EastEnders fans beg soap to bring Roxy Mitchell back from the dead after Rita Simons Hollyoaks exit news: ‘Just make it happen’

Since then, fans have been begging the soap to rewrite history and bring the sisters ‘back to life’ despite their on-screen deaths.
And now, fans are calling for Roxy to make a comeback once more as new producer Ben Wadey takes over from Chris Clenshaw.
As well as this, actress Rita Simons is reportedly leaving rival soap Hollyoaks as Marie Fielding, The Sun has shared.
Her final scenes are set to air this autumn, with Rita finishing up filming this summer.
A source said: “London has been calling her and it’s proved difficult to balance a job she loves and her life in London.
But, what exactly in London has been calling her? EastEnders?

Another noted: “RITA SIMONS QUITTING HOLLYOAKS? THE POSSIBILITY IS THERE…”
A third EastEnders viewer added: “Just heard that Rita Simons has quit Hollyoaks.
“Mr Ben Wadey. MAKE THE MITCHELL SISTERS RETURN HAPPEN. I don’t care if you act like that whole death stuff never happened and was just a dream and they instead went away, make it POSSIBLE.”
Another agreed: “I would not care at all how ridiculous the story would be, just make it happen!”
