Danielle/Ronnie was contrived. I know Danielle came to Walford to track Ronnie down but the timing of it happening a few months after we first learnt the Ronnie/Archie/baby backstory was contrived.
Sean bumping into Stacey in the Vic was also a massive contrivance.
It's lazy writing to have these sort of contrivances but sometimes you have to roll with it. I doubt EE are going to stop having them now.
Very true:)
Hit the nail on the head.
Interestingly Linda Henry (Shirley) played her mother when she first arrived.
I'm not sure whether she's back on the Square for a reason - if so you'd think she'd go there on her own accord as opposed to being rescued by Ian.
The exception to this rule is Rose Cotton and Cora Cross
The Jackson family first appeared in December 1993 but were introduced gradually over a period of months (similar to the Masood's) so they didnt move onto the square and become regulars until 1994 by which point Mandy had left (she left in the January). So Mandy wont know Carol or Bianca etc.
Also Dot left in the summer of 1993 and didnt return until 1997 so although yes she was on-screen the same time as Mandy it wasnt for long and i dont recall their paths ever crossing so its possible that she wont know Dot either.
Which leaves, out of the current cast, just Ian, Pat and Phil that she will know. Janine as well but she was only a child at the time and played by a different actress.
Are you kidding? This is Dot of the early 90s we're talking about. She knew everyone, especially the down and outs like Mandy. They had scenes. People forget how small the cast was back then. They all had scenes with each other.
She may well have known of Carol, who was supposedly working in the launderette for some time before she actually appeared, and she may know Bianca, who would swan around the market quite regulalry at the end of 1993. Knowing of eachother will be all it is in Bianca and Carol's cases, they certainly wont have been friends.
Plus let's not forget that the Brannings were meant to be Walford bred. Carol and David Wicks etc.
The Danielle thing wasn't contrived, I thought she came to Walford to track her down because Ronnie made a call to the place where she gave Danielle up for adoption and they called Danielle to tell her that her real mother was looking for her... I think that's what happened anyway
She also once slept with Ricky back in the day.
Yep, just before she left.
She also lived with Janine at one point. Not Charlie Brooks though

Who know's maybe they'll bring sam back so a love triangle can start with Ricky including Bianca... lol
The reason Danielle came looking for Ronnie so long afterwards was because Ronnie made the first steps in trying to chase Danielle. When Ronnie did this the adoption agency/social services would have contacted Danielle and advised her that her mother had tried to get in touch.
It was more believable than Michael and Jack being school friends.
Not really. Ann Mitchell is a great actress and I've yet to form an opinion on Polly Perkins as she arrived only last week but the characters they are playing are hardly original. For instance Cora reminds me so much of an older Shirley. Both new characters like to drink, have fun and chase after men. Like every other female character in the soap with the exception of dot.
And could have had his child.....
She slept with Ricky before she left didn't she?
Are we going to say that she pretended the baby was Billy Mitchell's sons, when really it was Ricky's?
Edit - The more I think about it, yeah. She isn't a Mitchell at all, she's a Butcher. She's a modern day teenage Janine.
The fact she was paid loads or not obviously has nothing to do with the reason for her return other than they were desperate for her to do so. She simply has to be Lola's mum, maybe Ricky is Lola's rel dad :eek:
