The residents of Walford could be forgiven for getting a little confused when it comes to Sam Mitchell. The original Mitchell sister first appeared on our screens in 1990, played by Danniella Westbrook. The fun loving and mischievous teen caused havoc on the square, including marrying childhood sweetheart Ricky Butcher (played by Sid Owen). Danniella and Sam departed in 1993 but the Actress made many short lived reappearances up til 2000.On a visit to Spain in 2002 Peggy Mitchell (played by Babara Windsor) bumped into Sam at nightclub and even more odd was the fact she had a new head. Now played by Kim Medcalf, Sam returned to Walford with her mum Peggy. A new actress may have taken up the role but Sam was soon up to her old tricks as she bedded a number of local men, including Steve Owen (Martin Kemp) and Andy Hunter (Michael Higgs). Now more business woman than hormonal teen Sam once again departed Walford after being involved in the death of Dirty Den in 2005.
It was announced back in April that the original Sam Mitchell, Danniella Westbrook would be returning to the role of the on the run criminal Sam. Adding another fiery Mitchell to the mix will certainly add drama and explosive story lines for both the Mitchells and her former flame Ricky, who is now happily living with Bianca. But EastEnders will need to explain how Sam, who was last mentioned as hiding out in Brazil after going on the run for Dirty Den's murder, will mysteriously waltz back to Walford. If the the loose plot lines can be tied up then Danniella will be a fiery and exciting re-addition to the EastEnders cast.
