You know a character is iconic when they have a plotline involving a paternity test… for a baby that wasn’t theirs. Sam Mitchell once faked a pregnancy, pretended the baby belonged to her brother Phil’s rival, and then promptly lost the whole scheme in a fog of lip gloss and lies. That’s not even the weirdest bit—she later took a bullet for her brother while wearing a denim jacket. Pure soap opera crack.
Also, Sam has been married four times. Four! That’s more weddings than most people have pairs of shoes. Her husbands include a gangster, a mortgage fraudster, and a man who literally died in a car crash during their honeymoon. If Sam Mitchell is at your wedding, cancel the venue.
EastEnders Kim Medcalf returns as Sam Mitchell not Danniella Westbrook
