EastEnders legend Rita Simons has teased a return for Roxy Mitchell.
The actress played hellraiser Roxy until 2017 when she was brutally killed off alongside her sister Ronnie in the New Year’s Day episode.
Viewers have never got over the deaths that saw the sisters drown together in a hotel swimming pool.
Ever since they have been desperate to bring the sisters back.
And now Rita has added fuel to the fire about a potential return.
The actress sparked the rumours herself when she responded to a fan sharing a side by side picture of Roxy and the new actress playing her daughter Amy (Ellie Dadd).
Rita replied asking: “Is this my offspring?”
One fan responded: “Hopefully you get to share the screen with her one day,” with a praying-hands emoji.
EastEnders comeback for Roxy Mitchell?
However, another buzz kill replied: “Roxy died.”
That saw Rita step in and tease Roxy’s potential return.
She wrote: “So did Cathy. And Den. And Bobby Ewing.”
Fans immediately seized on the chance to have their favourite characters back.
One said: “I bet everybody wished the last few years of EastEnders didn’t happen, so they could just pretend it was all a dream, Dallas style, with Ronnie and Roxy coming out of the shower.”
A second said: “RIGHT!!!! It could be done. Billy was working at the funeral home at the time, could have helped faked both deaths.
Are the Mitchell sisters returning?
Another fan added: “Yes it’s unrealistic but that is also what’s great about soap. It’s not completely based in reality, and because it was a big mistake the fans would accept it.”
