Rita Simons and Samantha Womack have had "a lot" of discussions about reuniting on screen.
The former ‘EastEnders’ co-stars – who played on-screen sisters Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell on the BBC soap – had a surprise reunion on ‘Loose Women’ this week and they revealed they have had talks about possible future projects.
Rita – who surprised Sam on the ITV panel show on Friday (15.02.19) – said: "It’s been two and a half years, and people still to this day as fresh as the day we died… it’s like we’ve just been killed. People never forget.
"So there’s been quite a lot of talk for stuff for us to do together, an we just wanna make sure that it’s the right thing. It’s so special, the chemistry we have."
Her former cast mate added that while they have had "a few" ideas, nothing has leaped out at them yet as the right project.
She said: "We have talked about a few things, a couple of things have been offered but they’re a bit obvious."
The 46-year-old actress admitted it might be difficult to make any kind of return after the siblings were killed off on New Year’s Day 2017 when they drowned in a pool.
Sam quipped: "You saw the body, so I think that makes it slightly harder. And it was so tough killing that character."
She still reflects fondly on her time in Albert Square, and had high praise for Steve McFadden – who played on-screen cousin Phil Mitchell – and his skills at acting drunk on camera.
She said: "Actually, one of the best drunk actor’s I’ve ever seen [is Steve McFadden]. And not just because he does it so well but he does it in an environment when he’s got two seconds to prepare.
"He’s literally thrown from one set, on a golf buggy, you get driven round from another scene, and then you get literally spat out on the floor. ‘Right, now cry’ – and he does it.
"He looks unpredictable, and he looks broken when he’s drunk – and that’s a very cool thing."
