A BBC spokesperson confirmed the news to The Sun, stating: “Samantha has created an iconic character in Ronnie Mitchell.”

During her time on the soap, Samantha has been involved in a number of huge storylines, including the controversial cot death plot, which saw her baby son James die.

Ronnie then swapped her baby with Kat and Alfie’s son, and the actress later spoke out about how difficult it was to film.

She then left the soap after reportedly telling a friend that the storyline had given her “four weeks of living hell”, and later returned in 2013.

While Samantha is now departing, there have been a number of new arrivals in recent weeks, including that of Grant Mitchell’s secret son, Mark Fowler Jr.
