EastEnders fans were shocked on Monday (April 18) when Sam Mitchell made an unexpected return to the Square.
Played by Kim Medcalf, the star hasn’t appeared in Albert Square as Sam since 2005.
Between 2009 and 2010, the character was played by Danniella Westbrook, and she returned again in 2016.
The original Sam is back, making a visit to her brother Phil (played by Steve McFadden) in prison after he made the decision to become a police informant.
Her return can only mean things are about to escalate, as she’s been in more than a few shocking situations herself over the years.
Here are the top five most unbelievable Sam Mitchell moments over the years.

Sam has always been known for her good looks, but she certainly capitalised on it career-wise.
She pursued a modelling career and agreed to do a photoshoot when a professional photographer insisted on building her portfolio.
However, it wasn’t long before Sam realised that the photographer had other ideas in mind.
She posed for a series of topless pictures that soon found their way onto the front cover of a motoring magazine.
It was one of the more embarrassing moments for Sam, but she certainly found success in modelling... just not how she expected.
Conned out of a fortune
Sam has had her fair share of bad guys - after all, she has never had any problem in attracting the attention of men.
After her first marriage to Ricky Slater, she tore through a few questionable relationships.
However, the one that left her most devastated was Andy Hunter.
He was a gangster that had one goal in mind – taking over Phil’s business.
Sam was just one small part of his insidious plan and he soon married her to see his mission through.
After she signed over Phil’s house, Andy chucked her and left her penniless.
It was a grim situation and one Sam took a long time to recover from.
Arson insurance scam backfiring
During a time when Phil was on the run after escaping prison, Sam was left the keys to the Mitchell empire.
Almost immediately, funds started going down, leaving her in a desperate position.
She convinced her cousin Billy to light up Phil’s snooker club for the insurance.
However, the fire spread over to Den Watts’ nightclub and almost killed his daughter, Vicki Fowler.
