Although we would love to say that Ruby was returning to the St. Marie police force was season 11, it looks like Shyko won’t be reprising her role quite yet. The actress recently shared a post revealing a new mindfulness and wellbeing practice, The Mind Matters Practice, while joking about auditioning for roles.

Shyko left the show ahead of season ten
After leaving the show in 2019, Shyko thanked her fans via her YouTube channel, saying: "Thank you for giving Ruby a chance because at first you really didn’t. You were rough on me the first couple of episodes. I remember one of the articles, ‘Ruby slammed, she’s awful.’

“My little heart almost broke. I was like, ‘Oh my god, they hate me.’ I read all the comments, ‘she’s so annoying,’ ‘she’s so boring,’ ‘I can’t stand her.’ And she probably was a bit annoying actually, I can see that. Thank you for getting behind her.”
The BBC also released a statement that read: "After two series bringing law, order, and joy to the streets of Saint Marie, we’re sad to say goodbye to Ruby Patterson who made such a massive impact in such a short time!”
