I would hope the new producer will have the cop on to realise that (1) Westbrook has always been bloody awful and (2) Sam is a character who could be brought back long term.

Would love to See Kim Medcalf back. Loved her as Sam.

BIB Never with Westbrook in the role imo. I would rather the character be killed off than have her back

I notice on her IMDB that she has hardly worked in TV since leaving EE. Maybe she has a bad rep with casting directors.

There is actually no need for Sam to be in the show anyway now, Roxy, Ronnie and Louise all fill her role and with Peggy gone for ever it gives Sam an even less purpose to be back. However with the kid she left with Jack still in the show I suppose that indicates we haven't seen the last of her.

Couldn't agree more. Tbh after that stunt she pulled abandoning Richard... I would rather the character killed off regardless. Bring Kim back but as a better character! Sam has been made into a character where she can't be fixed.

Could Sam return next year now that Ronnie and Roxy are leaving?

Kim Metcalfe was average at best in the role. People on this forum seem to big her up as if she is Meryl Streep. Terribly OTT behaviour over one actress.

I don't think its so much that Kim Medcalf was good but that Westbrook is bad. And when they switched back to Westbrook, they undid most of the characterisation of Sam turning her into a horrible caricature

To be honest I don't associate the 2 as the same character they just played them so differently there's not really any common link between them.

I'd love her to return and fill the void left by janine, plus I'd love her to get together with max they would be a dynamic coupling

Wasn't SOC in the show when Kim played Sam? Would be great if he brought her back.

I much prefer Kim as Sam, I feel Daniella as Sam took Sam backwards. Kim as Sam was much stronger Sam, I don't understand why they turned her into a selfish immature cow.

If Kim ever did come back I could imagine her and Jack having chemistry and them being a little unit with Richard

I loved Kim as Sam, Daniella hasn't played the role well since the 90's. Maybe if they bring the character back permanently Kim might return.

Kim Medcalf is Sam in my mind. Daniella despite all of her sins and having a bad life with overcoming drug addiction, just can't carry the role anymore and she makes the character look trashy!

these kim threads are just going to keep popping up arent they till Sam Mitchell eventually dies

To throw my 10 cents worth in, i would absolutely LOVE Kim to come back as Sam, she would ofcourse need to take on a rather more Bitchy persona to fit in with Daniella's recent return.
Considering how ridiculous Daniellas return was in 2009, it certainly would not be anymore ridiculous to have Kim back in the role.

Sadly. its never going to happen, it would take one brave producer.

It's true. I think the fact that people still go on about her is a testament to how she elevated the character of Sam and made the character her own. For instance I liked Hetti Bywater as Lucy but if EE decided to bring back Melissa after Hetti (obviously If they didn't kill her off) then would people had gone about about Hetti in the same way they talk about Kim and request her to come back etc and have polls on which actress should return etc?
