Rita Simons’ EastEnders Exit Still Haunts Fans
Lord Alan Sugar, yes, that Lord Sugar, has weighed in on EastEnders — and he’s got a wild idea for Rita Simons’ return to the BBC soap.
Rita, 48, famously played Roxy Mitchell, who tragically drowned alongside sister Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) in the New Year’s Day 2017 episode. The heartbreaking scene saw Ronnie try to save a drunken Roxy in a hotel pool, only for both sisters to perish under the water.
“I don’t care what you come back as,” he added. “But the point is, you’ve got to come back as a relative.”
Will BBC Bite on Lord Sugar’s “Poxy” Pitch?
Rita was left wondering if the idea could actually fly, to which Lord Sugar confidently replied: “They should do.”
Her uncle’s playful suggestion has already sparked buzz among fans craving the return of the Mitchell magic.
So, EastEnders bosses, what do you say? Could we really get a new Mitchell on the Square with a “Poxy” twist?
Fans Still Hopeful for Ronnie and Roxy
- Fans have persistently called for the Mitchell sisters’ return despite their tragic exit.
- Rita’s recent cameo as a figment kept the hope alive.
- Lord Sugar’s cousin pitch adds fresh fuel to renewal rumours.
Watch this space — Albert Square magic might be about to strike again!
