I've always thought Whitney looked like a prozzy

EastEnders star Samantha Womack is reportedly planning to return to the soap.

The actress, who plays Ronnie Mitchell, announced that she would be leaving after the controversial baby swap storyline concludes, but the News of the World claims that her character will only be written out of the show for 12 months.

A source said: "Sam went through a very difficult few weeks during the filming and airing of the baby swap plot. Everything got a bit too much for her and she said things that, on reflection, she now doesn't agree with.

"Sam stood up to speak at a meeting of the cast and producers to make it clear she is committed to the soap in the long-term and doesn't harbour any grudges. She has a lot going on in her life and wants to focus on other priorities for a year, then she'll return."

A BBC spokesperson today told DS that it was too early to discuss any rumoured 'plans' for 2012. However, they added: "As we've always said, the door is being left open for the character of Ronnie Branning to return at a later date."

Scott Maslen, who plays Jack Branning, is said to have encouraged her to return.

Alfie! No, don't go! Don't leave her!

the_monkey

continuing this baby farcical story as long as possible i see, probably be 2 or 3 years old by the time it comes out

maybe that's the whole point of Alfie leaving Kat now, so when they find out their son is alive they will get back together

Bless her - I think she's brilliant. She depends on nothing only her excellent acting ability and natural warmth to be successful and it works:) She's someone I'd love to know personally.

Such unrealistic SHHHITE!!!!!

why do i watch this cr*p, this Afia / Tam story is so shoddy, as if she'd look at that ugly dork twice.

I remember the 'outcry' at the babyswap storyline and the way people were appalled that it could possibly go on until March. And then the producers came out with a statement or something, that led us (well, me anyway) to believe that it would end, much, much sooner.

And here we are the 12th of february and it's till going on....:rolleyes:

Anyone any idea when it's going to end, and how does Kat finally realise etc?

Its complete shiite anyway, with the postmortem they would always do blood tests to be sure anyway, so they would have known within 2/3 days of this farce.

No doubt the kid will get sick or something in 3 years time and will need
a blood transplant - Jack will volunteer cos he's the father like, so he has to be a match ..... you know the rest..

Wasn't there a clubbed foot mentioned at some stage? Don't know why that would have been included if they weren't going to put it in the story somewhere?

Sounded to me as though they knew each other as teenagers. They slipped that line in to explain this weird twist I suppose. It's obviously a forerunner to whatever way they plan to handle the big revelation about the baby swap. God only knows how they'll do that:rolleyes:

Yes they went to school together

littlefriend

Am I imagining things or does Jack have a baby with Sam Mitchell? Where are they?

Shazanne

Probably stashed away somewhere for another storyline in the future!
Isn't it amazing how EastEnders can be so very good at times and so terribly bad at others?

Club foot was mentioned I'm sure this will come up in the inquest. Story is getting a bit boring. Bring back Stacey.

Sam and her baby (yes by Jack) left - Ronnie helped her to leave

The show is very boring at the moment

So Billie not Billy then

I wonder is poor Hev dead? I assumed with all her coughing and sickness for so long lately that she'd kick the bucket at some stage soon. It looked like carbon monoxide poisoning the way they kept showing the gas lit though. Poor Heather!

No she survives - Heather is like Billy Mitchell always only bad things happen to them they should get together and win the lotto

I hope Roxy isnt preggers again by Christian or Michael she hasnt much time for the baby she has Amy where the hell does she be

JonathanAnon

Could I hazard a guess that Roxy finds out that she is pregnant after all?

Fittle

Well, she didn't as we saw.

I was wondering why they bothered to put her through the carbon monoxide poisoning story, when she survived. Now I see it's a fathers rights issue.

Should be interesting.

And might open a few of the fathers rights debates that are often quite prevalent on boards...and that I often try to (unsuccessfully) steer clear of!!!

But as we all know...fathers rights aren't the same in Ireland as they are in the UK.

My thoughts exactly! Would be interesting to run a gay couple having a baby alongside a fathers' rights storyline - alot of scope for the script writers there!!
