Sam Mitchell storms back onto Albert Square where she belongs this week – causing trouble wherever she goes – in what turns out to be quite the stressful Mitchell week!
First, Sam rocks up and Zoe takes aim! Of course, Sam must be her stalker! Naturally, Sam has no clue what her former co-conspirator is on about – having come to Walford to take her share of the Mitchell cash!
Finding her ways around Nigel when he is convinced she’s his step-daughter Clare, cruel Sam uses his illness to her advantage and goes for the Mitchell safe!
But as she flees, Jack approaches his ex. It turns out that Sam has found a lump on her breast – just like her mother Peggy before her – and doesn’t want – or feel – like her family’s support.
Determined to face things on her own, will the Mitchells and the Brannings come together and leave the past behind as Sam faces her biggest battle yet?
Also, next week, George has not one, but two huge shocks! First, he discovers that Teddy didn’t kill Okie – when Harry confesses all. Then, in an effort to stop George from going to the law, mum Nicola then reveals that she’s pregnant – and the baby she’s expecting is his! How will George react? Will he keep quiet for Nicola and their unborn baby’s sake?
And also this week, just to put the Mitchells through more drama, Teddy also stands trial – accused of murdering Okie. Will George throw a spanner in the works? Who will go down for Okie’s death? And when Harry overdoses under the pressure, will he be okay?
Is Teddy doomed to live the rest of his natural behind bars?
Oh, and Oscar Branning turns 18 this week and has a party, organised by sister Lauren to celebrate! The question is, could there be some uninvited guests? A dad-shaped pressie maybe..?
Regards,
The Curator
