Lets get the epic news out of the way first, shall we? Sam Mitchell is coming home!

Yes, indeed, the bungee cord has done it’s job correctly and brought the feistiest Mitchell, last seen in February 2024, home for Christmas! Actress Kim Medcalf took to X to confirm the news herself!

And what makes this even better? Her history with Zoe Slater, of course! It’s been 20 years since Sam did time for her part in Dirty Den‘s death, but Zoe, relatively speaking, got away scot-free. So will Sam and Zoe rekindle their friendship – or will their past drive them to fight?

Someone else who seems to have been fighting is Max Branning, seen filming at a churchyard for what appears to be little Jimmy Beales Christening. And he’s nursing a nasty split lip for the occasion! Who has Max rubbed up the wrong way now?

Elsewhere, while the aftermath of Okie‘s exit begins on the Square, Harry and Kojo have a lot to deal with. And they’re not the only ones dealing with trauma: next week, Vicki loses her cool in the Vic, launching into a married man for seducing a woman with no qualms!

When Zack calms her down however, there’s a shocking development for the two as they end up kissing! A stunned Kathy is horrified!

Is this the start of a new relationship? Will Sharon finally feel as Vicki did when she married Dennis? Either way, we predict fireworks when the Queen of Walford makes her return!

Sounds like an action-packed week down Walford way! But still, the most important question remains…

Will anyone actually complete the weekly pub quiz this side of Christmas or not?

Regards,
