Eastenders maneater Ronnie Mitchell is set to fall into bed with her most unsuitable lover yet – psychopathic ex-con Owen Turner.

Evil Owen (Lee Ross), who was jailed for trying to murder his daughter Libby, makes an explosive Walford return this autumn after three years in the clink.

Horrified by the twisted villain’s comeback, most of Albert Square’s residents give him the cold shoulder.

However, Ronnie (Samantha Womack), who is fast becoming the Queen Vic’s most unhinged Mitchell, offers him a job – leaving her family terrified for her safety. Since long-lost daughter Danielle died, Ronnie has become so desperate to conceive she’ll even consider a man who tried to kill his daughter as the daddy.

Our spy at the soap’s Elstree studios said of the couple: “This isn’t a relationship that will end happily, two obsessives together is a recipe for disaster.”
