EastEnders legend Sam Womack lands new role worlds away from Ronnie Mitchell
EastEnders legend Samantha Womack is taking on a new role, and it is worlds away from Ronnie Mitchell. Ronnie was a staple on our screens for almost ten years and was part of some major storylines, including the Who Killed Archie Mitchell? whodunnit. There was outrage from fans in 2017 when Ronnie was killed off alongside sister Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) on her wedding day, with both women tragically drowning in a swimming pool. Since leaving the show, Sam has appeared on TV series like Silent Witness and Buffering. She has also taken to the stage in the UK tour of The Girl on the Train, where she met partner Oliver Farnworth, before starring in 42nd Street the Musical. Now, the actress is taking on a new venture, in stage play Dear England, which is set to tour the UK later this year. The play is a fictional take on Gareth Southgate's time as manager of the England men's football team. Sam will take on the role of psychologist Pippa Grange, while Doctors star David Sturzaker will play Gareth Southgate. 'I am so excited to be returning to the stage to perform in Dear England,' Sam said in a video posted to Instagram. More Trending 'It's a wonderful piece of theatre – entertaining and thought-provoking as well as incredibly staged. I am also fascinated by Pippa Grange and her impact on [the] England men's team.' She continued: 'She fundamentally changed the culture and, in turn, the course of sporting history by teaching the squad to embrace their fears and she's an extremely inspiring role to take on.

Plymouth Argyle struggle against Championship quality of Bristol City
Plymouth Argyle found the Championship quality of Bristol City too much for them as they were beaten 2-0 in their final pre-season fixture ahead of their 2025/26 League One campaign. Both of City's goals came in the first half at Home Park and were very well taken by Danish striker Emil Riis, and they had a number of other good opportunities during the game, with Luca Ashby-Hammond making a couple of excellent saves for Argyle. At the other end of the pitch the Pilgrims lacked attacking punch and came up with only one goal attempt all match, which was when 18-year-old substitute Joe Hatch had a close range header superbly saved by Lewis Thomas. READ MORE: New striker signing a Plymouth Argyle priority declares Tom Cleverley READ MORE: Plymouth Argyle summer signing Jack MacKenzie to miss start of season Tom Cleverley will have learned a lot about his new-look Argyle squad from this defeat and while there were not many positives for him to take it was still a useful exercise to highlight the main areas, particularly defensively, that he and the players need to work and improve on. After starting pre-season on June 20, the serious business of league football is now almost upon the Pilgrims, beginning against Barnsley at the Theatre of Greens next Saturday. Iceland international defender Victor Palsson was Argyle's captain against City because Joe Edwards, who began his career with City, was named among 10 substitutes. Palsson and Kornel Szucs were the central defensive duo with Matty Sorinola and Brendan Galloway the two full-backs. There was a midfield quartet of Xavier Amaechi, Bradley Ibrahim, Brendan Wiredu and Bali Mumba, while Owen Oseni led the attack for Argyle with support from Caleb Watts. It was announced before the game that Mumba has changed his squad number from 2 to 11, which was previously worn by Callum Wright before he recently completed a season-long loan to Wigan Athletic. Also among Argyle's other substitutes was defender Julio Pleguezuelo, who had missed the pre-season games against Eintracht Braunschweig, Truro City and Torquay United due to a knee injury, and midfielder Ayman Benarous, who joined the Pilgrims earlier this month after being released by City at the end of last season. Not included in the matchday squad of 21 were goalkeeper Conor Hazard, left-back Jack MacKenzie and striker Bim Pepple. Zak Baker was the back-up shot-stopper to Luca Ashby-Hammond. City's strong starting line-up included Adam Randell, who joined them from Argyle on a four-year contract earlier this summer. He lined up in central midfield on his return to Home Park. It was the Robins who had the first scoring chance when the ball was played into Riis, a summer signing from Preston North End, and his powerful strike was beaten away by Ashby-Hammond. Argyle threatened for the first time when Szucs got on the end of a deep cross from the left into the City penalty area but his header was diverted behind for a corner off defender George Tanner. Tempers then flared when there was some pushing and shoving involving players from both sides after the ball went out of play for an Argyle throw-in. When calm was restored referee Lee Swabey issued a few of those involved a lecture but took no further action than that. Oseni had the next scoring opportunity when he won the ball high up the pitch and showed good skill to truck his way past a City opponent but could not hit the target from a very narrow angle. The Robins then opened the scoring in the 25th minute with a fierce angled drive from Riis which flew past Ashby-Hammond after the striker was picked out by a pass from Anis Mehmeti. Argyle struggled to put together many attacks of their own after conceding that goal and Riis doubled City's advantage in the 38th minute when he was again allowed too much space inside the Pilgrims' after the ball was played across to him by Mehmeti and easily slotted into the net. Two clinical pieces of finishing from Riis had the Robins in control after they exploited defensive vulnerability from the home side, with Galloway finding it hard going playing at left-back. Both sides were unchanged at the start of the second period and it was a similar story to that of the latter part of the first half with Argyle struggling to put any attacking pressure on City. Cleverley made five substitutions just short of the hour mark, with three former City players among them in Jamie Paterson, Edwards and Benarous, while Malachi Boateng and Freddie Issaka also came off the bench. Making way for that quintet were Wiredu, Amaechi, Watts, Galloway and Sorinola. City also took off two-goal Riis at the same time and replaced him with Sinclair Armstrong, whose pace and power caused Argyle immediate problems. There were a further two Argyle changes in the 67th minute when Pleguezuelo and 18-year-old Hatch were sent on for Szucs and Mumba. It was a good opportunity for Pleguezuelo to get some game time, and against strong opposition, after missing much of the pre-season action and ahead of the start of the League One campaign. Randell fired narrowly wide from 20 yards as City continued to dominate the game without creating too many scoring chances. It was not until the 75th minute that Thomas made his first save of the match for the Robins. It was a very good one too from a diving, close range header from Hatch after a deep Issaka cross. It would have been quite a moment for the academy graduate now first-year professional had he scored in front of the Devonport End. Ashby-Hammond then made a smart low stop from Mehmeti after he cut onto his right foot around the edge of the penalty area. The same City player fired over the bar after a free-kick was played across to him while Robins' substitute Rae Nelson also blasted over only moments later. City had another chance to make it 3-0 from a free-kick 25 yards out and Scott Twine's shot clipped off the top of the crossbar before Ashby-Hammond made a fine close range save from the very lively Armstrong.

Plymouth Argyle summer signing Jack MacKenzie to miss start of season
Plymouth Argyle will be without left-back Jack MacKenzie for their League One season-opener against Barnsley at Home Park next Saturday due to a knee injury. The summer signing from 2024/25 Scottish FA Cup winners Aberdeen missed the final two warm-up matches, the 6-0 win away to Torquay United last Wednesday and the 2-0 defeat by Bristol City at Home Park today, after suffering from tendinitis. Brendan Galloway played at left-back for Argyle against Bristol City but he is a more recognised central defender, while Ayman Benarous took over that position as a substitute in the second half. READ MORE: New striker signing a Plymouth Argyle priority declares Tom Cleverley READ MORE: Plymouth Argyle struggle against Championship quality of Bristol City Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley said: "Not good news with Jack, unfortunately. He has got a tendinopathy that is sore, that will need a bit of time to settle down. "Not ideal with Jack coming to the club, he wants to show everyone what he can do. I can't put a specific timescale on that but it will be certainly weeks until that settles down. "It's a very common footballer injury and most of the time you can keep a lid on it, sometimes it just gets too aggressive and that's where it has got to for him and he just needs a period of time to settle that down." Cleverley continued: "He's a great lad and you know he will play through the pain barrier for you so it must be a little bit sore for him to flag it up. The tests have proved that and we need to be careful with him to make sure you are not in that vicious cycle of 'It feels a bit better this week, let's push' and then you are back to square one. "We will be careful with that one. He's a player we think a lot of and we look forward to having him back, but it certainly won't be for next week." One positive piece of news for Argyle was the return from a knee injury of defender Julio Pleguezuelo as a substitute against Bristol City after he was ruled out of the pre-season matches against Eintracht Braunschweig, Truro City and Torquay, as well as a full-scale inter-squad match at Home Park. Pleguezuelo replaced Kornel Szucs in the 67th minute against the Robins and Cleverley said: "That was always the plan, if we could get Pleggy to the last (pre-season) game and get some minutes into him. "Matty (Sorinola) came back from missing Wednesday (the win at Torquay), as did Caleb Watts, and those guys looked sharp and completed an hour, and will be available for selection for next week."
