EASTENDERS star Kim Medcalf has finally been pictured after disappearing from the soap – as fans fear she’ll never return.
Kim has played Sam Mitchell on and off in the BBC soap from 2002 to 2005 and then again from 2022 until earlier this year.
Sam exited Albert Square to head to Spain to manage a luxury new bar in a hotel.
She later called Jack Branning to tell him she would be staying on until “at least the end of summer” as the hotel had been inundated with guests.
It’s left fans fearing she may never return to Walford, so they were delighted to see a new snap of Kim out and about in London.
