The Hollywood Reporter released a story today shedding more light. And as suspected, "Toxic Work Environment" played a role. Someone responded on Twitter they were on set for Season1 and everyone was patient, except one guy, and it was "that guy"
She is a brilliant actress. I did grow bored of the love triangle story line. But was excited about the potential spark for her to grow more into her self, her power and independence. Its a shame that they killed her character. Her ending on the show looks as brutal as the end of her relationship with show time. Gracefully handled Ruth
I can't even consider alison dead in the affair because she is one of the best characters in the show and she is attractive, including season 3 she has been great. To me she's always going to be alive
I felt the same way but I think they wrapped it up really well with every plotline and character. It really came full circle. It would have been better if Cole and Allison had been able to return to each other but they resolved that certain trauma in a satisfying way.
While the show is written as though the main characters are Noah and Helen, the viewers' emotional investment certainly goes to Cole and Alison. There were some nice elements to the Season 5 finale, but still, not everyone will want to wade through all the additional trials and tribulations to find out what finally happens to the Solloways.
The thing is, if she’s chosen to leave the show, she obviously had good reasons for that, since she is clearly very loved and appreciated for The Affair fans. I really wish that Ruth finds happines on this new show, and I’ll keep following her work! She is an amazing actress!! ❣️
Didnt know she was British. ❤ her accent. Kudos 2 her acting chops w/ an American accent ... She was GREAT on 'The Affair'. Gd luck w/ her next projects! 😀
The details of her departure from The Affair were eventually revealed, and are easily googled. Ruth was absolutely unforgettable and mesmerizing. She fell off my radar for a while and I'm eager to catch up on her works since.
Ruth Wilson is such an incredible actress! Was very upset too when they killed off her character in The Affair. Now we know why the show is wrapping up this year. The show can’t survive w/o the main character.
I had not seen Luther, and heard such good things, plus I love both Ruth Wilson and Idris Elba, that i just bought the dvd of the first season so I can get caught up!
Just finished the last episode of Season 4 tonight and found the death of Allison a shocker and depressing, as if the show isn't depressing in its own way enough! I heard there will be a Season 5, but as far as I'm concerned they ended this season well enough to leave as is. I know all good things must come to an end, but too bad it couldn't have ended happily. With her and Cole reunited... Helen and Noah reunited after her doctor love's death and coming full circle, so to speak, back to the beginning. Would have been an interesting spin with all the two main couples having gone through all they had gone through. Would have been even better if it was all a story written by Noah after having seen Allison that first time and we find out it all never happened. But...not to be I guess. Don't think I will watch Season 5 with Allison gone. She was the center of the wheel around which all of the other characters circled.
it's already been reported that she left b/c of lack of pay parity. When she says "I've never complained to Showtime..." that seems evasive. She wouldn't have had to c/o to Showtime - she could have made her point further down the chain of command. An opportunity for real change and awareness seems to have been completely lost.
It wasn't lack of pay... It just came out that she left because of the graphic nudity and they kept asking her to be naked for no work-related reasons at all. Then she also found out that while they were filming the sex scenes, the camera was hooked to some kind of monitor that would stream (allegedly) the scenes to other people or the web. Later, a few other writers and producers have lunch with the powers-that-be from The Affair and the Affair crew complains about Ruth and advises Lena Dunham to coach her how to get naked more often. They then start rating the bodies of other actresses and show screenshots of another Affair actresses naked and with a penis close to her face, indicating that they were taking pictures of the actresses while filming them during their sex scenes. The entertainment industry is dark asl and these actresses are falling for their lies
She left because of nude scenes she was not comfortable with , she felt they were gratuitous. The director Sarah Treem was too blame. She was bullying Ruth into sex scenes that were out and out abusive.
I like her so much!!! Such an amazing actress and all her perfomances in differents movies and series were outstanding!!!!💛💙💜💚❤you have to see her in tv series "LUTHER" with co star Idris Elba !!!they had great chemistry and she played a totaly different role💛💙💜 in that tv show😀😀best actress ever💙💜💚
I can't believe she's really gone from the affair I love her to me this whole show is about her & Noah with everyone else making it very interesting sad ending for alison

I can't believe she's British! I had no idea! These British celebs can really fool the viewer with speaking like a natural American. I also thought The Dr from "House" was American until I heard his British accent. I can't believe they killed Allison off, and also by the way, everything thinks she committed suicide by drowning, even till the end of the episode in the final episode of season 3. I would have suspected that they would have found out that Ben was the one who killed her. I guess we'll find out in season 4, otherwise they'll just leave it at that and make everyone think she killed herself when that's really not what happened. Did the writers/producers/director intend to leave it as a suicide when we saw what really happened?
25 September 2019: Sorry The Affair is almost over - I can't imagine a Sunday night without watching Allison and Cole and Noah, etc. etc. I am continuing to watch, but not with the intensity of before. Ruth Wilson is amazing -- I'm going to be sure and watch her in The Little Stranger. Now I have to go back to see what happened to Cole....... I'm not liking this at all.
Well I didn't know this. I'm only like four episodes in the new season. But I definitely won't be watching with Allison gone. I like Sanaa Lathan but her character is-bleh. Super done with the show.
Wow sucks she left. The 3rd season was awful. On par with Bobby Ewing in the shower. Was going to watch the 4th just because of her. I won’t now. But pleeeeassse fingers crossed we get the return of Alice on Luther! Also the character of Alice reminds me so much of the female prisoner on Oz who killed her kids
Just finished The Affair. Big shame they let her go because she didnt want to do so many nude scenes. She won a Golden Globe for christ sake. I think they made an example of her. 1 year later it and never would have ended this way. In fact, its totally ironic they made #metoo movement a story arc in S5...after she quit due to unjustifiable nudity requirements.
Notice how when she’s asked if it was pay parity, she shrewdly doesn’t just say no. No denial. She speaks in legalese and says ‘I never complained to Showtime’. Meaning, it could be about pay parity, but I didn’t GO to Showtime to complain about it. Meaning:clear as day, she was punished by Showtime and made miserable for speaking to OTHERS about the pay parity. Meaning: her terms of departure forbade her from publicly speaking about this despicable treatment. She became persona non grata as soon as she spoke to other outlets. While I’m terribly sad Showtime chose to mistreat her so egregiously, I’m still invested in Cole’s future so I’ll see it through to the end. And I will continue to follow Ruth’s work. I discovered her several years ago in Jane Eyre. She’s a magical performer who elevates everything she works on. Shame on Showtime.
Eugeniya Leshenko Yes it is a spoiler for many; ever heard of netflix, binge watching, etc.?Everyone watches shows at their own pace these days. My comment was for the channel, not you.
I disliked her character, she was weak , manipulative and pitiful. Never could stand up for what she deserved and how she should have been treated. Very troubled character.

True, but she was also tired of having to shoot those sex scenes. In real life, she seems like a very very confident, solid woman. I can also assume that it wasn't easy playing a character like Rose, plus the American Accent, which she can do flawless.
James Sabatini I wonder what people say about your looks. We can't change how we look, unless we do plastic surgeries. Thankfully some people are better than that.
It’s a shame it seems things did not end on good terms. I really like Ruth and will miss her portraying Allison.
Angela Rossi Robert red fern how old and does he have any children

I wish Ruth nothing but the best in her future endeavors. She's a terrific actress.
Ruth Wilson was basically the show..after Alison is gone, what's the point?
Well, this series lost a wonderful actress...
Yes ....Her acting is so serious..Love it
I've followed Ruth's career since 2006 when she was the BEST Jane Eyre I'd ever seen. I knew she'd do well. :)
You should watch Jane Eyre with William Hurt and Charlotte Gainsborough. Let me know what you think, it is masterful!
Omg she did Jane Eyre????! A beloved actress doing one of my favorite novels!! 😍
Weird that they didn't wrap up the series this season. I have no interest in a Ruth-free version of this show.
Doodlee Pigvirus Me neither. Just no thanks!
I agree. Why bother without her!
I felt the same way but I think they wrapped it up really well with every plotline and character. It really came full circle. It would have been better if Cole and Allison had been able to return to each other but they resolved that certain trauma in a satisfying way.

Ruth is as good as it gets...tremendous actress, no limit on her potential on screen with anybody, she shines like a brilliant star!
The female show runner and creator of this show Sarah Treem is horrendous for not standing up for her. I believe Ruth over any of them
Well to make a show like the affair she has a low opinion of female to male relationships anyway.
Does anyone know what actually happened?
@Lacsap G. No, it can't be that. If Showtime really silenced her on that, they're trash.
@@TheCedilia The Hollywood Reporter has a post today that gives more details behind her departure.
Sarah Treem is the opposite of a feminist.
She was the best thing on the show, I will really miss her.
Thank you Alison 👏 👏 👏 👏 thank you Alison 👏 👏 👏 👏 thank you Alison 👏 👏 👏 👏
Me too! 😣
Didnt know she was British. ❤ her accent. Kudos 2 her acting chops w/ an American accent ... She was GREAT on 'The Affair'. Gd luck w/ her next projects! 😀
same😬
Me either
She is such a brilliant actress. She her as hedda gabler and she was sublime. No one ever asks her about luther in interviews!!
Wow. Allison was the main character of the Affair. It's a shame she is gone and maybe we will hear the reason.
Yeah alison was one of my favourite characters too
Sad she left....I will still watch for Joshua Jackson!!
Me too
Well, we'll only have to watch it without her for 1 more season. They said next season is the last (the affair) posted it on their fb page.
@@Dvc19
Yep and at least you've seen her most of the time
and he left the show too but we still have Maura Tierney
The details of her departure from The Affair were eventually revealed, and are easily googled. Ruth was absolutely unforgettable and mesmerizing. She fell off my radar for a while and I'm eager to catch up on her works since.
She’ll be missed
One of the best characters
I wanted Cole and Allison to get back together sometimes these shows have bad ending
jessee bellew Me too. Frankly her leaving ruined the show. It sounds the creators and producers really messed it up. My show is gone!!!
Oh god! After hearing her accent I think I fell in love with her even more... ❤️🔥🥰
I cried when she died I was like please no no no no this can’t be
Ruth Wilson is such an incredible actress! Was very upset too when they killed off her character in The Affair. Now we know why the show is wrapping up this year. The show can’t survive w/o the main character.
If she's doing the same job as dom west she should be getting the same pay simple. Their loss good for her for taking a stand
Aww she’s lovely.
Can’t get used to her English accent lol Loved her in The Affair with the American accent
I really think that the show without Ruth it will be another story. It's not fair she died. Really . I'm so sad.
I really, really, loved Ruth in this show.
yeah yeah all nice but ask her about Alice Morgan, the greatest character in TV history.
yes she is wonderful with Idris Elba, and there is another season coming, but will she be in it?
Jody Conway yes she is. there are photos of her on set when they were filming earlier this year. Unclear if it is new or flashbacks though.
excellent, thank you
I had not seen Luther, and heard such good things, plus I love both Ruth Wilson and Idris Elba, that i just bought the dvd of the first season so I can get caught up!
amy butchas 1st season is soooo good. You will end up agreeing Ruth's Alice Morgan is the best character ever.
Just finished the last episode of Season 4 tonight and found the death of Allison a shocker and depressing, as if the show isn't depressing in its own way enough!

I wonder too if they will get Noah and Helen back together (although I doubt she could trust him again).
I was thinking as well what if everything was just a story in Noah's head?
Without Alison the show is dead!
Uh! Spoiler! Wtf?!
Will miss your character Ruth
This episode in the clip is one of the best hours of tv. Unbelievably good.
The role of Alison deserves better end😥😥😥
I love her
I was SHOCKED when Alison got killed.... 🙁😢😣😖
Does anybody know if there will be a book or ebook version of “the affair”?
she is too good for that show u can tell
I honestly thought that Cole's wife did it.
Me too.
Luisa’s a whiner but one of the only sane characters on the show.
it's already been reported that she left b/c of lack of pay parity. When she says "I've never complained to Showtime..." that seems evasive. She wouldn't have had to c/o to Showtime - she could have made her point further down the chain of command. An opportunity for real change and awareness seems to have been completely lost.
She seems contractually bound say say nothing about why she left, so opportunity or not she can't.
It wasn't lack of pay...

PrettyTiaF that’s horrific! If that’s true, that needs to be exposed openly!! What an awful impression for a Brit to have of making an American show!

For those who have not watched ‘The Affair’ yet be aware there is a major spoiler in this interview.
I can't believe she's really gone from the affair I love her to me this whole show is about her & Noah with everyone else making it very interesting sad ending for alison
I think she wanted to leave because the show went downhill after season 2. It’s gotten ridiculous.

There’s no such thing as a British accent!
But I only watch The Affair because of her! Also Dom, but mostly her. Don’t think I could watch the next season
The Affaier lost a brilliant Actress. Who will watch the next season and why?
Leo No
I feel the same way. What´s the point? She is the soul of the show. I really wanted her to finally find happiness after all the pain...
I will, only one other show where I haven't missed an episode. One more season, why not??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
To see Cole get Ben and justice for Alison.
this show is over to me! without Allison this show is no sense
Then you aren't a real fan if you say the show is done without her Haha come on now
25 September 2019: Sorry The Affair is almost over - I can't imagine a Sunday night without watching Allison and Cole and Noah, etc. etc. I am continuing to watch, but not with the intensity of before.

The 4th season is really great, not like the 3rd. And she is brilliant in the 4th, it is worth watching.
The 4th season was so much better. Also, Alice died on Luther so unfortunately I don't think it'll happen
She sounded a bit upset when she said she couldn't talk about leaving the show. It all came out I guess
Only season 1 and 2 are canon the rest were a shared illusion.
Why did she leave the show
Wayne Hoxit from Ben
I clocked the shade. Now go ask her dad for forgiveness.
Just finished The Affair. Big shame they let her go because she didnt want to do so many nude scenes. She won a Golden Globe for christ sake.

Шикарнейшая актриса! С переводом бы её послушать
Marisa Coulter
Everybody knows it's because of equal pay why is she not allowed to talk about it?
Myriem F my question too. Wonder if it had to do with sexual harrassment. What other reason would she not be allowed to say any thing
It probably had to do with letting her out of her contract. Probably legal issues which prevents her from talking about it.
Notice how when she’s asked if it was pay parity, she shrewdly doesn’t just say no. No denial. She speaks in legalese and says ‘I never complained to Showtime’.

I liked her playing Jane Eyre too. I think she is the best Jane Eyre ever.
She makes more than other main cast members.
Would have LOVED a SPOILER ALERT IN THE TITLE!😤

I'm just glad shes available for Luther. Period. Full Stop.
For some reason Alison annoyed me
Я её обожнюю😘

The Affair had a terrible final season without her or Josh.
I disliked her character, she was weak , manipulative and pitiful. Never could stand up for what she deserved and how she should have been treated. Very troubled character.

Those glasses are just too small...
I Neve I’m understand way he fella fore her Alice in the affair never liked her then I stopped watching in it
I imagine she quit after reading the script. Season 4 was very weak (which is a shame as the first three were amazing).
She left the show because the writers are sexist.
I did read an interview where she complained about that.
No she was complaining about not getting paid more like dominic west and josh Jackson
True, but she was also tired of having to shoot those sex scenes. In real life, she seems like a very very confident, solid woman. I can also assume that it wasn't easy playing a character like Rose, plus the American Accent, which she can do flawless.
I know, and most of the writers (and one creator of the series) are women
They must be compensating for something.
Wtf is with those glasses on Gayle?
WTF is that thing in the pink glasses? wow
WTF is your horrible disgusting comment?
Childish style
I like ruth
