Simone Buchanan has admitted that she would love her Neighbours character Sam Fitzgerald to be Paul Robinson's next love interest.

On British screens, Sam and Paul (Stefan Dennis) are currently working together to make sure that Steph Scully (Carla Bonner) is punished for the road accident which caused Ringo's death.

UK fans saw Sam return to Ramsay Street earlier this month after she landed the role of prosecutor in Steph's culpable driving case.

Speaking to Inside Soap about Sam and Paul's partnership, Buchanan commented: "They both share a desire to bring down Steph. There's no hint of romance, as Paul wants to patch up his marriage to Rebecca - but I think there could be in future."

She added: "I'd love for Sam to come back to the show on Paul's arm!"

Buchanan recently confirmed that she would not rule out future appearances for Sam.
