rewatching casualty and we're at ruby's first episode in casualty and sam and iain are so shitty to her. like yeah she's not perfect but like my dudes ?? wtf. yeah, she might have fucked up with daisy the second time, but what she did was literally what the guidelines of her job told her to do, whether that would be considered morally right by everyone or not.

sam and iain definitely aren't my favourite characters by any stretch but i honestly hated them this episode. ruby, to me at least, seems like she might be autistic (doesn't like eye contact, strict moral guide/follows rules, misunderstanding of allistics confusing social rules, etc) and they mocked and belittled her basically the entire episode (quite frankly, it felt a whole lot like ableism to me).

#bbc casualty #i love her so much already #shes literally me fr #also i could literally make a post about the way sam interacts with characters who are either canonically or implicitly autistic #loads of people seem to love sam but i think if she was real and we met she would hate me and i would hate her #i kinda liked iain when dixie (my beloved) was there but hes so much of a lad stereotype sometimes #i think the thing with rita put me off him a bit dont get me wrong she shouldnt have lied but he was a dick too #it just felt like the show never acknowledged that anywhere near enough #ruby spark #sam nichols #iain dean #oops mispelt ruby's name and had to retype the tag :/
