Womack: 'Ronnie couldn't go further'

Samantha Womack talks to The Observer about leaving the role of Ronnie behind.

Former EastEnders star Samantha Womack has said that her character Ronnie Branning left the show at the right time.

Womack announced her decision to leave the soap earlier this year amid the controversial baby swap plot involving her character. Her final scenes saw Ronnie imprisoned for her drastic actions which took place over New Year.

Other hard-hitting storylines featuring Ronnie included the death of daughter Danielle and revealing that she had been abused by her father Archie.
