Ruth Wilson teases a return to Luther during an appearance on Good Morning Britain, despite her character ‘plunging Alice to her death’
Ruth Wilson hinted at a possible return to hit thriller Luther during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old actress, who plays the character Alice Morgan, said people had to “wait and see” after being asked about a return even though her character “fell to her death”.
Speaking to presenters Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway, she said, “I’m sorry I can’t comment.” That’s a very Alice response.
“Hold on as always, I’ll make sure the secret is out forever.” She is [Alice] Always close, she’s near me all the time, so Alice is never far away.’
In season five, Luther, played by Idris Elba, 50, and Alice in the thriller got into a tense altercation that resulted in her falling to her “death” after falling through scaffolding in a chase.

Possible return: The 41-year-old actress, who plays the character Alice Morgan, said people had to “wait and see” after being asked about a return even though her character “fell to her death”.
Despite her “death,” Idris revealed during an appearance on Capital Radio in March that psychopathic Alice may still be alive in the “Luther universe.”
The pair have one of the most dysfunctional relationships on screen, and after fans urged Ruth to reprise her role as Alice, it became clear the door was open for a return.
Even if she doesn’t appear in the latest installment in the series – a movie called Luther: The Fallen Sun – that doesn’t mean she’ll never be seen again.
When asked on Capital Radio if there would be a Luther spin-off after Alice, Idris revealed, “This is a question for Neil Krause, who writes Luther, and I think he’s definitely thought about it.”
“And I think we all fancied an Alice show because it would just be awesome.” But I also think that Alison isn’t dead in the Luther universe.
“Because when it comes to performance tracking, you can be anything.” I’ll be back as Alice!’
Ruth also opened up about her latest project, The Woman In The Wall, and what it was like preparing for the role in the all-new drama.
She said, “Most jobs exhaust me.” Yes, it was exhausting, but I think there was enough lightness and fun in it, I really enjoyed playing Lorna.

“I mean, she does some great things.” And funny things. And the opening scene sets up the whole show. It seems that this will not be your easy drama. This is going to be unusual and this character is unusual and it will surprise you.
“Like the sleepwalking scene, that could have been a zombie sleepwalking scene.” I’ve seen people do sleepwalking videos.
“People record them sleepwalking and they’re hilarious.” So I was like, oh, I can go that route with that.
“So you find the individuality in that darkness, you find the humor and the lightness and the humanity.” And that gets you through it.’
