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."

That means utterly ridiculous storylines to come then

EastEnders star Samantha Womack has admitted that her character Ronnie Mitchell needs to face the consequences of killing Carl White.

Ronnie came out on top in a deadly showdown with Carl on New Year's Day, before disposing of his body by hiding it in a car that she had crushed at the scrap yard.

Show bosses are planning to further explore Ronnie's dark side, but Womack told Inside Soap that she will need a comeuppance eventually.

She explained: "I always think people are going to hate Ronnie, but she has a loyal following. It's a weird thing - people forgive Ronnie for a lot more than they would other characters. With child abduction and murder on her record, she should be public enemy number one!

"But everyone has seen her trauma - with her daughter Danielle and baby James, and her dad Archie - so they're all kind of rooting for her in a way. The audience tries to understand why she does what she does, and they're with her every step of the way. They always see her as a victim."

However, the actress added: "Ronnie has passed the point of no return. She's taken another human life and I would hate to think that it could just be brushed under the carpet.

"I'm not sure I'd be able to play a normal person after that - it wouldn't be right. So it's only a matter of time before that ticking time-bomb will go off."

Viewers saw Ronnie return to Walford last night (March 3) following an extended holiday in Ibiza, where she caused more trouble by attacking an undercover policeman.

Ronnie is also now facing problems with Sharon Rickman, who isn't happy over her reappearance and has threatened to tell the police the truth about Carl.

Ronnie Mitchell left Albert Square in dramatic fashion during tonight's double episode (June 23), after revealing a surprising secret.

Viewers saw Ronnie (Samantha Womack) confide in her cousin Phil (Steve McFadden) that she was expecting a baby, before making the big decision to leave Walford.

Phil is the only one that knows the truth about Ronnie's pregnancy, and has agreed to keep the news to himself, in exchange for her silence over Sharon's attack.

Ronnie's decision to leave came following a difficult day in which she found herself embroiled in Phil and Shirley's troubles, revealed to Phil that she kept a gun and ended her relationship with Charlie Cotton.

Ronnie's exit paves the way for Womack to film the fourth series of Mount Pleasant.

However, viewers won't have to wait too long before they see Ronnie again as an EastEnders spokesman has confirmed to Digital Spy that she will be back on screen at the end of the summer.
