Amy Mitchell's photos spark Ronnie and Roxy return pleas
6 Jul
Summary
- Amy Mitchell viewed family photos of late mother Roxy and sister Ronnie.
- Fans urged for the return of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell after recent scenes.
- Ronnie drowned in 2017 trying to save Roxy, who died from cardiac arrest.
Viewers of the BBC drama EastEnders were left emotional as Amy Mitchell looked at old family photos of her late mum Roxy and her sister Ronnie Mitchell. This moment occurred while Denise Fox is undergoing intensive care for acute myeloid leukaemia. Amy confided in Denzel Danes about her fear of losing Denise, which led to the appearance of images of the Mitchell sisters.
The on-screen tribute immediately triggered demands from fans for Ronnie and Roxy's return, nearly a decade after their tragic deaths. Viewers expressed their wishes on social media, with some suggesting Amy might reconnect with her family roots or embark on a mental health storyline. Others lamented that the show showed their bodies, preventing a faked death scenario like Cindy Williams.
The Mitchell sisters, who joined the show in 2007, were cousins to Phil Mitchell. Roxy was Amy's mother, and Ronnie's partner Jack Branning is Amy's father. In January 2017, Roxy tragically drowned in a swimming pool following cardiac arrest, believed to be drug-related. Ronnie died attempting to rescue Roxy, being pulled under by her wedding gown. Roxy briefly reappeared in 2023 as a figment of Amy's imagination during a mental health struggle.
