It's Mitchell mania this weekend as Danniella Westbrook's return to EastEnders as Sam Mitchell dominates the soaps coverage.

The show's original Mitchell sister makes her screen comeback on Friday, September 4 on BBC One, but as expected, her first scenes are the week's 'duff duff' moment. I won't ruin her first lines, but let's just say Bianca's (Patsy Palmer) left reeling.

Her first proper scenes go to air on Monday, September 7 as the Mitchells - and Bianca - deal with the fallout of her sudden return. Peggy's (Barbara Windsor) delighted by her daughter's comeback, while Phil (Steve McFadden) insists that it's not safe for her to be back in the area as the police are still after her.

Despite Billy's (Perry Fenwick) caution to be careful, Sam heads downstairs into the bar for a drink. There, Patrick (Rudolph Walker) asks whether the charges against her have been dropped, with Sam responding 'pretty much'. Bianca's devastated as she overhears Ricky explaining that the day he spent with Sam in Brazil was one of the best of his life.

Upstairs, meanwhile, Phil's searching for his sister's passport but his attention soon deviates when he can't find Sam anywhere. Panicking, he heads into the bar with Peggy and they're shocked to find Sam dancing on a table...

How will the Mitchells deal with Sam's sudden return? Will the police catch up with her?

One thing's for sure, family lawyer Ritchie Scott's involved...

Over in Emmerdale, Faye's (Kim Thomson) relationship with Cain moves to the next level in a fortnight's time when they share a kiss.

After finding £5,000 in her son Ryan's (James Sutton) belongings, Faye presumes it to be the result of criminal activity and returns the cash to Cain, warning him to leave Ryan alone. Ryan's furious, though, when he discovers what his mother's done and forces her to apologise.

Faye goes for a drink with Cain where he steps up his flirting. Returning to Faye's house with her, the pair finally kiss but she pulls away, unsure of her actions.

Is Faye falling for Cain? Is she playing games with him? Or are they playing games with each other?
