'EastEnders' versus 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl'

If you didn't already know, the BBC released the first trailer for Danniella Westbrook's return as Sam Mitchell last night and I originally thought it was quite a nifty idea for a trail.

In fact, I still think it's nifty, but as someone (thanks xvoodoo_childx) quite rightly pointed out to me, they took their inspiration from the opening sequence of a certain ITV2 show featuring Billie Piper...

Here's the Sam Mitchell Trailer again:

And click 'play' to watch the opening titles to Secret Diary of a Call Girl, see if you notice anything...

Could this mean that Sam Mitchell's spent the last number of years as a hooker?

OMG - she's the spit of a young Wendy Richards

I agree with Casy - Danniella Westbrook doesn't exactly look at her best! And the titles are definitely similar, whoever was behind it must've known comparison's would be made! But I look forward to Sam's return. The square's being overrun by Mitchells, but I'm sure it'll make cool viewing!

I preferred it when Sam was played by that other actress. This one looks dreadful now, but I guess she does look like a Mitchell.

No offence but Danniella looks awful. She looks so old - it's like the arrival of Peggy's sister, not daughter!

Why can't the producers Of EastEnders come up with their own storylines instead of copying off another programme?

Well it wouldn't be the first time EE has copied off another programme. And to think we pay our licence fee for originality
