EASTENDERS’ Sam Mitchell goes to extreme lengths to bring down the Mitchell Empire – and plots against Zack Hudson as part of her sinister plan.
The businesswoman – who is played by Kim Medcalf on the BBC One soap – is worried she will be caught out by her brother Phil, now that he’s been released from prison.
Last month, hunky chef Zack – who is portrayed by James Farrer – fell into bed with Sam after being rejected by girlfriend Nancy Carter.
Sam promised not to reveal their night of passion while Zack decided to keep it a secret from Nancy, not wanting to hurt her.
But a photo blunder revealed a snap of Sam wearing Zack’s hoody, while Zack stood topless looking sheepish.
In upcoming scenes, Sam sees Zack feeling sorry for himself over Nancy so offers some words of encouragement.
They later flirt in the bar but are interrupted by an unexpected caller.
Does Sam have an ulterior motive behind her flirty behaviour?
It comes after Sam revealed she was behind her own shooting – and is planning to destroy her brother Phil’s empire.
Last week, she was dramatically shot in the family’s war against gangster Jonah.
Sam herself was revealed to be the mastermind of the plot against her brother Phil’s businesses.
After an epic face-off before the launch night of Peggy’s, thugs entered the building and threatened Kat Slater and Sharon Watts.
The women faced off against the men after assuming they were sent by Jonah to intimidate them.
But as Kat refused to back down and rowed with the hired thugs – one of them pulled a gun and decided to shoot her.
Meeting up with the thugs, she handed over payment for their services.
“You weren’t meant to shoot me,” she said as she handed over the cash.
But as the men asked if they were done, Sam told them: “Oh no, I’m just getting started.”
Shirley later worked out what Sam had been up to and blackmailed her into cutting her into her scam.
