`Ronnie is a lot of things, but she`s never given me the - if I`m going down you`re coming with me`- vibe.
I'm not saying Ronnie hasn't behaved in a disturbed fashion when it comes to Roxy - mostly after becoming "Dark Ronnie", prior to that her actions with Roxy were more understandable within her characterisation/backstory, even if unhealthy/wrong. I still don't think she would try and kill her sister just because she thought she was going to die herself.
The alleged spoiler - I can see why it sounds dull, but actually it sounds disturbing to me. Characters who die tend to go out in ways that aren't that relatable - explosions, murders. or things we are a bit desenstized to seeing in film(car accidents).
Explosions do happen, but in soap they feel sensational, The drowning spoiler actually sounds eerie and dreadful - as in so real that just imaging finding a friend or family member face down in a pool due to alcohol intoxication sends a feeling of dread and panic through me. I'm not usually too worried about loved ones turning into psycho doctors who commit arson and accidentally getting themselves blown up in a B&B.
As for gruesome - well, envisioning the scenario - Jack and other guests would walk in to find the bride and her sister drowned in a pool. It's not gruesome in the physical sense, but emotional - I would say so. It sounds god - awful compared to most soap deaths.
Now, I don't know the accuracy of any of this - I don't know if a wedding dress would weigh you down so much you'd drown. I wouldn't describe the possible spoiler as dull though, other than that I have no real opinion on it yet(because how can I?). All I do know, is that it sounds bloody awful, and it wouldn't be what I was expecting.
