13 times soap weddings ended in total disaster
EASTENDERS sisters Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell are set to bow out in dramatic style with a wedding day bloodbath.
It will be the latest entry in soap’s grisly wedding album of horrors, as Til Death Do Us Part is a line that has inspired some of the nation’s favourite characters to cause mayhem.
Ronnie, who is played by Samantha Womack (43), is set to be killed off in a dramatic episode that will see her die trying to save her sister Roxy, played by Rita Simons.
The explosive BBC episode, which will air in the New Year, will see Ronnie saying ‘I do’ to Jack, played by Scott Maslen, for the second time. But it will all go horribly wrong.
But where does it compare in the long list of soap wedding disasters?
