i feel sorry for ronnie but jacks right and i think hes actually being quite nice about it

i heard ages ago that ronnie was gonna kidnap amy, does anyone know if this is true or not?

[lizann]

On some soap mag it says she kidnaps her niece baby Amy

[Perdita]

Yeah, I have read that too *yawn*.

[moonstorm]

Any one else think it's a bit predictable, Ronnie/Roxy/Amy triangle. I prefer Chloe's suggestion re Heather's baby. By the way where is Heather, have I missed something?

[Perdita]

Totally agree with the predictability of this storyline. Heather will be seen today as she is in the cafe when Nick is going beserk. Can't wait to see tonights epi

EastEnders star Rita Simons has revealed that forthcoming episodes of the soap will revisit the relationship between her screen sister Ronnie Mitchell and their late father Archie.

In the BBC soap's live instalment earlier this year, viewers learned that Ronnie (Samantha Womack) had been raped by Archie (Larry Lamb) when she was a teenager. The dark secret emerged as Ronnie had a heated argument with Simons's character Roxy.

Although the storyline has been put on the backburner since the revelation, viewers can expect it to be brought back to the forefront in the weeks to come.

Speaking on This Morning today, Simons confirmed: "It is being revisited and I'm very glad. We've actually filmed it already. Sam Womack was phenomenal. I think she's had to keep replaying - I don't think she gets enough credit for it - this tragic heroine over and over. Just when we think it's over, she's got another revelation, so she was just incredible."

She continued: "It was so important to me that when we shot it - and I'm not a diva and I never do this - I asked the director, 'Please can we do it again?' because I wasn't happy. It was just that important to Sam and I, and I hope we've nailed it."

Archie was written out of EastEnders last Christmas when he was murdered in the Queen Vic, sparking a 'whodunit' storyline.

i was wondering where this storyline had gone, was starting to wonder if Ronnie had made it up!

[lizann]

I am glad its being revisited I keep thinking he was Danielle's real daddy

I am glad its being revisited I keep thinking he was Danielle's real daddy

I was thinking the same too.. might explain why he was so hard on her to give Danielle up for adoption and then telling her that she was dead...
