Sam Mitchell ruffles some feathers when she jets back into Walford in Tuesday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm. see our TV Guide for full listings).

Sam Mitchell has flown over from Spain to make a surprise visit to Albert Square!

Sam's not been seen since abandoning son Ricky with dad Jack Branning after her mum Peggy Mitchell's funeral, back in 2016.

Needless to say, rivals Sharon Watts and Kat Slater are less than impressed to see her. She refuses to tell the ladies why she's back in the Square and instead enjoys winding them up.

Jack is horrified when he sees Sam, who hasn't had contact with their son since she left him. Sam reassures Jack that she's not sticking around, but mindful that Ricky might see her, he agrees with Denise Fox that it's better Ricky knows who she is.

After an eventful first day in the Square, will Sam admit the real reason behind her visit?
