Poll: Are you looking forward to Sam Mitchell's return?

Last week, I asked, 'Was Hollyoaks' Ste/Abi/Daniel plot an anti-climax?'.

You voted in your thousands and the results are in.

A massive 76.6% of those who voted thought the story was truly anti-climactic, while the remaining votes were split almost equally - 12.1% were indifferent, and 11.3% thought it lived up to expectations.

Last weekend, I caught the episodes again on the Sunday omnibus and one thing I neglected to mention in my previous blog was how good a performance I thought Kieron Richardson turned out as Ste. I think he was the saving grace of the story.

Moving onto this week's question now, in which I ask, 'Are you looking forward to Sam Mitchell's return to 'EastEnders'?'



We've known since April that Danniella Westbrook was to reprise her role as the original Mitchell sister Sam, despite Kim Medcalf being the last person to play the part.

I was initially sceptical about the switch because I was a big fan of Medcalf as Sam - and Tracy-Ann Oberman as Chrissie - through the Dirty Den days. But having seen Danniella's comeback scenes, she really is a true, gritty Mitchell. Oh, and she looks the spitting image of her screen mum Peggy (Barbara Windsor).

If you haven't had the chance to watch the trailer for Sam's return yet, then click your clicker here.

So are you looking forward to Sam/Danniella's return to Walford? Are you pleased that there'll be more Mitchell-time? Or would you rather see Kim Medcalf back in the role?

It's a fait accompli anyway, but it'll be interesting nonetheless to gauge public opinion!
