EastEnders Ronnie and Roxy heading for a ‘gruesome’ end in watery death
Soap sisters, played by Rita Simons and Samantha Womack, have been cast members since 2007 as the cousins of Phil and Grant Mitchell
ROXIE and Ronnie have spent most of their EastEnders years pulling pints in the Queen Vic to Walford punters.
That makes it somewhat fitting then that they're in for a watery death when they're written out of the soap in an upcoming storyline.
The pair, played by RITA SIMONS and SAMANTHA WOMACK, have been members of the cast since 2007 when they were introduced as the cousins of Phil and Grant Mitchell.
Enders bosses have been trying to keep the way they leave a complete secret, even telling people that they are filming several endings to try and confuse whispers.
But I'm told their end is going to be "gruesome" and involve a swimming pool.
A source said: "Their exit is one of the big dates in the soap calendar.
"From the minute it was revealed they were leaving, and even before, the writers have been trying to think of a brilliant way to kill them off.
"They've been trying to keep it a huge secret.
"The swimming pool scene they're working on will be huge and a real talking point for EastEnders fans. It's going to be a grizzly, gruesome end for them both."
