Lord Sugar’s Bold Plan to Bring Rita Simons Back to EastEnders
EastEnders fans still can’t get over the tragic death of Rita Simons’ character Roxy Mitchell. But now, Lord Alan Sugar has thrown his hat in the ring with a cheeky idea to resurrect Rita on the BBC soap. Yes, that Lord Sugar.
Rita, 48, famously played Roxy, who drowned alongside sister Ronnie in a heartbreaking New Year’s Day 2017 episode. Despite the emotional farewells, fans have never stopped dreaming of a comeback for the Mitchell sisters – iconic figures in Albert Square.
Lord Sugar’s TikTok Pitch: “Poxy Mitchell” Could Be Next
Rita did appear briefly last year as a ghostly vision in her on-screen daughter Amy’s imagination. But Lord Sugar thinks it’s time for something fresh. In a TikTok chat, he suggested Rita return as a cousin of Roxy.
“There is no way you’re ever going to convince the BBC to bring you back as Roxy… you’re dead! So you’ve got to come back as a cousin.”
When Rita asked about the cousin’s name, Sugar fired back instantly: “Poxy Mitchell.”
“I don’t care what you come back as, but the point is, you’ve got to come back as a relative.”
Could “Poxy Mitchell” Be the Next Big EastEnders Twist?
Rita was left wondering if this wild idea could actually happen. Lord Sugar was confident: “They should do.” His playful pitch has already sparked chatter among fans desperate for fresh Mitchell drama.
Will BBC bosses bite? Could a new Mitchell with a “Poxy” twist soon shake up Albert Square?
