It's all a bit too distressing for me, Ronnie has lost three baby's now. It wouldn't surprise me if in a few months time Sam Womack leaves. I can't see Ronnie coming back from this.
More misery for Ronnie. It's getting beyond a joke now.
The actual storyline does have the potential to be a fantastic one, but what irritates me is the fact that it has to involve Ronnie; i'm not just saying this because i'm a massive Ronnie/'Rack' fan, but I just feel as though it was so predictable that something like this would happen to her.. just when it appears that she's got her life back on track and everything is going well (finally married to Jack, and FINALLY having his baby), something like this has to happen. I just don't see how Ronnie and Jack as a couple, and Ronnie on her own can recover from this, she just can't. So it is inevitable, like many of you are saying, that this storyline will lead to her exit which is why, as a massive Ronnie fan, this upsets me.
I know they do insist on Ronnie being the tortured heroine or whatever they call it but this is just going to absolute extremes.. I remember when rumours of this babyswap storyline first surfaced, people IMMEDIATELY associated Ronnie with it and knew it would be her baby that died.. just goes to show how stupidly predictable the storylines are when it comes to Ronnie. Would be nice if they could just leave her character alone for a bit. :rolleyes:
The idea that Sam W would quit over this is preposterous. Why would she care? She's getting paid to do her job and it's not like she's a background character who's doing nothing. As an actor you don't want to sit on the fence, and the direction they've taken Ronnie in would be a lot more interesting for her to play than just a happy go lucky person in the background. By constantly replaying tragedy she'll get to show off her acting skills and ultimately gain more respect as an actress, even if EE loses respect for the story itself.
I think if it was the other way round Kats baby died and she swapped the babies that would unbelievable and out of character for her, whereas, I do believe Ronnie would do something like that, and I think the viewers in some way will understand why she did it, even if it is very wrong.
No, i'm not saying that Ronnie has to be happy and be happy and STAY happy all the time. I'm just saying that it would be nice just to leave her alone and move on from all the baby drama.. imo it's getting tiresome and repetitive.
ETA: There are SO many other storylines that could be done.. perhaps her finding it hard to bond with her baby, post natal depression, finding it hard to cope as she has FINALLY got the baby she wants.. i just personally don't like the idea of this storyline. Don't get me wrong, Sam and Jessie and all involved will be FANTASTIC and from a neutral perspective, it will provide some seriously incredible emotional acting from them, but as a person who is heavily invested in Ronnie it just upsets me. But that's just me.
I think if it was another character it would be a better storyline but Eastenders have made Ronnie to be an almost cartoon like character with the amount of bad things that have happened to her. It defies logic. Nobody could be as unlucky as her and I think that fact is going to harm the storyline.
Yes that is very true, but I didn't mean it like I wished that Kat's baby would die instead, no way. I just don't want this storyline at all
Pretty much this.
Yeah, it's a joke, she's surpassed Sharon's tragedy tally and Sharon was in the show for 20 years. :rolleyes:
For the following reasons -
Cot death/ SIDS usally happens after four weeks old and is more or less unheard of before this time. EE are going to have this take place only a few days after birth.
The dead baby swap is just unrealistic that Kat would not know that it was not her baby.
I think xmas time is a hard enough time for people who have lost children to SIDS so I personally feel there has been little thought for our feelings at this time of year.
I've known someone who lost the baby when he was only 2 days old.
