EastEnders' Ronnie Mitchell's sense of unease continues when Kat Moon offers to let her stay on her sofa.

Ronnie has just served a two-year sentence for stealing Kat's baby, Tommy, swapping him with the body of her own son who she had lost to cot death and letting the couple believe their child had died.

Ronnie (Samantha Womack) is shocked when Kat turns up to collect her from prison instead of her sister Roxy. But keen to get back to Albert Square, she is forced to accept Kat's offer to stay with her.

And Ronnie is even more uncomfortable when she wakes up to find Michael Moon now lives with Kat.

Ronnie took a disliking to Michael (Steve John Shepherd) as soon as he arrived in EastEnders three years ago, and tried to make his life difficult. When he dated Roxy, Ronnie even lied that he had made a move on her to try and split them up.

Now he has the upper hand, will Michael make life even more difficult for Ronnie?

These scenes are due to screen on EastEnders on September 10 and 11.
