i think its time for thread 100000 concerning who Sam mitchell should be played by Though this one has a vote.
i personally would go for Kim everytime. Still cant get over the producer at the time bringing back Daniella. What a way to sh*t on character progression.

Its not up to us, besides it will be Danniella as Danniella is the actress who has the history with Bab's, Ross and Steve. Plus Danniella confirmed on CBB that EE had been talking with her recently.

I heard Kim pissed off the BBC in 2005 which is why they have had nothing to do with her since.

Wasnt it Kim who was around during Grants last return to the square though ?
And im sure Peggy and 'Kims' Sam shared a hell of alot of screen time together aswell.

I would go for Daniella, she is the original Sam, I thought Kim was good but her Sam wasn't the same person to me. The whole thing was just odd.

No more odd than Martin Fowler being played by the current imposter.

Yes but Danniella was Sam when the Mitchell's were at their peak. She is known as Sam Mitchell to non EE viewers and as Ross is most likely back for Peggy's death the show will go for the most famous sibling line up.

Unless Danniella does something to shock the nation between now and when its filmed, she will be the Sam returning. imho.

If Sam comes back it'll be Daniella although I would prefer Kim. Kim looks more like a Mitchell, she looks like Ronnie and Roxy.

Danielle is in the Big brother house trying to raise her profile and prove to producers she's changed. Wouldn't be surprised if Danielle made a longer reappearance, maybe a few months

Whilst I preferred Kim's Sam, bringing her back after bringing Daniella back would just be utter farce.

So, begrudgingly, it should be Daniella.

Daniella is Sam Mitchell, warts and all. Kim Medcalfes version was like another character.

It has to be Daniella. Another head swap would be ridiculous. Heck, it was ridiculous enough last time round.

I'd much rather Kim be Sam, since the character really developed with her performances.

I preferred Kim but, honestly, Daniella is the original Kim not to mention the most recent one. She should return for Peggy's death.

Daniella without a doubt. Kim coming back would just make a laughing stock out of it IMO. Changing back to Kim after changing back to Daniella in 2009, there's no point. I think they should give Danielle a chance. Also, more people will recognise Daniella's Sam, especially the younger viewers.

Daniella is a waste of space, so it definitely should be Kim who returns as Sam

The only problem with Danniella's 2009 return was the way in which they regressed Sam. Had she returned and maintained a sense of continuity with Kim's version, I think her return would have been better well received than it was.

i agree with this. however we will ofcourse never know. thats when eastenders really started to tumble downhill for me.... then Kirkwood came along battered the show to death.

Not really relevant since no one has had scenes with anyone until they are given some, and Kim was way better when she was Sam anyway.

Kim was the much better Actress but I don't think she has done much TV recently, I suspect Daniella for Peggy's Funeral but not a permanent return.

Daniella
Her version of the character wasn't just the original, but the most faithful and more Mitchell like.

In general, I believe there is room for a full time return for the character anyway. Especially with Jack Branning back and the fact they have a child together, which would really ruffle feathers with Ronnie.

She has starred in a couple of BBC programs since then though, I thought she just preferred theatre over tv work. Nigel Harman is the same.

Why would they bring back Kim, when it was Daniella who shared the most history with Barbara/Peggy. Whether you think she's better or not, the point of bringing the Mitchells back together is to have one final get together when Peggy passes. Surely having a Sam that has over 20 years of history with both Peggy and her brothers back for her mother's passing makes more sense than a Sam that barely even interacted with them.

Bringing back Kim Medcalf would ruin Peggy's finale. And this comes from someone who really isn't a fan of Daniella's acting.
