Hold onto your hats, soap fans! Samantha Womack, the unforgettable Ronnie Mitchell from EastEnders, has teased a potential return to the show! If you’re still mourning Ronnie’s tragic demise back in 2017, there might just be a glimmer of hope. Remember how Ronnie heroically jumped into a swimming pool to save her sister, Roxy, on her wedding day, only for her dress to tragically weigh her down? Well, just like Kathy Beale’s surprise return after faking her death, fans have been clamouring for Ronnie to make a comeback.
In a cheeky chat with Love Island’s Amy Hart on her Mum’s Club podcast, Samantha coyly hinted at the possibility, saying she’s flattered fans are eager enough to look beyond plotlines. Although she’s soaking up the sun in Spain these days, Samantha is amazed by the love she still receives from EastEnders fans whenever she’s back in the UK.
The actress shared a funny instance of a young fan on a Lime bike stopping dead in his tracks on South Bank, exclaiming, “Ronnie! You’re my favourite character ever.” Samantha couldn’t help but wonder when he started watching since he seemed so young!
With so much buzz and fans’ hearts still attached to Ronnie, we’re all left wondering—could the storyline genie work its magic once more? Let us know, would you love to see Ronnie back in Albert Square? 💭✨
