It's funny isn't it? The 'Our Sam' moniker which she has apparently been given by some, suggests that people feel a certain warmth towards her, they feel she is their friend, someone they know and are endeared to.
Perhaps that's easy for her to do when she feels liked and appreciated, easy to shout out a cheery 'Oy oy!' across the street. And of course keeps her thinking that she is known and has fans.
But she is not a cheery soul - she is in fact the opposite of what she needs to be to keep her fans. She is clearly only capable of short bursts of energy and happiness, but this show has really revealed her.
