The pain still lingers years later — and now EastEnders icon Samantha Womack is finally opening up about the heartbreak, the confusion, and the deep sense of loss she felt after being unexpectedly axed from the show alongside co-star Rita Simons. Could a fan-demanded RONNIE AND ROXY comeback be in the cards after all these years?

💔 “IT FELT LIKE BEREAVEMENT”: Samantha Breaks Her Silence on the Mitchell Sisters’ Exit

Samantha Womack, who played the fiery and beloved Ronnie Mitchell, didn’t hold back in her emotional interview with Mail Online, where she revealed just how devastating it was to learn of her character’s shock death.

💬 “It felt like losing a family member. We didn’t choose to go. It wasn’t in our hands.”

The 2017 New Year’s Day double-death — where Roxy suffered a cocaine-related heart attack in a pool and Ronnie drowned trying to save her on her wedding day — left viewers gutted, and clearly, the pain hit just as hard behind the scenes.

📺 A CONTROVERSIAL SEND-OFF THAT STILL STINGS

Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell weren’t just sisters — they were fan favorites, Albert Square legends with a blend of chaos, charm, and controversy. So when their storyline ended so abruptly, fans cried foul — and now Samantha confirms it felt like a rejection.

💬 “It was painful… me and Rita loved feeling like we belonged there. Then to be rejected — it hit us both so hard.”

🌴 From Albert Square to Valencia — Finding Peace, But Not Closure

Since leaving the show, Samantha has made a new life for herself in Valencia, finding perspective and calm. But the sting of Ronnie’s end hasn’t fully faded — especially as fans STILL rally behind the Mitchell sisters.

💬 “The fan base for Ronnie and Roxy is extraordinary. They still go loopy when they hear there’s any chance we could come back.”

Could a return ever happen?

👀 “NEVER SAY NEVER”: Womack Teases a Potential COMEBACK

Womack isn’t ruling anything out. In fact, with Rita Simons (Roxy) wrapping up her Hollyoaks role later this year, fans are once again hoping the sisters could rise from the dead — or maybe… never actually died?

💬 “The only way is if they say we didn’t actually die… It’s a big commitment, but I have a strong affection for the show.”

The door isn’t closed. And in soapland, death is always negotiable.

🥂 Ronnie & Roxy: Too Naughty to Stay Gone Forever?

The sisters were wild. Unpredictable. Unapologetically messy. And that’s exactly why fans adored them. Womack remembers it all with fondness:

💬 “It felt silly. It felt fun. We were controversial. We were naughty.”

So — with the EastEnders universe forever shifting, could Ronnie and Roxy be poised for a shocking resurrection?
