 Ruby later starts to have feelings for Romeo Smith ( Luke Mitchell ) . Of the storyline Breeds states : " It 's going to be the easiest thing I 've ever had to do . There 's no acting involved at all . But he 's got a girlfriend so Ruby has to find a way to justify going after someone who has a girlfriend . So that 's kind of hard . But he 's the hero . She believes he 's the love of her life . I guess with that in mind you wouldn 't let anything get in the way of that . Who knows , he might be . " However Breeds previously revealed she did not want the pair to romance each other , due to her real life relationship with Mitchell . Mitchell himself had also revealed he did not want the pair to start a romance . In comparison to her willingness to take him from Indigo , Breeds said Ruby would not have done the same whilst Romeo was with her best friend Annie Campbell ( Charlotte Best ) .
