'EastEnders' actress 'leaves over baby-swap plot'

'EastEnders' actress Samantha Womack, whose character has been involved in the soap’s controversial baby swap plot, is to leave the show, the BBC said today.

Womack plays Ronnie Branning, who lost baby son James to cot death on New Year’s Eve then swapped him for Kat Moon’s (Jessie Wallace) live newborn, Tommy - generating thousands of viewer complaints in the process.
