Currently, no official plans exist for the sisters to rejoin the soap. Keep scrolling to learn more.
EastEnders Fans Still Ask For Roxy & Ronnie’s Return
Rita Simons admits that she is asked almost every single day for Roxy and Ronnie’s return. The actor explained that she and Samantha still receive scripts from fans who aren’t ready to accept the sister’s tragic ending. Also, some of these fan-made ideas are so plausible that the actors actually save them. And are ready if the BBC ever comes calling.
Although fans are very excited, there is nothing in the works to get the Mitchell sisters back at this time. Rita also revealed that she and Samantha are content with the work they are doing individually at the moment. However, fans are still hopeful. It’s because death doesnt always mean the end in soaps.
Both the characters had drowned together on Ronnie’s wedding day to Jack Branning. To save her sister, Ronnie jumped into the pool. However, neither of them survived. Speaking about their exit, Rita said it was a “massive blow” when they were written out. One of the reasons behind this is that the two were legacy characters. And we haven’t seen legacy characters being killed so suddenly. After it happened, Rita and Samantha were blindsided.
Rita And Samantha Reflect On Their Shock Exit
It has been nine years since their chapter ended. However, fans still ask about their comeback. This reflects that the Mitchell sisters had a great impact on the show. Rita also spoke about how the show handles legacy characters differently today. Writers are more cautious before they make final decisions.
Rita, on the other hand, did come back only briefly. She appeared as a hallucination during Amy’s counselling session. And Samantha revealed that she is willing to come back if given an opportunity. But they also haven’t shut the door. Do you miss Ronnie and Roxy as much as we do? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
