SOAP fans have been eager to know when Sam Mitchell will be coming back to the Square.
The bombshell finally comes back next week in EastEnders after several months of absence – but she's bringing heaps of trouble.
Kim Medcalf reprises her role in the BBC One soap next week after her on-screen alter ego Sam Mitchell left Walford earlier this year for a job opportunity abroad.
During her absence, life in Albert Square took a turn for her son Ricky Branning (portrayed by Frankie Day) as he became a father to a girl named Charli in September, 2023.
Lily Slater gave birth to the tot in her lounge with the help of her grandmother Jean and mother Stacey.
But there is more to Sam's return as she crashes back into Walford next week with a request for her brother Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
