Sam's BACK

But what's the reason for her return to Walford?

- ALISON SLADE

With Phil Mitchell behind bars, in no position to run his dodgy business empire or help struggling son Ben, he could really do with someone strong and capable to step up on his behalf.

Failing that, there's always little sister Sam, who's back in Walford from Spain.

It's difficult to define Sam, as she's had various guises over the decades. First, we had dopey Sam, played by Danniella Westbrook; a girl who'd swap a kidney for a designer handbag, and who once asked brother Grant for a slimline mineral water in The Vic.
