I think it should be Danielle Westbrook for the only reason that she was the original and she worked with Peggy better I didn't really like Kim Metcalfe that much but I don't think it was her acting I think it was a time of EastEnders I didn't like apart from the Den murder

I don't think there's any chance Kim Medcalf will be returning. They've already recast the role twice and the last two times Sam appeared she was played by Daniella. Kim's Sam has been erased from history.

I will admit to being surprised at that result.

I will probably get jumped on for this, but I can never have sympathy for junkies or ex-junkies through personal experience of them so Westbrook really curdles my blood and in my view money should not have been wasted by the NHS on her nose her own bloody fault

Sorry Hilds but this is a subject that truly gets to me

I would have said Danniella, but after seeing her on Big Brother. I'd prefer Kim.

OK I can see this a hot potato issue for you so I won't pursue it or overpursue it. 👍

DTC tweeted without naming any celebrity big brother housemates by name that people on there should respect the game and stop trying to break out when their upset or something akin to meaning that. I think he must have had Danniella as one of those people in mind given the episode that aired the day he tweeted it.

Perhaps just perhaps then he's not minded to ask her back as going by that tweet he's not overly keen on her ways. Having said that I could be drawing up the wrong dots and he will decide something quite different.

I have no idea what you are talking about re: CBB as I don't watch it Hilds but one thing I will say is if DTC brings Westbrook back, as much as I really love the show, there is a good chance I will give up on it entirely

The general audience probably don't care who plays Sam as they don't get wrapped up in overthinking soaps like we do. I think and hope it will be Danniella.

I would've been surprised had Danniella won the poll since Kim is more popular on DS.

Oh I only watch it so I can see and understand what my subjects are up to!

Goodness me you clearly have strong feelings on the subject. Everyone has their own red lines I guess. 👍

Although I'm not a fan of Westbrook, it should be her who plays Sam because she's the one with most history with the other Mitchells and she played Sam in the last stint. It would be getting ridiculous to recast her back to Kim after Danniella returned in 2009.

I think you'd be surprised how many people share your view. My wife and I are totally intolerant of druggies from any walk of life. The harm they bring to themselves and their families is entirely of their own selfish making, to say nothing of the perpetuation of the dealer networks whose only motivation is greed, with no thought to the consequences.

Drugs are just not necessary; don't they get high enough on the success of being in a top TV show, let alone the alcohol fuelled high they get from all the drinking that goes on at after show parties and the like?

Back on topic, I won't be able to look at Daniella Westbrook without recalling those obscene images when she damaged her nose the last time around. Reintroducing Sam Mitchell is probably going to be a step too far for many people.

If they're only bringing Sam back for Peggy's death/funeral then it should be daniella. If they want to bring her back full time then it should be Kim.

Personally I'd much prefer Kim as daniella's sam is basically roxy.

Is Westbrook an 'actress'?

Really?

Kim all the way for me (or even a recast if required).

I think they are at a loss who should play sam now.

Daniella - Even though she is the original sam, she has the most history with the show.. Ricky/Bianca (even though not on show) Roxy and Ronnie and Phil, Grant and Peggy. She has been in scene with all mitchells unlike medcalf. She has had scenes with Sharon back in the 90s. Plus would make sence since Jacks on way back and Daniella played Sam whilst giving birth to there baby Richard.
Only problem with Daniella is everyone is waiting to see Sam re-action to Sharon and Kim Medcalf played that....

Medcalf - Yes she made the part hers, but she only had 1 year of peggy and three years with Phil and a couple of weeks with Grant. 3 years with Sharon.
She made Sam thanks to Zoe and Chrissie and that famous storyline with Dens dismise. That year she made EE with Zoe and Chrissie. But Daniella came back in 2009 and made reference to all three characters on her return.

Daniella would make the most sence of coming back in the role. Peggy funeral and meeting Richard who would be 4 and a half and meeting his dad Jack which causes problems for Ronnie

Westbrook was with them in the nineties and was the original but a lot of people do remember Kim Metcalf version from what was a quite a few years for the show and she is imo the better version.

Perhaps KM's Sam is too much like Ronnie and Roxy and I guess if she not returning on permanent basis it doesn't really matter who comes back, I think as long as R & R are on the show, Sam isn't needed.

Disliking Daniella Westbrook because she has had drug addiction issues in the past is a horrible thing, she obviously has serious mental health issues of which drug addiction is one of. Mental illness is just as serious and valid as physical illness, and the lack of empathy for Daniella's issues in the past on this forum has been so mean.

Regardless of Daniella's drug issues, Kim Medcalf was probably the better actress. However, Daniella had the most screen time with Phil, Grant and especially Peggy, and not only that she was brought back to play her in 2009 and 2010, and another switch again would be ridiculous to the extreme. I think Kim's Sam was more like Ronnie than Daniella's like Roxy, and I do hope regardless of her behaviour in CBB that she returns to play Sam for Peggy's exit - she will be playing Sam not Daniella after all.

If you had seen what my best friend's brothers heroine addiction had on the whole extended family and had done to her and her niece who ended up living with her grandmother and relying on her aunt to be a mother figure because her mum and dad were unfit to be parents, the thieving, the attempts to burn her mothers house down with their child in it, you may understand that I am biased on this subject, and have no truck with their pathetic excuses. If you think I have been horrible you may be right in this instance but I am quite a decent loving guy, but if you think my attitude towards junkies is bad you should meet by best friend.

I certainly didn't want to offend you personally though that was never the intention

Oh and junkies lie for a living and from my experience often promise to get off the drugs go for rehab etc, etc but almost always end up back to their old ways. I realise that I have probably just been unfortunate and not met the properly rehabilitated ones but I'm afraid those I have come across don't fill me with any confidence at all.

I used to have a more pragmatic stance on the subject until I met this friend 17 years ago and she assured me they are rarely worth saving.
