EastEnders to Air Breast Cancer Storyline as Character Returns After Nearly 2 Years
Sam Mitchell's breast cancer storyline highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, supported by Breast Cancer Now and experts to ensure accuracy and sensitivity.
- On November 28, EastEnders confirmed that Sam Mitchell will be diagnosed with breast cancer after returning to Walford in December following the discovery of a lump.
- Working with Breast Cancer Now and experts, producers ensured the storyline is sensitive and aims to raise awareness about breast checking and consulting GPs for changes.
- Sam finds a lump and initially hides it, prompting Jack Branning, Denise Fox, and Phil Mitchell to urge her to see a doctor while she seeks money at Phil's residence.
- Tests confirm Sam Mitchell has breast cancer but an early diagnosis allows removal of the lump via a lumpectomy, with recovery scenes set to air in the New Year and viewers following her journey over the festive period.
- Kim Medcalf returns as Sam Mitchell for a brief festive stint, reuniting with Zoe Slater's actor and marking Sam's first full return after nearly two years away.
