EastEnders star Samantha Womack has said that she doesn't think her character Ronnie Mitchell will have a permanent reconciliation with former husband Jack Branning.
Viewers will know that Ronnie returned to Albert Square last night but received a cold reception from Jack as he slammed the door in her face.
Answering questions in a live chat on EastEnders' official website, Womack said: "They will always be an iconic couple, and the public know them so well now.
"They will always be, in the public's eyes, a couple with history but I think Ronnie is too damaged now to love anyone that way."
Womack also said that Ronnie is strong enough to deal with Michael Moon, despite being unsettled by him at first.
Womack said: "I think Ronnie and Michael are a very good match when it comes to holding their own.
"He's a good sparring partner for her and they have a really good chemistry. I really enjoy doing scenes with Steve as an actor anyway."
EastEnders continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One.

EastEnders star Samantha Womack has decided to stick with the soap beyond her initial contract.
The actress, who plays Ronnie Mitchell, returned to the BBC show earlier this year in a six-month deal.
However, an EastEnders spokesperson confirmed to Digital Spy this morning (October 29) that Womack has signed a new contract which will see Ronnie stay around for longer.
It is believed that Womack's new deal runs for a year as show bosses have big plans for her character.
Womack had always indicated that she would be tempted to stay on EastEnders if she felt that Ronnie's return was a success.
Speaking earlier in the year, she explained: "I didn't want to be flogging a dead horse, so I thought right, I'll go back, see if it works and then regroup in six months and talk about whether she's succeeded or not. The one thing I wouldn't want to do is take away what we achieved, which was this massive character."
Last week, the actress praised the plans that new executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins has for Ronnie, promising that she will soon show a "darker" side.
Treadwell-Collins created the character of Ronnie and her sister Roxy in 2007 while working as EastEnders' story producer.

EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins has spoken about his plans for a number of the show's characters, promising that there are "massive stories" ahead over the next year.
Since taking office at the BBC soap in August, the show's new boss and his team have been busy mapping out storyline plans until February 2015.
"The other thing is Ronnie will have a big story. The question with Ronnie is, 'Is she her father's daughter?' I think we're going to see with Ronnie how someone becomes a villain. I keep talking about Darth Vader - the making of a villain. Not a soap bitch, but a villain."
