Samantha Womack has addressed a return for her character Ronnie Mitchell on EastEnders – almost six years since she drowned trying to save her sister, Roxy, who also perished. The 50 year old actress, who recently got the all-clear from breast cancer, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Wednesday where she discussed her former co-star Rita Simons' recent return to the soap as Roxy – albeit in her daughter Amy's imagination.
Rita recently appeared on GMB, where she said: "All I can say is I've left it so the fans finally understand Roxy may not be dead so in the future who knows, but right now, I'm really having a lovely time, not there, and potentially going somewhere else." When asked about Rita's comments that there could possibly be a comeback on the square, Samantha didn't rule out a return to the show. Speaking to Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, Samantha said: "I love her [Rita's] positivity.
"We were seen at the end of the episode floating quite lifelessly in the pool. "But I like her positivity." Showing her support for her on-screen sister, Samantha said she was "definitely going to watch" Rita's EastEnders comeback.
She explained: "I'm in Spain at the moment and my VPN wasn't working, but I definitely want to watch it and catch up on it as I'm sure it was amazing." Samantha and Rita share a close bond, which comes as no surprise as they starred alongside each other as the Mitchell sisters for a decade, after first arriving onto Albert Square in 2007. They died together in shocking and heartbreaking scenes for New Year's Day in 2017, after Roxy jumped into the pool whilst drunk, the night before Ronnie's wedding to Jack.
