Ronnie and Danielle: The Reveal

Over the past few weeks, I've had hoards of e-mails all asking the same question: when will Danielle tell Ronnie she's her daughter?

The forums have also been a hive of activity surrounding the reveal, with rumours galore as to when and how Danielle (Lauren Crace) will come clean with Ronnie (Samantha Janus) and what the repercussions of the revelation will be on all those concerned.

Discussions have included how Danielle should tell Ronnie; how Ronnie could react; plenty of rumours that Glenda (Ronnie and Roxy's mum and Archie's ex-wife) may have been Danielle's foster mother; speculation that mother and daughter will live happily ever after, rumours that someone might kick the bucket; and suggestions as to what music the producers will settle on for the episode in question.

The storyline has been running for quite some time now and a fair few viewers are becoming a little frustrated by the lack of a resolve. I'm sure plenty of fans have been shouting expletives at the TV to the tune of 'why the hell don't you just tell her?!' I, on occasion, have been one said Walfordite.

Well, to answer the most common question of them all, I can confirm that Danielle will finally reveal her secret to Ronnie within the next few months. Vague, I know, but they really are keeping this one quiet!

Details as to the makeup of the episode, though, are being kept a closely guarded secret, which producers are understandably hoping will remain under wraps until the episode transmits. All I can say for now is that, in my opinion, it will have been worth the wait.

An Elstree source this afternoon told me: "Everyone's thrilled that the storyline's creating such a buzz. We're loving the speculation as to what might happen when Ronnie finds out that she's been living on the same Square as her daughter for the last six months."

They added: "We can't wait to see it on screen. Everyone's hoping that viewers will be as shocked as we were when we heard how the story unfolds."
