EE Return - Spoilers included

[kitkat1971]

I'm not sure anybody will be surprised at this one following Peggy's news on Friday, but Ross Kemp has confirmed that he will make a brief return to EE for Peggy's death late in the Spring.

[ScrabblyWabbly]

So we will have

Peggy
Grant
Phil
Ronnie
Roxy
Sharon
Billy
Honey
Ben
Louise
Jay

With potential returns for Glenda and Sam too, that's all the major Mitchell's (who are alive) in the show at once.

[ScrabblyWabbly]

Oh and technicality nt a Mitchell but Aunt Sal has to be there too.

Excellent.

Imagine how scary that must be for Ross Kemp after all these years doing stuff in a different field.

[kitkat1971]

Oh I think he'll be okay.

Whilst Grant is very different to Kemp, I think he's probably like an old coat that he can slip back into quite easily.

Having stayed in touch, and friends with Barbara Windsor and McFadden will probably help too.

There's a thread on this over on DS but I have to say, I'd rather have Danniella Westbrrok back as Sam than Kim Medcalf (if we had a choice), despite Kim being the better actress simply because of her screen history with McFadden and Kemp with Medcalf (through no fault of her own) did not have.

[Lotty27]

I'm glad about this, I thought he'd come back for Barbara Windsor.  I think this will probably be the last time we see him in EE though, even if they killed Phil off in a few years time I not sure if he'd return for that.

Be interesting to see Grant and Phil together again.

And yes if I had to choose I'd pick Danniella too as she wasn't only the original Sam but the one who last played Sam last on screen so it makes more sense from that angle but she's not the better actress out of the two.

[ScrabblyWabbly]

I do prefer Kim, I think Daniella is awful but i can totally see why you'd both pick her due to the chemistry and history she brings. They problem is both Sams are in fact different people, Kim,should have played a Mitchell cousin rather than Sam Mitchell. I think I'd rather opt for No Sam but I cannot see that going well with th fans.

I don't think Sam, in whatever face she turns up with will be required to do that much anyway. The focus is going to be on Phil, Grant, Sharonand Kathy. Plus Prggy was incredibly close to Ronnie and Roxy too. So I think Sam will be in the background.

[kitkat1971]

Yes, I doubt Sam will do much. Some scenes with Jack because of Richard would be logical, perhaps leading to conflict with ronnie/Roxy or both and possibly sharon or Kat because of Den's death but other than that, i think she'll very much be background with Grant having most of the scenes.

Yes, I think of the two Sams as separate people really. Even though I liked Kim, she was never totally Sam for me but it did work at the time because she was taken in such a different direction and you could believe this was Sam grown up, once having tto stand on her own two feet without the constant "leave my baby sister alone" stuuff from Phil and Grant, even though she still made mistakes.

But then they regressed her right back to that sulky, helpless brat in 2009 and that was as much (ir not more) the writing than Danniella's performance.

As far as I'm concerned Grunt is as welcome  as a fart in a spacesuit. I mean what is he for? I was so delighted the Screechy one was dying but now I have to put up with every god damn no-hoper returning, the next one guaranteed is the utter slime that is Westbrook, you have no idea how much I despise her. If Sam has to return it should be Kim at least she's palatable.

Thanks

Take Sharon, Ronnie, Ben, Honey and Jay to safety and have an earthquake take out the rest. Thanks

Agree with Ben, Jay and Honey but maybe save Billy (even though I want him to leave but I don't feel like he deserves death). The rest can all die for me :L Especially Phil and Peggy.

Peggy is a fantastic character and I would never wish any harm on her. A single candle will be lit in J-B's headquarters when she goes.

I expect all the best characters will be back in her memory, like Sam and other Sam.

If they bring back all the Bens as well they could treat her to a Nolans tribute act or something.

Great thinking! With the musical loving Ben as the lead

I do hope I don't have to re-establish the rules on Ben while I am here, that would be tedious and boring, but I do torture really well so be warned   m0918
