EastEnders' Sam Mitchell makes a sensational return to Walford this December, and she's soon up to her old tricks when she rummages around her brother Phil?s house for some cash! But when she reveals her worrying secret, will Sam?s family be willing to put the past behind them and be there in her time of need?

It has been announced that Sam's short stint back in Albert Square will see her diagnosed with breast cancer, but she is initially reluctant to tell her family about her health concerns.

When she arrives back home, she heads straight to Phil?s looking for money and gets Nigel Bates embroiled in her scheme. After mistaking Sam for his daughter Clare, Nigel allows her to make off with Phil?s cash.

Once Phil realises that the money is gone, he uses Nigel?s description of the thief to incorrectly identify Nicola as the culprit, so he goes to confront her.

Meanwhile, Sam comes face-to-face with her old rival Zoe Slater, who accuses her of being her stalker! Despite Sam?s denial, she soon ends up in a tense stand-off with Kat ? and as Phil spots them from across the Square, it quickly dawns on him who really stole his cash.

Slipping away, Sam covertly meets up with her son Ricky at McKlunky?s. However, when the pair are busted by Jack Branning, she threatens to leave Walford again.

Jack intervenes before she can go, which is when Sam floors him by revealing that she?s found a lump in her breast which she believes to be cancerous.

As Jack starts to question Sam on why she hasn?t gone to the doctors, a furious Phil arrives to reclaim his stolen money. Elsewhere, Denise learns about Sam?s health fears from Jack, so heads over to speak to her and strike a deal.

Later, Sam attends a family dinner hosted by Ricky Jnr and Lily at No.31, but it doesn?t take long for her to realise that Denise and Jack were bluffing about their mysterious offer.

Sam heads back to Phil?s, looking for a place to stay ? but an alternative scheme soon arises and she changes tact.

Soon, she has a new plan in place to get what she wants. However, when Sam fails to attend a doctor?s appointment about the lump, her concerned family confronts her?

As her loved ones stage an intervention, will Sam get checked out so she can face her cancer fears head-on?

These scenes will air from Monday 8 December to Thursday 11
