"I don't have time to watch TV at the moment, I watched it to get back into it after 15 years but I'm just too busy now," Louisa said.
It has also been an especially precious period for her seeing as she had been waiting "a long time" to become a mother.
"Mum life is really good, she's seven months now. It's my first Mother's Day, it's just flown by," she added.
"It's what I've always dreamed of, I waited a very long time for it, I just love every minute at the moment."
In her last appearance in EastEnders, Lytton's Ruby was seen riding away in a police car last September, while holding a positive pregnancy test.
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
