Fans Spot A Familiar Face On Set
A drone footage was taken over the Elstree set. And it was showing a brief snippet of filming on Albert Square. A blonde woman in a cream coat drew attention. Fans are guessing if it’s Kim Medcalf, Michelle Collins, or Gillian Taylforth. But fans are convinced that they can tell the difference. They are completely sure that it is Kim returning to Walford.
Fans think Sam’s coming back will cause more Mitchell drama. She’s never been calm, and her return could spark old fights right before Christmas. People are already wondering who she’ll argue with first. Some think it’ll be Phil, others say Kat. Whatever happens, Walford’s heading for more chaos. A source said getting Kim back as Sam after Zoe would be brilliant. The pair have a lot of history, and the show has missed some female Mitchell energy.
Christmas Chaos Looms In EastEnders
Kim Medcalf last appeared on the soap in January 2024. Her character had to leave Walford to pursue a life abroad. She had a rift with her brother Phil Mitchell. And since then, fans wanted her back. Elsewhere, Christmas is also nearing. So her comeback during this festive time has fans buzzing.
Fans show their excitement on social media. One fan wrote, “This is amazing if it’s true. I want her to stay for the long term. The Mitchells need that strong female energy that’s been lacking.” Another said,” I’m almost certain that’s Sam, and I’ve had a feeling she’s gonna return. The cafe scene totally gives it away.”
EastEnders lost out on Best Soap at this year’s Inside Soap Awards. It could be the right moment to bring Sam back. Coronation Street won Best Soap, but the BBC soap opera had won the National Television Awards. A spokesperson for EastEnders remained silent. Fans are guessing what’s next. Christmas is near, and Walford could get chaotic. Fans hope Sam Mitchell’s return stirs things up. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
