Rita Simons, famous for playing Roxy Mitchell on EastEnders, is making a splash on rival soap Hollyoaks. The actress has reportedly signed up for a secretive new role and will hit Channel 4 screens later this year.
From Albert Square to Hollyoaks: The Big Soap Switch
Simons left EastEnders in 2017 but popped back briefly earlier this year. Now, she’s ready for a fresh start in Hollyoaks after a short break from soap acting. No word yet on who she’ll play, but insiders promise her character will stir plenty of drama and shake things up.
Could Roxy Return to EastEnders?
In her recent comeback, Rita’s character appeared as a figment of her daughter’s imagination after Roxy’s character died. “I wouldn’t have returned just to play a ghost,” Rita said. The storyline tackled mental health, a cause close to her heart.
Interestingly, Rita hinted a full Roxy return might still happen. Since fans never saw Roxy’s body after she and her sister drowned, “the door is open” for a potential comeback “for the fans.”
Soap Fans Gear Up for Rita’s Hollyoaks Debut
Whether it’s a dramatic exit from EastEnders or a fiery new start in Hollyoaks, Rita Simons is set to bring major energy to the soap scene. Viewers of both shows are buzzing to see what’s next for this standout star.
