Samantha Womack interview (All About Soap)
What's Ronnie's state of mind when she comes back?
She's more damaged than I've ever seen her. She thinks that she's coping well, and she's put on this mask of someone who's in charge and on to a new chapter. However, fundamentally she's just murdered someone, so she's in a weird place: very dark and dysfunctional. I don't think she knows who she is at the moment. So you'd say she isn't really coping with what she did to Carl? Well, the thing is, she's got a dark side and a light side. That's why the audience love her so much, and they forgive her a lot more than they would other characters. Because let's be honest, with child abduction and murder, she should really be public enemy number one. People have seen her trauma with Danielle, and the baby, and Archie, and everyone's kind of rooting for her in a strange way. They always see her as a victim. Would she preferred to stay away in Ibiza, though? She's safest when she's with her sister, so wants to be wherever Roxy is. Above all things, Roxy and Amy are really Ronnie's priority because she's screwed up with everyone else. Anyone who comes near Roxy who isn't good enough, Ronnie will get rid of. And how is her relationship with Roxy on their return from Spain? Roxy sees a difference in Ronnie, who's behaving irrationally. After what Ronnie's been through with Carl, and with the whole Archie business still in her mind, she's decided she's never going to let another man touch her ever again. Roxy sees that and recognises a change, which frightens her... Ronnie's bought the gym - could this be a fresh new start for her? Her way of staying close to her sister is to buy whatever business is in Walford at that time. She has some money she needs to put into something, but she also needs to be in the Square. The gym's the only concern that's up for grabs at the moment, but she knows nothing at all about it! She'll take it on and make some money from it, though - she's a very astute businesswoman. But she isn't counting on Sharon knowing her secret, is she? Ronnie's extremely shocked that Sharon knows what happened with Carl, and clearly very nervous about it. But then again, she's got that devil-may-care attitude at the moment - so as much as she reacts badly to it one minute, she thinks she can handle it the next. Does she see Sharon as a serious threat - or is Ronnie confident that she can take her on? In her mind, Ronnie feels she is superior. She sees Sharon as someone who's playing a game because she wants Phil, and that's not really important to Ronnie. But Ronnie also knows that Phil's got strong family connections and he believes in the Mitchells - Phil's also quite scared of her now! But she must be frightened when Sharon threatened to call the police and tell them everything... She fronts it out, although I think she is terrified. But she's done time in jail already and she's not scared of going back. She almost wants to confess to the murder, because then she can cleanse her soul and get it out in the open. She feels like she did no wrong - Carl was vile, an extension of her dad, and she doesn't have any remorse for that. The most frightening thing to her is losing her sister's affection: that's the only thing she really cares about. So what makes her confess to Roxy that she killed Carl? Ronnie admits it to her because she knows that if she lies to Roxy again, she'll lose her. Ronnie tells the truth about why she did what she did, about how threatening Carl was. She's actually being as honest as she can possibly be. End of the Road? Samantha's not sure whether Ronnie's finally flipped this time... "I don't think she can maintain this mask once she's gone that far with murder and abduction," muses the star. "It's only a matter of waiting before some time bomb goes off because in my mind, she really has gone past the point of no return". SOURCE: All About Soap |

Oooooo. Great thread, thanks.
Love Ronnie, I like that they're not trying to revert her to Jack's Ronnie and they're taking her to a realistic place |

God I love her.
I have a feeling that with the huge story about Lucy going on for a year, Ronnie will be sticking around for a long while yet. But I'm hoping she isn't going anywhere for a long while! Phil killed that man in the car lo 20+ years ago with that fire, and he's still around. Hope Ronald doesn't go anywhere! |

Phil never murdered anyone. He left a man to die 20 years ago but it wasn't entirely his fault.

She has a high opinion of her character. "That's why the audience love her so much..." indeed.

My point is, look at that example, and now Stacey. She isn't going anywhere by the looks of it. I'm just hoping Ronnie doesn't go anywhere for a long while. If they're making her a villain, I want to see what she can do first!

"Phil's also quite scared of her now!"
I love it, she's become the scariest Mitchell. |

The only good thing Ronnie has done is kill Carl, other than that she is a depressing character.

When Ronnie and Roxy first arrived they were upbeat, happy and full of life. Let's face it they're not the only characters to be cursed by the perpetual misery of Walford. Kat has had a similar life and an unrelenting cycle of misery.

Yet Kat can still have a laugh, makes her seem less depressing. Ronnie makes you want to cut yourself/stick your head in the oven.

That said, I do think that Ronnie is generally a popular character but i'm not sure about most people forgiving her child abduction and murder and still seeing her as a victim. Many do but many don't - for some Ronnie's actions go too far no matter what trauma she has suffered in her life. |

I still think that when she agreed to return it was to be for a storyline that leads to her exit from the show.

Of course Sam might stay long term yet. There is no indiction she is leaving. The soap rule that all killers have to be punished doesn't have a time limit attached to it. Steve Owen killed Saskia and got away with it. The only reason his character got killed off was because the BBC were furious he quit EE for a golden handcuffs ITV deal. They would have left the door open for him otherwise and that was Mal Youngs own words. I like Ronnie when she is in EE. She makes it more exciting and the New Years day episode was one of the best EE episodes in years mainly because of her. I'd rather have Ronnies in the show than Fatboys. |

Where did Ronnie get the money from? She asked Phil for money and he turned her down? Murder for hire while she was abroad?
I recall someone else picking up on the odd vibe between Ronnie and Roxy. And her last response is telling. "The most frightening thing to her is losing her sister's affection: that's the only thing she really cares about." I can believe that. Like Den with Sharon, she controls Roxy. But there is also some creepy psycho sexual element just like we had with Den. It makes her more interesting than Jack's love interest. |

Dear me, she's slightly overestimating her character's importance isn't she?
