A post shared by Walford East on Twitter, a site that regularly updates fans on EastEnders, showed an old photo of Samantha Womack, who played the role of Ronnie Mitchell on the show.
In the photo taken in 1990, Samantha was only 17 years old and seen posing in uniform for Spatz, a comedy series she was a part of before her EastEnders role, 17 years later.
In the photo, she looked unrecognizable, very young, and different from how fans know her.
Samantha played the role of Ronnie Mitchell for many years before being killed off in 2017 on her wedding day, in true EastEnders fashion.
Despite her character’s death, fans are still hopeful that she will return in one way or another.
Many fans have taken to Twitter, suggesting various ways the show’s writers could bring her character back, including a special episode around her daughter Amy’s day where she is the only one who can see and hear Ronnie and Roxy.
EastEnders has had numerous back-from-the-dead storylines in the past, with characters like Pat Butcher and Peggy Mitchell coming back as ghosts, while others like Dirty Den and Kathy Beale quite literally came back from the dead after being killed off.
While fans have seen Ronnie and Roxy’s bodies floating in the water, they remain hopeful that they could make a comeback in some way.

This shows how much fans are invested in the show and its characters.
While it may seem far-fetched to bring a character back from the dead, it is not uncommon in soap operas.
It is fascinating to see how actors’ appearances change over time, and the old photo of Samantha Womack highlights this.
The photo shows a young and unrecognizable Samantha Womack, and it is impressive to see how far she has come since then.
