I also hope they possibly develop her relationship with Whale - maybe there will be a joint explanation as to why both of them have been gone since season 3. However, I haven't heard anything about David Anders coming back, so i'm not getting my hopes up.

Also, I bet Beverly Elliott is ecstatic. I posted this in another thread, but it answers your question, so I'm posting it again here:

Maybe, but I doubt it. Besides, I think everyone forgets all of season 4 took place over the course of like 2 to 4 weeks (1 to 2 weeks for Frozen, 1 to 2 weeks for Queens of Darkness, with a 6 week time jump seperating them). So while we had a lot of episodes we didn't see Ruby, it was not a lot of time we didn't see Ruby. Ruby being "in the back" every time characters are in Granny's is not that strange if you really think about it. I mean Granny owns the diner and the bed and breakfast, so there is alot of work to be done. And seeing as they already established that Granny is planning on giving Ruby the businesses, it makes sense she would be working on alot of the behind the scenes stuff.
