Weymouth episode

[Perdita]

RONNIE is gunning for her dad on a tense trip to the coast.

A bitter feud erupts when a Mitchell family reunion in Weymouth goes disastrously wrong! In a week of shocks by the seaside, Ronnie is heartbroken by some devastating news, and stunned as her dreaded dad, Archie, woos Peggy.

But it's not all bad news, as Roxy gets back together with Sean!

"Sean has real feelings for Roxy," says Rob Kazinsky, who plays him. "He wants to be a good father to their baby."

At the start of the week, Peggy gets a letter from Archie and plots a way to heal the rift between her brother-in-law and his daughters.

Peggy and Ronnie set off to see Roxy in Dorset, leaving Billy in charge of The Vic. Sean forces him to reveal where Roxy is by threatening to harm baby William, and drives off in pursuit.

Ronnie and Peggy arrive at a mansion in the countryside. Ronnie is astonished when her father opens the door and wishes her a happy birthday!

Appalled Ronnie realises she has been set up.

Next day, at a funfair, Ronnie asks Roxy to come back to Walford but she refuses * she is sick of being bossed around by her older sister * and Ronnie stalks off.

Suddenly, Sean appears and confronts a shocked Roxy. They row, but Sean stops her in her tracks when he says he loves her * and they share a tender kiss!

Back at her dad's country pile, Ronnie accuses Archie (Gavin And Stacey actor Larry Lamb) of ruining her life by forcing her to give up Amy, the daughter she had when she was just 14.

The argument turns nasty and Archie reveals a dark secret that leaves Ronnie crushed.

"Ronnie brings out the worst in Archie and he gets vicious," says Larry, father of Big Brother's Little Brother host George Lamb.

"Archie wants to put right these long-standing problems he has with Ronnie. But things just get worse."

Ronnie's misery is compounded when she learns Roxy is back with Sean.

And when charmer Archie asks Peggy to stay with him in Dorset, it looks like poor Ronnie will be left all alone in the world.

I can't remember where I read it but apparently the dark secret is that Ronnie's baby died soon after it was adopted :(

[Perdita]

That is so sad :( Does Ronnie know or will she find out as part of the storyline?

i think it said on here somewhere

no ronnie doesnt know yet, archie tells her sometime next week while they are arguing i think

[Perdita]

Poor Ronnie, she must be devastated when she finds out.

when i first read it i thought maybe archie only said it cos he knew it would upset ronnie and maybe the baby isnt really dead? probably not though

[Perdita]

Actually, you might have a point there. Knowing soapland the way we do, the baby is bound to be alive and will turn up on AS, looking for its mum. :lol:

[di marco]

i dunno why i thought it, but cos archie is meant to be quite a nasty character, well ronnie hates him, i thought it just might be something hed say if they were having an argument knowing that it would upset ronnie and he knows that the baby is alive or doesnt know whether the baby is or not. on the other hand, i could be wrong and the baby did die lol!

[Perdita]

I think it was on here, now that I have had time to think about it, that her daughter is rumoured to turn up, she should be in her late teens by now.

yeh i think she would be about 19, maybe almost 20 i think. i think either she is actually dead, or she will turn up one day which will be a huge shock to ronnie seeing as she will think shes dead!

I assume that if the baby is dead, she finds out as part of the storyline, as she was trying to trace her a few weeks ago - like Pat was with her sister and then found out she'd died.
