A MITCHELL family favourite is set to return to EastEnders this week, the BBC has revealed.
Sam Mitchell will make a surprise return to the square, with Kim Medcalf starring as Grant and Phil’s sister.
It was confirmed earlier this year that Kim was re-joining the show as the character, who has also been played by Danniella Westbrook.
BBC Head of Continuing Drama Kate Oates reacted to the Sam Mitchell news: ‘I have long wanted to bring Sam back into the family fold. Her return is guaranteed to be explosive.’
Kim herself stated: ‘When the BBC approached me last year to reprise the role of Sam I was thrilled,’ said the star when news of her return broke.
‘She’s a brilliant character and I can’t wait to get back in the Square and work with the amazing cast.”
