EastEnders has revealed a first look at Sam Mitchell?s dramatic return storyline, with a selection of images being released.

Sam, played by Kim Medcalf, left Albert Square back in April to take up a job at a hotel in Spain, but will make a dramatic return later this month (November 21) as she appears in Walford once again.

Ahead of her return, the BBC has released teaser images of the storyline, with the pictures showing Sam being thrown out of a van, with her brother Phil eventually helping her up.

Just what did she get up to in Spain?

Executive producer Chris Clenshaw previously spoke about Sam?s return in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, teasing that she had been up to no good during her time away from the East End.

?In typical Sam Mitchell fashion, she finds herself in a troublesome place and has to ask big brother Phil to help her out of a sticky situation,? he said. ?Lots has happened since she's been away ? obviously she's got a grandchild, Charli.

?But Ricky Jr isn't happy that his mum has been so absent. The great thing about Sam is that she's very much a character that can kind of turn up at the Mitchells at any time, cause mayhem and leave them to sort out her mess every time. There's a lot of fun with Sam.?

Elsewhere on the BBC soap, the tension between Eve Unwin and Suki Panesar will soon escalate, with the former lovers set to cross paths once more as the former begins to date again.

Though they seek to move past their affair, things will soon get heated as Suki?s husband, Nish, will discover the truth about their relationship. Just how will he react?

EastEnders has confirmed that Kim Medcalf will be reprising her role of Sam Mitchell for a short stint this Christmas.

Sam has been away from Walford for almost two years, but in that time, her nemesis Zoe Slater has returned to the Square. The pair haven't seen each other for 20 years, after Sam took responsibility for Den Watts' murder, despite Zoe also being involved.

Will Sam's return see the character pursue revenge on Zoe, or will the pair be able to put their differences aside after the time that has passed? It remains to be seen whether Sam's return will be welcomed by her family, but the situation she returns to means she will need their support more than ever.

A post on the soap's Instagram teased Sam's return, quoting Medcalf as saying: ?It?s such a joy to be asked to come back to EastEnders, especially as it?s the festive period and you know there will always be plenty of fireworks.

"I love the character of Sam, she always causes drama wherever she goes, but she also has that vulnerable side too, which is great to play. It?s also lovely being back on set with the fantastic cast and to see old friends and new faces.?

Ben Wadey, EastEnders Executive Producer added: ?I?m delighted to welcome Kim Medcalf back to EastEnders for a short stint later this year. It?s no secret that wherever Sam Mitchell goes, drama inevitably follows, and with ex-accomplice Zoe Slater back in the Square, only time will tell if there is space for forgiveness between the pair, or whether battle lines will be drawn.?

Digital Spy first reported on Sam's potential return at the start of October, when an eagle-eyed fan spotted someone who appeared to be Medcalf on the set of the soap. At the time, an EastEnders spokesperson declined to comment on the reports, but her return has now been officially confirmed by this latest post.

Sam will be the latest character to return to the soap, after Jake Wood as Max, and Max Bowden as Ben Mitchell, both made appearances following their initial departures.
