EastEnders fans were full of praise for actress Kim Medcalf as they heaped praise about her astonishing comeback to Walford.
The 48-year-old bombshell, looked dynamite as she turned up in Albert Square looking immaculately turned out wearing a fabulous white blazer, black leather trousers and a towering pair of stiletto heels.
As she emerged from a taxi she was accidentally hit by a football that was kicked by her son Ricky.
Sam failed to recognise her own son after six years and ended up bursting his ball with her large spiked heel.
Astonished fans of the BBC soap, were so excited by Peggy Mitchell’s daughter’s return that they were practically bursting with praise.
One fan wrote: “I love Kim Medcalf. Impeccable footwear. Ultimate poise. Smash your face in. #EastEnders #SamMitchell.”
Another commented: “This Sam Mitchell is the best from past actresses #EastEnders @bbceastenders.”
While a third person remarked: “The fact God Medcalf was the Sam to dig up Dirty Den’s corpse. Danniella could only dream of such a storyline #EastEnders.”
A forth penned: “God Medcalf is a legend. That’s the tweet. #EastEnders #SamMitchell.”
Meanwhile, back in February Danniella Westbrook who played the role of Sam Mitchell first aired her “shock” at not being told about Kim being cast again.
In an interview with The Sun, Dannielle fumed: ‘I’ve been known as Sam Mitchell for 32 years.

“But nobody at EastEnders contacted me to let me know they had recast Kim in the role.”
She added: “There wasn’t even an email to my agent. I was shocked because they do have a responsibility to tell me and someone should have.”
In 1990 the daughter of Peggy Mitchell, made her debut and was originally played by Danniella.
But in 2002 Kim stepped in to replace the actress while she battled her highly publicised cocaine addiction.
Kim was cast in 2002 and 2005 but in more recent years the role was returned to Danniella.
Danniella returned to the soap in September 2009 for a year, then for a final time as Sam in 2016 for a short four episode stint.
