EastEnders fans 'work out' Roxy Mitchell return twist as Rita Simons shares announcement


BBC EastEnders icon Rita Simons has confirmed she has quit Hollyoaks after just one year as Marie Fielding but fans are convinced she is returning to Walford as Roxy Mitchell

The 48-year-old star took to social media to announce her departure from the Channel 4 drama this Autumn, sharing with fans: "Since Marie Fielding stepped into Hollyoaks village, she's sufficiently messed up all her boys lives, Caused ALL the carnage and fallen off the wagon a few times...so her job here is done! Reports suggest that the door has been left ajar for Marie to make a comeback to the village, but fans are speculating that Rita might instead return to Albert Square as Roxy Mitchell. Fans have been clamouring for the Mitchell sisters to "return from the dead" for years and following the news that new executive producer Ben Wadey is bringing back Zoe Slater and Oscar Branning, some viewers are hoping for a Roxy and Ronnie comeback.
