yh she does know she is her mum, which is why she is so upset about the way that ronnie is treating her
and about the picture being an older ronnie, which it is, as it certainly isnt a pic of sam when she was 14, its more recent than that, its on the net somewhere aswell, i dont think that means that someone has been in touch with her, i think its just they didnt put a younger pic of her, maybe so that viewers would recognise that it was ronnie, and so that it is more obvious why danielle would recognise her, as if they actually had one of ronnie at 14, she probably wouldnt be recogniseable (not that sams changed much lol) so people would wonder how can danielle tell from the pic
also danielles adopted mother died, which is why danielle then started looking for ronnie, though the adoption agency and had found out that ronnie had been looking for her, which im guessing they then told her where ronnie is
i also dont think joel knows anything to do with ronnie, as when lee was talking to them he still thought that ronnie had the kid with her
and i dont think ronnie knows anything, as if she did, would she still think the same of archie
this is answers to joannes post by the way, but i forgot to quote lol
