As Sam reveals cancer fears, her family try to convince her to seek help in EastEnders tomorrow
Sam fears the worst
Sam Mitchell revealed her fear that she’s dying from cancer in EastEnders tonight (Monday, December 8) as her return to Walford continued. After stealing money from Phil, she met with son Ricky Jr. – only to find herself in an unexpected confrontation with Jack.
Backed into a corner, Sam revealed that she’s found a lump, and thinks she might be dying.
Here’s what happened in EastEnders tonight – and what happens next.
Sam Mitchell’s return continued
Zoe was shocked to see Sam back on the Square. After beating a hasty retreat, she snuck into Phil’s home and attempted to unlock his safe.
She was caught in the act there by Nigel, who initially mistook her for Clare. After offering some kind words to confused Nigel (and taking the cash), Sam snuck back out again, where she was confronted by Zoe.
Zoe demanded to know whether she’d been responsible for her stalking. Sam, however, insisted that she was innocent of that particular crime – maintaining that she had better things to do with her time than stalking an old acquaintance.
Meanwhile, back home, Phil was shocked to learn that someone had helped themselves to the contents of his safe. Hearing tell of a middle-aged blonde woman, Phil assumed that it had been Nicola, and stormed off to reclaim his money.
He quickly realised the truth when he spotted Kat in a tense exchange with his sister, Sam.

After giving her brother the slip, Sam arranged to meet with Ricky Jr. An emotional Sam caught up with her son at McClunky’s, and piqued his concern with her odd behaviour.
She was planning on giving him the money she’d stolen from Phil, leaving it in an account to accrue interest. But before she could share the full story, Jack arrived, demanding to know what she was doing back in Walford.
Seeing how Sam’s visit had rattled their son, Jack followed her to Walford tube station. Demanding to know what she was up to, Jack forced a confession from his ex… she’d found a lump, and was convinced that she’s dying.

As the story continues tomorrow, Jack is concerned to hear that Sam hasn’t seen a doctor yet. Their conversation is interrupted by Phil, who demands his stolen money back.
Later, Denise sits down to talk to Sam about her health concerns. While Sam refuses to see a doctor, the pair agree upon a deal.
Later, Sam sists down for a family meal with Ricky Jr. and Lily. However, she soon realises that Jack and Denise are bluffing about the deal.
She goes to see Phil, where another plan arises.
