Poldark Minor Characters Appreciation 2 Weeks:

Day 5: A minor character you want to get back, but they magically disappeared and you’re sad - Ruth Teague-Treneglos

Ruth disappears quite quickly from both the series and the books, and wasn’t perhaps the nicest person ever, but I feel like she was a really interesting antagonistic(ish) figure with potential of future character development (it would require some changes, but it’s an adaptation after all). I remember that in the books she was mentioned to be somewhat respected by George, and her marriage to John Treneglos not being a happy one. It would be great to see another, more vulnerable side of Ruth - for example when she gave birth to a firstborn daughter, disappointing basically everybody in her husband’s family, and see her coping with that.
