Danniella in return to Enders?

[angel_eyes87]

So basically when she comes back there will be a stupid love triangle, between her, ricky and bianca. Cant see that being an interesting storyline to be honest. Bianca had a great storyline when she came back into Eastenders, but did Ricky I cant remember, well if he did it mustn't have been that good if I cant remember.

If Sam returns wont she go to jail for her part in Den's death and thats why she went to Brazil with Grant

I always prefered Kim playing Sam

Didn't Grant go off to Portugal after his last wife cheated on him?

[Perdita]

Yes, Grant is now living in Portugal with Courtney. I suppose if they want Grant to come back to EE, they need to bring her back too.

[Bad Wolf]

i really dont get why they are bringing her back- whats the poinr and we already have the alpha mitchell daughter- ronnie, unless they are going to clash?

[sindydoll]

when does she return?

[Perdita]

She is due to return later this year, no specific date has been announced yet, as far as I know.

EastEnders icon Barbara Windsor has said that her screen son Phil (Steve McFadden) won't stand a chance when Sam Mitchell (Danniella Westbrook) returns to Albert Square.

Speaking to DS on the red carpet at this year's British Soap Awards, she teased: "There'll be her, my little princess, Ronnie and Roxy... Phil doesn't stand a chance, does he?!"

She added: "I didn't even know [Danniella was returning] until I read it in the paper."

It will turn out to be only a short stay on the square. There is no way that EE can agree to a long term agreement with Danielle considering the current finiancial climate and I will be surprised if Ricky lasts until the end of the year as he is so wooden, he has learned nothng in his time away.

Danniella Westbrook has insisted that she doesn't feel nervous about her return to EastEnders.

The actress announced in April that she was reprising her role as Sam Mitchell on the BBC One soap. She will film her first scenes next week.

Westbrook made her debut as Sam in 1990 and stayed in Walford for three years. She returned in 1995 and 2000 but was dropped from the programme on both occasions due to her drug addiction and other personal problems.

Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: "The person I was when I last left was sick - it wasn't the person I was when I first joined in 1990 and I had several years of doing good work before I got ill. People remember the horrific times.

"But I'm not nervous. People keep saying that everyone is worried about how I'm going to cope but I'm a 35-year-old wife and mother, and I cope on a daily basis. I've had eight years of being clean and steady, and my family are all behind me because they know it's the right time."

Discussing her hopes for the comeback, she revealed: "It'll be great closure for me to finish something I started. It's also important that cast members who I let down when I was using drugs see me in a different light. I have to earn their respect back."

Kim Medcalf was the last actress to play the part of Sam, appearing on the show from 2002 to 2005.

Im really not keen on this at all, I wonder if Kim was actually asked?
