Ronnie Mitchell

EastEnders' Ronnie Mitchell is set to reunite with Jack Branning.

The feisty blonde - played by Samantha Womack - is to cause a stir after she's released from prison and makes a return to Walford, but despite the initial cold shoulder from other residents, the stunner looks set to lock lips with former lover Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).

Samantha hinted at the reunion saying she'll be filming kissing scenes with Scott, she told Soaplife magazine: "It'll be awkward the first one, then when we get it over and done with - when we get back to it - it'll be fine."

Ronnie may be lucky in love, but little does she know she's about to destroy her sister Roxy's relationship with pub owner Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) after he dumps the blonde barmaid (Rita Simons) following Ronnie's release.

Alfie finds himself confiding in his ex-wife Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) after he grows uncomfortable with Ronnie - who snatched their baby Tommy two years ago - being on Albert Square.

Speaking previously, Shane said: "We're going to start creating the Kat and Alfie phenomenon again, but there's a threesome now as opposed to just Kat and Alfie, you've now got Roxy.

"All of a sudden, Alfie's with her sister, and Ronnie is responsible for the whole baby swap thing - there's going to be a whole new dynamic."
