US EditionEastEnders legend says they'll return to BBC soap under one strict condition
Danniella Westbrook, who originally played Sam Mitchell from 1990, states she would return to EastEnders only if her character gains control of the Queen Vic pub.
- Recently, Danniella Westbrook said she would return to BBC soap EastEnders only if Sam Mitchell ran the Queen Vic, stating, `I'd only go back if they gave Sam Mitchell the Queen Vic.`
- Having first appeared in 1990, Danniella Westbrook last played Sam Mitchell in 2016 after intermittent returns and earlier returns recreated chemistry with Patsy Palmer and Sid Owen.
- Westbrook noted her Sam Mitchell differs greatly from Kim Medcalf's portrayal and suggested a pub-running Sam like Peggy Mitchell would bring new drama, including poker nights.
- Such a move could hand Sam Mitchell similar authority to Peggy Mitchell, recapturing iconic Mitchell clan drama and filling EastEnders' current lack of matriarchs.
- Producers have cautioned due to Westbrook's personal battles affecting her work, but she said she hopes for reconciliation and a future meeting amid BBC EastEnders production context.
