KIM Medcalf has been pictured for the first time back at the EastEnders set after her bombshell return was revealed. The actress will again take on the role of Sam Mitchell for the first time in 17 years.

She was pictured outside the London set having finished a day of filming. Sam — daughter of Queen Vic boss Peggy Mitchell — made her Walford debut in 1990, played by a 17-year-old Danniella Westbrook.

But as the actress fought drug addiction she was replaced by Kim in 2002. Kim, 48, played Sam until 2005. Danniella, 48, reprised the role in 2009 and then again in 2016, when Sam joined her family for Peggy’s funeral.

EastEnders confirmed Kim has been re-cast as Sam to The Sun, who abandoned son Ricky when she quit Walford. And sources said BBC soap bosses — who have been in talks with Kim since last autumn — are planning a series of explosive storylines.
