It seems very unlikely Daniella will be back now. Obviously it's not that long since she was in it but isn't she now homeless?

It's probably inevitable that Sam will be brought back in the future but it must be unlikely right now. In ten years perhaps with a new actress.

The DW version is too recent for a recast to work and the KM version was almost a different character entirely such that I never really bought into her. The character has been a mess for years, inconsistently written and the swapping between two actresses hasn't helped. Hopefully a decent break (of years) will allow the reset button to work but the character isn't needed right now.

The Mitchells are still the biggest family on the square and don't need building up. Time to focus on some different families and bring in some new blood.

If I was producer of EE I would kill the character off offscreen so she could never return.
This would finally bring to an end speculation about Daniella and the deluded who think that Kim would be some sort of saviour for the show.

No one can save this show while SOC's around, but it would be a start

I do not see how a return for Kim could be any more ridiculous than a Michelle recast.
Shes a capable actress and could easily incorporate the characteristics of the latest stint by Daniella with her own take on Sam.

Cabt Stand Sam wouldn't want her back.
