Westbrook did no researchDanniella Westbrook's back as EastEnder Sam Mitchell and her alter ego seems to have had a personality transplant.

I caught up with the actress and asked her if she watched clips of Kim Metcalf to find out what had happened to her character since she left.

"No," she laughed. "The governor wanted Sam the way I played her so we did it the way I do it." So that's why Sam's regressed to acting like a teenager...
