They are incredibly tedious though. How can anyone enjoy watching them repeat the same rubbish on a loop year in, year out? Maybe Ronnie shouldn't be killed off since she at least has changed over the years but Roxy, with or without Ronnie, is boring as ****. Awful actress and character.

I will be disappointed if they are not killed off. I just don't see where they can go next,

Ronnie has neatly got away with killing two people, has managed to fashion together a family of children only one of which actually belongs to her, is on and off with Jack continuously, where else is there for her to go? another murder? another pretend child? another falling out/wedding to Jack?

Roxy just lurches from one drunken escapade to another which is starting to look a bit silly now she is older, no progress made, no direction, no job even

I think this branch of the Mitchell family has run out of steam, and I want to see how Jack copes as a single parent, he was so keen to keep Amy and Richard, might not be so easy without a convenient female babysitter to hand!

I hope they play "Dirrty" at Roxy's funeral.

THEY ARE NOT BOTH DYING.

I guarantee it.

I agree. They may need a "rest" but if written for correctly, there is STILL mileage in R&R.


I bloody hope you're right....

While Pat Butcher definitely was a big blunder, killing her off wasn't.

B&G - you have saved me having to post - you summed up what I was going to say - I too think it will be one (fingers crossed Ronnie) that dies - The Sock has mad both these characters engaging again - a fairly simple task with Roxy but surprised he was able to do it with Ronnie who's character had been well and truly assassinated - and surprised that Samantha was able (to some extent pull it off considering her 'can not be arsed' style of acting we've had for the past ten years - I too think D&G will have a part to play that we don't see coming - and that The Sock and TPTB have 'run' with The Sun's speculative ending to troll us into thinking that bit will have a very wet death so that we won't see the real ending coming - I (we) may be wrong and it could go down The Sun's 'Dead Pool' route but even if it does I am confident that, considering the improvements The Sock has mad of late, he will pull it off - also I don't see why the killing of major character (I won't use the term 'legacy' as I consider Lucy to be the only 'legacy' caracter to be killed off - being descended from the Beale's) I'd much rather tat than a 'black cab' exit

There's no comparison OP.

Pat was an iconic, timeless character that still had her place on the square. Simply by being there she lighted up a room and improved a storyline. She was the tough old bird everyone relied on. She'd had storyline after storyline, and excelled every time. If any character deserved to go off into the sunset, it was her. 20 years of service to the show - and they killed her for wanting a break.

R&R have had their moments but good god are these characters tired. Look me in the eye and tell me either of them have had any development since 2007. This storyline could be happening then and it wouldn't seem to out of place. Plus, Ronnie was killed as a tragic character in 2011 and Roxy has never been that likeable (apart from, ironically, the Newman years).

I doubt the show is going to really miss them.
