Ruby Rogers, played by Yesse Spence, made her first on-screen appearance on 22 September 2010. She arrives in town with her cousin Poppy.

Ruby and Poppy (Gabriella Darlington) are British backpackers who are first seen when they end up in Charlie's Bar. Both of the girls soon attract the attention of some of the local male residents, but Ruby is the one they are most interested in. They have no previous connection to Ramsay Street. Ruby is an Australian who has been living in the UK for a while. During her time in town, Ruby begins a relationship with Michael Williams (Sandy Winton). Winton revealed that Poppy and Michael's daughter, Natasha (Valentina Novakovic) "reluctantly" push them together. Ruby and Michael have a lot of fun together and it is Michael first relationship in "a while". Natasha does not like Michael dating Ruby, but she sees that Michael is happy. Before Ruby goes back home, they go surfing and manage to have an entire relationship in one day. Winton added that Michael is sad when it is all over. In December 2010, Jordy Lucas (who plays Summer Hoyland) called for Ruby's return, she added "I think Ruby was fantastic and it was nice for Michael to have a strong connection with her as well."

Ruby is Poppy's older cousin and she lives in London. The girls arrives in Erinsborough together and go to Charlie's bar. They get to know Zeke Kinski (Matthew Werkmeister) and Ringo Brown (Sam Clark), before talking to Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) and Michael Williams. Ruby likes that Michael is a school principal and that he has a strong relationship with his daughter. Poppy tells Ruby to give Michael her number and she does. Ruby and Poppy return to the bar and see Michael and Lucas again, they tell the guys that they have changed their plans about passing through. Poppy asks Michael why he did not call Ruby and he replies that he did not think she was serious. Ruby says she was and asks Michael to breakfast the next day. Michael and Ruby get on well, but when they go to the bathroom, Michael's daughter, Natasha, tells Poppy that he father has a different girl each week. Poppy tells Ruby, but Michael realises that Natasha was trying to put Ruby off. He and Ruby then arrange another date. Michael and Ruby text each other and when he gets home from work, Ruby and Poppy are waiting for him. Michael and Ruby then go out to dinner. When Natasha asks Ruby and Poppy to go shopping with her and Summer Hoyland, Ruby declines. Ruby and Poppy spot Natasha outside and she asks if they can hang out. Natasha then says that all men are gross and Ruby tells her that her father is not. Ruby believes that Natasha does not like the idea of her going out with her father. She tells her that she and Michael are having fun and that Natasha is making too much of a deal out of the situation. Natasha tells her that she does not want Michael to get hurt. Ruby meets up with Michael and tells him that she is going home because she misses London. She says that she really likes him, but it is better to leave now rather than later.

Natasha runs into Ruby and Poppy at Harold's Store and tells Ruby to meet up with Michael before she goes. Ruby tells her that she and Poppy have too much to do, but Poppy thinks it is a great idea. Ruby says that she will have to say goodbye to Michael all over again and that it was hard enough the first time. Ruby and Michael are set up by Natasha and they talk. They tell Natasha and Poppy that they have decided to end everything, until Poppy tells them to have an entire relationship in one day. Ruby and Michael enjoy themselves and Michael later tells Ruby that they should not let their relationship go and asks her to stay. Ruby tells Michael that she really likes him, but she cannot abandon her whole life in England. Ruby then tells him that the day is not over yet and they spend all night at the beach. Ruby and Michael say goodbye at Harold's Store, before she and Poppy leave for the airport.

    With many a fall shall linger near.
