I wonder if Ronnie & Roxy were axed to make way for Michelle's return?

What?

Aside from Michelle coming back just before they died, I don't follow your logic.

^ this.

This is more silly than that time the gossip magazines said "Kat axed for Sharon"

How did you come to this conclusion,,? People come people go that's life ,new blood will join eastenders to help keep it going strong

I think the OP has just been sitting around trying to think up a thread title that seems shocking as to lure in posters but one that has no basis in reality.

I think the script writers had just run out of ideas for Ronnie and Roxy.

They've obviously cooked up some story for Michelle to return but it will probably turn out to be a damp squib. Her marriage has broken up, Mark has gone missing? To be honest I'm really not that interested in her at the moment.

Sharon & Kathy took time to settle back in but Jenna Russell is a much better Actress than Letitia Dean & Gillian Taylforth so i think her Acting will shine through as Michelle.

Sounds familiar.
