Exterminated
No offense to other Emmerdale fans BUT Samantha was the most beautiful woman EVER on Emmerdale. The show needs another sexy twenty something woman to fill Sammy's shoes. Most of the women on Emmerdale are either old or frumpy and they do not have Samantha's sex appeal. She was the only really hot woman on the show.

Emmerdale bosses have refused to comment on "speculation" that Katie Addyman will be killed off next year.
As announced on Friday, the long-running character will bow out in 2015 as Sammy Winward has decided to leave the ITV soap after 13 years as Katie.
Quoting a show insider, a report in the Daily Star Sunday today (November 30) claims that Katie's exit storyline will see her meet a tragic end - leaving no room for her to return in the future.
However, approached by Digital Spy this morning, show chiefs refused to confirm or deny the claims.
A show spokesperson said: "We don't comment on speculation regarding future storylines."
Winward has played the role of Katie since 2001, but made the choice to leave Emmerdale to pursue other acting work.
An official statement recently confirmed: "Sammy Winward will leave Emmerdale in 2015 after playing Katie Addyman for 13 years. Her decision to pursue other acting opportunities gives the writing team the opportunity to create a sensational, not-to-be missed storyline for her exit."
In the meantime, Katie and her partner Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) will take centre stage over the festive season as they prepare to marry on Christmas Day. However, with Andy's brother Robert looming, there is a possibility that he could try to destroy their happiness all over again.

Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher has revealed that there is a "terrific storyline" being lined up for Sammy Winward's departure from the show.
Winward will bow out from her role as Katie Addyman in early 2015 after 13 years with the ITV soap. Her departure will no doubt devastate Fletcher's character Andy Sugden, who has only recently reunited with Katie.
Katie and Andy are currently preparing to tie the knot in a Christmas Day wedding, but it seems that there could be heartbreak in store in the New Year.
Speaking about Andy losing Katie, Fletcher commented: "I don't think he could cope! It's been six months escalating to this wedding and he's finally got Katie in his life. With the thought of her not being part of that life, I can't begin to think what it could bring.
"For an actor, it's going to bring some amazing scenes. It's down to the producer Kate [Oates] and her team how Andy will fare moving forward, but it's a big loss for me personally to lose Sammy."
He continued: "It makes all the scenes that we're going to be filming over the coming months that little bit more special, I guess.
"All in all, it's bittersweet. We do lose a great character, I'll lose a great friend and a great actress - but at the same time we gain a terrific storyline and one that the viewers will remember for years to come."
Fletcher explained that while Winward's decision to bow out hasn't caused him to question his own future with Emmerdale, he would like to play another character in the future.
He said: "I've got really excited about this storyline and it's grown week after week, script after script - and going forward with Sammy's departure looming. That's going to be amazing to film and the ideas being thrown around, I feel, are going to bring out my best performances to date.
"I don't really think too much of what other people are doing. There's no formula or way to do things, especially in acting. Everything is a unique decision and bespoke to you. Sammy has made her decisions and that's fair enough, but I feel that at the minute I'm doing everything that I want to do and I'm doing everything the right way for me.
"I've always had itchy feet. I had itchy feet five years ago - itchy feet in the sense that I aspire to play another character and I aspire to do other things. But nothing quite enough to bring me away from Emmerdale at the minute.
"It's storylines like this that really make me want to be part of Emmerdale at this time, so I'm very happy and content being part of the show, but looking forward there are so many factors that are not in my control. As it stands at the minute I'm very excited, and if it changes then we'll see."
Fletcher also stayed coy on whether Katie's mystery exit could bring out Andy's angry side once again.
He said: "It depends on how the departure is playing out, in what circumstances and who is responsible - if there is somebody, or is it just a decision that she makes that she leaves?
"Andy has said before that he feels complete now that Katie is in his life. Having someone taken away from you is a big loss. There may be an element of him being a bit angry, but we'll have to see."

Emmerdale star Sammy Winward has hinted that her character Katie Addyman will be shocked by the events that take place on her wedding day.
Katie and her partner Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) are planning to tie the knot on Christmas Day, but the ceremony may not run smoothly as not everyone is in favour of the nuptials.
Andy's feud with his brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) will escalate into a fight on the night before the wedding, providing Robert with an even bigger motive to ruin the big day.
The farmer's jealous ex Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) could also be tempted to cause trouble after getting drunk just before the wedding.
Teasing the hour-long Christmas Day episode, Winward commented: "On the morning of the wedding, Katie is really excited. She does get lots of butterflies which is to be expected, but she can't wait and she knows it's the right thing to do.
"Katie doesn't have any worries that anything is going to go wrong. She thinks that everything has been sorted out with Bernice and with Robert, so it's going to be fine. It makes it more of a shock when things don't necessarily go to plan!
"I think the viewers will be surprised as to what happens and whether or not it turns out to be a happy day for them both."

Andy awaits Katie's arrival at the church Looking very happy .. NOT!!
Katie and Andy previously tied the knot in 2004 and are now hoping for a second chance at happiness after rekindling their romance earlier this year.
Discussing the mood on set when the wedding scenes were filmed, Winward added: "It was really lovely actually. We both got really emotional because it was a reminder that we've both been in the show for so long. We did this 10 or 11 years ago!
"It was a fun day, because we had a really good group of us in the church and we always try to make it good fun. It was a bit of a shock when we realised how long ago we got married the last time! The fashions have completely changed too and that just proves how long ago it was!"
Whatever the outcome of the wedding, Katie and Andy's dramas look set to continue into the New Year, as Emmerdale bosses recently announced that Winward had quit the show and her final scenes will air in early 2015.

Sammy Winward said that her decision to leave Emmerdale wasn't one she took lightly.
After playing Katie Addyman for 13 years, the 29-year-old actress will bow out of the soap in 2015.
In an interview with The Express, Winward said: "It's not a decision I have made lightly.
"I've had the most amazing 13 years at Emmerdale and I'm going to miss everyone terribly. But no one becomes an actor to play one role.
"I don't want to give anything away about how Katie goes, but it's dramatic."
Neither Winward or Emmerdale bosses would confirm if the character will be killed off, although the actress did tease a dramatic Christmas wedding to Andy Sugden.
"Katie's aware that Bernice (Samantha Giles) still holds a torch for Andy and is struggling with it, but Katie doesn't think she'll be a threat on the day.
"Andy's brother Robert (Ryan Hawley) is another story, though. He's always been a thorn in her side and she's worried he'll do something to ruin it all."
Winward has been involved in some major storylines since she first appeared on the soap in July 2001, including a fling with Andy's brother Robert.
Emmerdale producer Kate Oates recently said: "I know Sammy well and I know how long she has been in the show, so I knew she wouldn't have made the decision lightly.
"When she came to tell me she'd made the decision, from my point of view it was one of those discussions where I said, 'Have you made this decision or can I talk you out of it?' She said, 'No, no, I've made my decision'."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
