to the show,if there is no ruthie thers no drama,its the same with simon. you have to bring back more of simon and ruthie scenes together where they connect.

Come on...ya gotta bring Ruthie and Martin together! It just has to happen!

My husband and I watch 7th Heaven every Sunday, we even watch the repeats. I would love to see it come with a 12th season. I think they should try and bring back a few of the old kids like Simon and Mat, it will make it more intresting. Either way they need aleast one more season and end it with a really good ending.

i think ruthie should be back cuz without her its like not the complete story!!!its like if its spring were are the flowers???:(

I have watched 7th heaven since it first started oh so many years ago.yet I wish and hope for as many new episodes as everyone is willing to do and the networks are willing to air!!!Since they chose to bring the show back I honestly go through withdrawls when an episode is not aired!!The show teaches good morals and has brought up many topics an episode that help myself bring things up to our kids or if not for them they make me think for the better.We need more good family shows like this show!!

hi my name is patricia and I have been watching 7th heaven ever since I first seen it. I love the show and can anybody tell me why it's not on this week it's Jan. 7th 2007 is the season over?

Thanks!

It seems these day everything we watch is about death, violence war ect... 7th heaven is a great show, good values, morrows & it teaches us all how we should interact & treat others. They do it with a modern spin on (Religious) beliefs, not the one minded thinking. It show that we are not "PUT HEAR on this earth to see through each other, but to see one another through". That's a great Quote I heard & it is what this show does. I know that the final episodes was good, but it could of been more in-depth
story line of Martin & Ruthie, Simon & Sandy. It was a little disappointing that way, it kept us hanging & it shows that there are more story lines to be told. I was so happy to hear it was coming back. This year it started out very bad with most of the main Characters not there, but I seen that on tonight’s episode Ruthie was back & she called martin on the phone. Which sets up for a relationship between them. Great story line, PLEASE Don't screw with that. Didn't you hear of " if it isn't broken don't fix it? Same with Simon(Sandy) come on you can't leave that out is it simon's Baby or not?
Makes for GREAT TV, & 7th heaven can't be over, there are so many stories to be told & issues to cover. You know today in this world there is so many things that can get you down. You turn on the news & all you hear is war, killing, haltered & Sadness is all around us. Good TV as 7th heaven & storylines such as Martin, Ruthie, Sandy, Simon, Lucy ect.. helps take our mind off the Problems of the world for an hour. It's a good show No violence, about Family, Love & kindness. Also about struggles & Helping each other to work out those strugles out. Lets bring cast members back & there story lines like Ruthie(martin), Simon(sandy)after all that's what TV is for, a magical hour of having life work out....
Give the viewers what they want....

they are bring ruth back she start on next sunday night!!!!! The show is still great it just start off slow. I hope they bring on a 12 season. But I wish they would put it back on monday. It makes my monday have nothing to look further to. Please put it back on monday!!! The shows you put on monday are no good!!!! Bring back some good sitcom like alice, one day at a time, m.a.s.h ,all in the family, something worth watch beside people acting stupid. But 7th heaven is great and alway will be!!!

Ruthie used to be this fun, happy little girl with a big love for life! and she turned in to a little brat that roles her eyes and talks like a duck. I defientley miss the old ruthie, i understand that she is a teenager now and that shes gonna change but its a little drastic dont ya think? im a teenager and I still know how to smile, and not only to the boys I like. I want ruthie to come back as the happy girl we all used to know and love...

it sucks that they dont even talk about the other kids i mean comon...

I just have one question. Why does Ruthie talk so weird theese days? its like she is choking or something:S

i loved ruthie on 7th heaven. its not the same without her. she"s the reason why i love the show its my favorit show on t.v. i think she should of ended up with martin. and i don"t belive thats martin baby i belive its simons baby.

I want ruthie back, and one crazy thing! i want simon and cecilia together, it was the cutes romance...

the show is not the same without ruthie!!!! she is someone we can relate to and I actually miss the drama with her and martin! it made the show interesting!

Ruthie and Simon both need to appear. Mary gone is understandable, Matt gone is also understandable, but at least talk about them, like we do when our kids have moved away. You talk about them because you miss them not talking about them is like an elephant in the room that isn't mentioned.

Yes... the show is not the same with out Ruthie. My whole favorite story line was Ruthie being crazy about Martin. I think she HAS to come back and that Martin HAS to develope the same fellings towards her, and then my 7th Heaven expectations will be fulfilled.

WHY DID YOU PUT 7TH HEAVEN ON SUNDAY NIGHTS????? THEY ALWAYS DID WELL ON MONDAY'S. I MISS SEEING IT ON MONDAY'S. NOW I CAN'T WATCH IT BECAUSE YOU MOVED IT TO SUNDAY'S. I GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY NIGHT'S AND NOW CAN NOT WATCH THEM. I WILL NOT BE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL AGAIN UNLESS YOU PUT 7TH HEAVEN BACK ON MONDAY NIGHTS. IT WAS THE ONLY FAMILY SHOW LIKE OF IT'S KIND ON AT NIGHT. NO BAD LANGUAGE OR SEX SCENES OR ANYTHING YOU WOULDN'T WANT YOUR KIDS TO SEE. PLEASE PUT THEM BACK ON MONDAY'S. THANKS

Like so many other people have said ;-), even though Ruthie annoyed me during her ridiculous moping phase, I really miss her from the show. She did add some personality, and a bridge between the twins and Lucy. And, Lucy was a mopey kid, too...we just didn't see her as often with the other kids around to fill up the episodes. This season is feeling empty without Ruthie!!

ruthie was the only reason i watched the show! since i'm also a teenage girl, she's the only character i relate to and she should come back to the show, its just not the same and not as good without her!

she grew up and is pretty they need 2 keep good shows like this on and have old show info

Not just Ruthie, but I miss all the other cast members. So far, this season's turning out to be very disappointing. I don't think I'll be tuning in next week.

I miss the other cast members of 7th Heaven. When I was hoping that they do another season I wanted it with everyone. I have to say that if they were not going to bring the other cast members than they should have never start another season. I also miss Everwood a lot.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am so disappointed in this season's 7th Heaven. BORING~ what's with Lucy and a 15 year old, PU LEZE! Maybe it should have stayed retired.

I still can't believe this show is back on the air.

Ruthie is my favorite character. I really hope Mackenzie comes back.

Without Ruthie the show is just not as good... Ruthie is the one that all the teen girls turn to! so yah i really miss ruthie!! :(

Eh, I don't miss her.

She turned into a complete brat last season, which may just have to do with poor writing, I'm not sure. I wasn't sad at all though to hear she wasn't coming back.

Yeah Mackenzie. I'm so sad that you are not coming back. Everyear I said to my mom how big u get and all. I need to tell my Aunt Ro and her daugther my cousin Kelly that u are not coming back. I hope that u do some acting in the furter.

Mackenzie WILL be back for at least 7 episodes, beginning with episode 7. That's 5 weeks!

This has been confirmed by Entertainment Weekly, and I've read some of the script sides from ShowFax; she is in them.

YES WE ALL MISS RUTHIE THE SHOW ISNT THE SAME I THINKTHEY HAVE RUN OUT OF STORY LINES BECAUSE THE LONG AWAITED SHOWS SEEM TO BE PRETTY PATHETIC. MISS SIMON AND RUTHIE

The show is definitely not the same without Ruthie. She was and always will be my favorite character on the show. I hope we get her on for a few episodes at the least this season.

I only saw last nights show and do not know when the season started but while I was watching the beginning and saw that Simon and Ruthie were not in it, I was and am disappointed. This season is not starting off on a good foot at all.

i miss ruthie so much! its not the same without her! she brought spice to the show for all 10 seasons she did. i will never forget her or anyone else i hope the show goes on forever with lucy then savannah and so on!

If all the characters from the original 7th Heaven could not be on this season, they should not have gone ahead with the new season. It certainly is not Half as good as the old series!!!!

And, they should have definitely continued with the Everwood series.

I think Ruthie should totally be back on the show, It isn't the same without her on there. How did she leave the show? Does anyone know?

I do miss Ruthie very much, but I also miss Simon. We know Simon was going to get married but didn't, however what would he be doing nowadays?

With Ruthie & Simon both gone, it really doesn't make much of a storyline to go by. It would be great if Mary & her husband & Matt & his wife could be on the show every now & then this way we would have more of a variety. I miss having these characters in the storyline.

I'm glad "Happy" is back as she's such a cutie. It would be neat to have a special story with her too and maybe the "twins" could teach her new tricks; like playing ball or frisbee in the backyard. Perhaps there could even be an episode where Lucy & Kevin's dogs do tricks or play too.

I love 7th Heaven as it is such a great family show. It really shows how great it is for a family to bond together in different ways in life. It is quite refreshing to be able to see a great family show once in awhile.

Thank you for making such a great show.

Sincerely,

Ruth

without Ruthie 7th heaven will never be and is not the same!! NO ONE CAN REPLACE RUTHIE

I miss Ruthie. I like the fact that she's out of the country. We want many guest appearances. I loved her connection with Simon.

I agree. Ruthie annoyed me a bit last season with her moping around, but she still spiced things up a bit when they needed it! I'm hoping she comes back for at least a few episodes... it's just not 7th Heaven without her!
