I never use to like the Mitchell sisters but over the past few months I have started to adore Ronnie but my hatred for Roxy has just intensified. She is utterly pointless and is only be kept in the show because she is a Mitchell. The writers never know what to do with her so they just lump her onto Ronnie storylines and she ends up ruining them. I hope that if Ronnie is to get some comeuppance for her misdoings, that it will be Roxy's death by one of the people Ronnie has done wrong by. IMO the writes should ditch Roxy and bring back either Sam or Glenda. Anyone else agree.

It's weird. I loved Ronnie but disliked roxy. But in recent years, it's been a total turn around. Problem with Roxy is she doesn't seem to develop, as much as Ronnie has. Her fling with Charlie didn't help at all. She really seemed settled with Aleks, but they backtracked her.

The fact that she's never evolved has made her so terrible. Roxy is no better than Kat or Bianca, the only difference is that she's from a rich family. Even Bianca managed to settle down in a stable relationship and left Walford for better pastures.

Roxy's string of failed relationships are just tedious. Sean and Aleks were the good 'uns and she threw those away by having affairs. I liked her and Alfie together, but it was obvious she was only his rebound before getting back with Kat. Getting with Dean shows extremely bad judgment.

I feel that the Ronnie and Roxy sister act has run its course and they need to keep away from each other. The writers are ruining Ronnie bit by bit. With Roxy, she's like the female Max Branning. There is potential for something different, but they choose to keep her in the same rut.

As much as Aleks entertained me, he was also still sleeping with his ex wife behind Roxy's back.

Roxy's best realtionship was with Alek, these two worked really well together. Alek was a good character who I liked in the market and very underused, I loved the episode when his daughter was being bullied and Roxy headbutted the bully's mum. These two should have stayed together and developed further in my opinion.

She's a daft bugger but no, I wouldn't say I hate her.

She's made a very dubious choice in getting with Dean, it's like she can't be without a man for more than five minutes so it was a case of "he'll do!" I thought she was actually standing up to him last night after he's been domineering her but he talked her back round (it didn't take much effort) so she might end up regretting that.

What I DO hate is the way she goes with her sister's fella's, that's completely out of order.

I agree with others that there's never been any real development in her character, she's pretty much the same woman who turned up even though she's become a mother since then and has gone through some traumas! I'm not sure if that's supposed to show her resilience or if it's just bad characterisation?

I don't mind Roxanne but she's thick as mince and rather blase about rapists.

Roxy has always been my favourite of the two sisters, but I found her to be at her best when Ronnie isn't around.

She just seems to jump from wrong guy to wrong guy, cheating on them/being with them while they cheat and arguing with Ronnie. She doesn't seem to evolve at all.
Hopefully we will see a change in her after the Dean story

Prefer her to Ronnie but is in desperate need of a decent s/l not involving sex.

Is there any other facet to this character? If I were Rita I would be begging the team to give me a decent story minus Ronnie

I do feel that she's borderline between regressing as a character or staying stuck in a loop.

Was Alek axed or did the actor quit do we know?

I don't loathe Roxy but she is a terrible character and only seems to be around to be Robin to Ronnies batman.

Roxy had 2 years without Ronnie and still did nothing. She more Billy then Phil.

She needs a really dark storyline (other than the rape) either a drug addiction or something , I think Rita would do well with some dark stuff

Yet all she gets is losing one of her false nails in the gravy
