“People on the show think it’s too little, too late,” they continued. “The feud runs deeper than Holly seems to understand – it’s going to take a lot for Ruth to forgive and forget.” They added: “She would rather stay out of having to have any peace talks with Holly because, in her mind, the damage has been done.
