Former EastEnder Danniella Westbrook is set to return to the BBC One soap as Sam Mitchell this summer.

"I'm really happy to be coming back, it feels just like coming home," the actress said.

Westbrook, 35, first appeared on Albert Square in 1990 but left in 1996. She spent a brief second stint in the show between 1999 and 2000.

In 2002, she was replaced in the role by another actress, Kim Medcalf, who left EastEnders in 2005.

Sam Mitchell was last seen on screen, making a quick exit to Brazil after becoming a suspect in the Dirty Den murder case.

Surely if Sam is written back into Eastenders, she will get arrested in connection with Den's murder. I bet that won't come into the storyline at all. All will be forgotton.

I prefer Kim Medcalf playing the role. Bring back Kim instead!

I agree, all of it is most likely to be forgotten.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson makes a cameo appearance on Thursday's episode of EastEnders. He appears in the Queen Vic pub in Albert Square whilst characters Peggy and Roxy are having a conversation.

The production team at EastEnders approached Johnson earlier this year to ask if he would like to appear as part of a topical storyline.

Actress Barbara Windsor, who plays Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders, is to leave the BBC One soap next year.

The 72-year-old has played the Albert Square matriarch since 1994.

The star, who won a lifetime achievement gong at this year's British Soap Awards, said she wanted to spend more time with her husband.

"I'll be so sad to leave Peggy behind. EastEnders has been wonderful to me and it's no secret that it changed my life all of those years ago," she said.

Scripts for Christmas editions of EastEnders have been stolen in a burglary at the home of one of the soap's writers, the BBC has said.

Executive producer Diederick Santer said he is "keen" to recover the laptop which "contains the twists and turns of our exciting EastEnders Christmas".

Actors destroyed their scripts after filming seasonal scenes to minimise the risk of leaks to the press.

This year's specials will focus on dramatic events in the Queen Vic pub.

Jackson return

Precise details about the main storyline have been a closely-guarded secret.

The festive double bill will be screened on Christmas Day and often captures the soap's biggest audience of the year.

In 2007, EastEnders' Christmas special in which the long-running affair between Max and daughter-in-law Stacey was revealed attracted 14 million viewers and was the most-watched programme of the year.

The soap has also announced the return of Billie Jackson, first played by actor Devon Anderson as a six-year-old in 1993.

He will make a comeback to Albert Square along with mother Carol Jackson, sister Sonia - played by Natalie Cassidy - and Robbie Jackson (Dean Gaffney) early next year.

Carol's eldest daughter Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer, made a return to the series earlier this year.

EastEnder Ricky Groves and dance partner Erin Boag have become the latest couple to leave BBC One show Strictly Come Dancing.

Olympic athlete Jade Johnson was also forced to withdraw from the series after failing to recover from a ligament injury.

Groves, this week's lowest scoring contestant, had performed the Tango with dance partner Erin Boag.

He told the judges he knew he had made mistakes during the routine.

He said: "You make mistakes, you've got to go, maybe it's my time to go."

"I'm not making excuses, I mucked up out there," he added.

Head judge Len Goodman said there were "too many mistakes" and he "kept going wrong", while Bruno Tonioli said the performance ended "very, very badly".

Groves was in the dance off against against Footballers' Wives actress Laila Rouass.

Johnson, a two-times Commonwealth Games and European Championship silver medallist, is hoping for a podium finish at the 2012 Olympics in London.

Her injury raised fears the long jumper could jeopardise her long term career if she continued in the competition.

She said: "I'm a competitor and I don't give up easily so I'm absolutely gutted that it means that I can't continue dancing in the show.

"I've had a great time and really enjoyed learning to dance, and I am going to miss training with Ian who has been a fantastic partner.

"I'd like to thank all of the people at home who have been supporting me right the way through."
