Veronica Elizabeth "Ronnie" Mitchell - Soaps

chancer127 · 10-11-2009, 08:42

Ronnie Mitchell.

Having unprotected sex with a known alcoholic and maybe drug user is she completely mad!

All the nasty risks that can go with unprotected sex, Ronnie mitchell on a plate......I just ain't that hungry.

Murray Mint · 10-11-2009, 08:58

Ronnie has completely lost the plot.

samj_namesake · 10-11-2009, 09:04

Owen never took drugs.

He was an alcoholic, now recovered, but he wasn't a drug addict.

The_abbott · 10-11-2009, 09:25

maybe she will contract HIV. I mean they like depressing stories for her right.

ILoveMaxwell · 10-11-2009, 09:57

Owen was an alcoholic and is now recovered, that doesnt mean he is any more likely to have any diseases than the next bloke (which will probably be next week lol) and I think Owen is rather gorgeous, I certainly wouldnt say no

Keeki · 10-11-2009, 11:29

He is good lookin'. I don't think Ronnie cares who she's with. It looks to me like she's just so desperate for a child to replace Danielle and with who she can redeem herself as a mother. If Ronnie becomes pregnant to Owen that will be a real shocker for Denise and her family in the coming months, especially for Libby.

Obviously she is having A big breakdown. I've said it before. Watch it be revealed she has PTS disorder.

The signs are all there in the same way Stacey's bi polar was before they revealed she had it.

I think people are beyond caring now though with regards to ronnie and if she may be ill or not - with stacey we knew what was coming because it had been announced before the storyline took place - this ronnie story is dragging and they are making her completly unbelievable and very unlikeable, i don't even pay much attention to her scenes anymore because it will depress and annoy me - it's about time ronnie took a long long break off our screens the way stacey is atm cos it is getting ridiculous the amount of episodes she features in!!

Completely disagree. They didn't announce Stacey would have bi polar until the week the actual (30 minutes in Stacey's life) episode aired...

But like you admit. You aren't paying attention so are missing important little plainted scenes. So don't blame anyone else for you missing stuff.

Their were rumours going around about stacey and people had guessed what was going to happen and then it was announced, so we all kind of knew what was happening beforehand. And please tell me where i blamed people for me missing things - i don't pay attention to ronnie's scenes because she is imo boring and predictable atm, i loved her when she first arrived, loved her during the danielle stuff but ee have ruined her character atm, she is in near enough every ep so now i know that she is going to throw herself at a man or cry that she wants a baby so i don't pay as much attention to her as i do the other characters in the eps, this PTS is dragging now, someone would have seen she needs help not just laving her to it.

don't know what show you are watching but there are loads of signs ronnie is ill. you must be blind to completely miss them

last night they even spelt it out to people when owen said to her replacing what you have lost doesn't work.

Stupid_Head · 10-11-2009, 12:27

If Owen sorted out his teeth, I'd have sex with him too. Not unprotected mind, or with one of Ronnie's special condoms.

If you check both my posts i have not said ronnie isn't ill, infact i have said you can see she is ill, but it has been what 7/8 months since danielle has died and not once has anyone told her she should see someone or talk to someone about how she is feeling, they have just left her to get on with it by herself which in reality wouldn't happen, that's why i said this storyline is dragging, it may not be if ronnie wasn't in near enough every ep every week but she is so it feels like this PTS storyline has been going on for over a year now, stacey's Bi-polar was done with more sensitivity and i think was a lot more better handled than Ronnie's PTS storyline.

Yeah he doesn't have great teeth but everything else looks good

Madman01 · 10-11-2009, 14:27

Homeless/street Alcoholics are very promiscuous when they are drunk, they get drunk and have unprotected sex,
and they are not adverse to taking drugs, it's a fact.

Ronnie is probably scatching herself as you read this

Miss_Moo · 10-11-2009, 21:11

Why doesn't she just go to a sperm bank?

that's what i thought, it would save her so much time, it's obvious she just wants the baby not the relationship with the father well this way she doesn't need to have anybody else involved it can just be her and her baby.

therightdeal · 10-11-2009, 21:49

She is a hateful character.

That is too logical.

She is not hateful. She is not well. She is vulnerable and needs help.

These brief flings probably distract her from thinking about the pain of losing Danielle. People grieve in different ways. Some overeat or can't eat, some people drink and Ronnie's turned to men who can also give her a second chance at motherhood. Additionally, Ronnie's a very lonely woman who has been betrayed by Jack, her father and her sister and even Peggy (her rage at Archie after the wedding was more important than helping Ronnie with the loss of her daughter). She would have a hard time trusting anyone after what she has been through so I suspect that that is why Ronnie is having these brief affairs. For a short time she is not alone, she doesn't have to worry about these men betraying her as she has no emotional attachment to them, she gets a brief respite from her pain and she may even get pregnant. Aside from not offering the temporary comfort these men bring her a sperm bank would likely go against Ronnie's sense of pride. She is a very proud woman. That's why she told Jack to shove it when she got back from Manchester and he wanted to reunite with her and start a family.

TheJ693 · 10-11-2009, 22:55

i thought she said she had condoms? maybe ones with holes in them, but still!

gavin shipman · 10-11-2009, 23:14

Ronnie is still a good character. I think it's understandable the way she's feeling after losing her daughter less than 8 months ago.

She felt lonely. Owen was too. They had sex. So what. He could even be the one that will put her life in order. He has changed.

*Elle*90 · 11-11-2009, 06:01

The Ronnie hate train is a little silly. I know there aredifferent opinions and of course Ronnie is a particular character she's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. But to call her hate able or unlikeable I think is - fair enough if you find her storyline uninteresting or dreary but that doesn't mean she as a person/character is awful. I actually think Owen/Ronnie was very well done. It was obvious when Ronnie asked Owen to stay originally it was because she really didn't want to be alone and she felt some sort of emotional connection to him in that moment. It wasn't until after right before Owen was about to go get some condoms it seemed to occur to her that she could get pregnant. Originally it wasn't why she asked him to stay. Remember she turned down Ryan a couple weeks ago. So to say she's always up for some baby making isn't really fair.

Ronnie does not have a mental disorder. Not in the sense that Stacey does. Ronnie is emotionally unstable at the moment, not mentally - though from an outside P.O.V. it's hard to tell the difference. But it is certainly emotional not really mental - of course strong emotions cause an unclear mental state, but it's not the same as being actually mentally ill. Ronnie is still - technically mentally stable, in some ways. She can sit and think clearly and know what is the truth and what is not. She KNOWS. She even said it. She has said herself she feels lost and empty and knows it's going to be a life long battle. If she was mentally unstable she probably wouldn't be able to sit calmly and know exactly what was wrong with her. The thing is Ronnie she is on persuit to find - something. So yeah we do see her acting a bit random or out of character. But that's hardly surprising. I don't really like the storyline in some ways. The Joel stuff, yeah it was all tedious, and the condom stuff was not the most interesting. But in general, I think it is perfectly realistic. Of course she wants a child. It's not like Ronnie raised her daughter all her life and she suddenly died. Ronnie never really had her daughter, so it's not the same as replacing a child you raised for nearly 20 years. Also Ronnie probably thinks getting a man, marriage, all that could take years to find. And she's 35. That's the age women's fertility starts to decrease. I get why she feels so desperate right now.

Also - Ronnie is a proud woman. She refused Jack, out of pride also because she really wasn't ready to deal with what had happened with them a few weeks before. Also, Jack was pointing out to her all that was wrong with her behaviour and how it was unhealthy. Ronnie just was not emotionally ready to get back with Jack in July and basically - deal with everything. I can see why she decided instead to try and just get pregnant. So with Ryan, Owen - pride isn't the issue. Like another person already said, it's temporary distraction/comfort and sperm. I really liked the difference with Ryan and Owen though. With Ryan it was kind of lustful, and then with Owen it came after a heart to heart.

Anyway I predict in a couple months people will start to warm to Ronnie again. Not everyone of course but more people than are now.
