Sam mitchell bids farewell in explosive scenes, leaving walford in turmoil

In a surprising twist, EastEnders legend Kim Medcalf, who reprised her role as Sam Mitchell just months ago, has decided to exit the BBC soap once again. The actress, known for her portrayal of the iconic villain, returned to the show two years ago, captivating audiences with her memorable performance.

Medcalf took a brief break last year but made a triumphant comeback towards the end of the year. However, it has now been revealed that her return was intended as a short stint, culminating in her recent departure.

Sam Mitchell’s exit unfolded on screens recently, marked by an explosive confrontation with her brother Phil. The dramatic storyline saw Phil attempting to swindle Sam out of her inheritance from Aunt Sal, leading her to resort to blackmail for the funds.

As tensions escalated, Sam exposed Phil’s infidelity with Emma, shattering his marriage with Kat. With Phil’s life in disarray, he turned on Sam, issuing a warning for her to leave before facing his revenge.

In an emotional moment with her son Ricky, Sam made the difficult decision to abandon him once again. Actress Kim Medcalf shared her thoughts on the departure, stating, “It’s been brilliant, as always! It was perfect timing for me, and it worked really well that Sam was coming back for another short stint.”

Reflecting on her character, she highlighted the unpredictable nature of Sam Mitchell: “That’s the beauty of this character – I love that she comes in, disrupts things, and then leaves the debris behind her. Hopefully, she’ll be back again sometime for another stint of causing chaos.”

Describing Sam’s fearless and honest personality, Medcalf expressed her admiration for the character’s lack of filter: “Sam doesn’t have that filter others have, and that’s fantastic to play. I respect her honesty.”

Fans of EastEnders will undoubtedly miss the turmoil and drama brought by Sam Mitchell, eagerly anticipating the possibility of her return for more chaos in the future.
