Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Janus Womack)

hope not and with Jack going, really no point in rehashing old relationships with her now

[LostVoodoo]

If Jack was leaving then maybe they could do one scene with him visiting her in prison? Think that would be nice closure actually.

Samantha Womack has claimed that her EastEnders character Ronnie Mitchell could still return to the soap after her ex-husband Jack Branning has left Albert Square.

One of Ronnie's main links to Walford will be removed later this year as Scott Maslen has decided to leave the role of Jack.

However, speaking to Metro, Womack suggested that Ronnie will still have reasons to return even without Jack around.

She explained: "I think she could go back if Jack wasn't there, because it was always the Mitchell sisters. I know Ronnie had a love affair and she got married, but what I loved about the character was her relationship with her sibling.

"It was nice being with another woman and doing most of our scenes together. That was a relationship on the show I really enjoyed.

"There are no plans [for Ronnie to return] at the moment but I definitely wouldn't rule it out. I love the show and I love the character. I miss the character enormously."

Womack left EastEnders in 2011 as Ronnie's controversial baby swap storyline reached a conclusion.

She added: "I think it was definitely the right time to give the character a break. The danger is that if you get one character who is subject to so much trauma, angst and depression, it becomes difficult to play it realistically."

Womack has recently joined the cast of Sky Living's Mount Pleasant.

EastEnders bosses have announced that Samantha Womack is reprising her role as Ronnie Mitchell.

The actress has agreed to return to the BBC soap for a six-month stint, which will see Ronnie head back to Albert Square ready to put the past behind her.


After spending two years in prison for abducting Kat Moon's baby son Tommy, Ronnie won't have an easy ride in Walford as she has to face those she has previously wronged - including her ex-husband Jack (Scott Maslen).

On a happier note, Ronnie does have the support of her family and as she is reunited with Roxy (Rita Simons), the Mitchell sisters will once again become a force to be reckoned with on the Square.

Speaking of her shock comeback, Womack commented: "I am thrilled to be returning to the role of Ronnie for the next six months. Ronnie is coming out of prison and her reappearance in the Square is going to create havoc. I can't wait to be a Mitchell once again!"

EastEnders' executive producer Lorraine Newman added: "We're delighted to announce Samantha Womack's return to Albert Square. The Mitchell sisters are a fabulous pairing and it will be an absolute delight to have Ronnie and Roxy back together on screen.

"However, Ronnie's departure wasn't without controversy for many residents in Walford, and her return will be sure to ruffle quite a few feathers."


Ronnie's return will rock Albert Square.


Show chiefs have promised that Ronnie's return will be part of a huge summer and autumn for EastEnders, which will also see a number of new faces arriving to shake up the Square.

Womack will begin filming at EastEnders again this summer
