Do you remember the iconic EastEnders storyline in 2005 where characters Zoe Slater and Sam Mitchell were caught up in Den Watts' murder? It was a gripping and intense plot that left fans on the edge of their seats. Well, get ready to feel some serious 00s nostalgia because former co-stars Michelle Ryan and Kim Medcalf recently reunited for a pre-Christmas catch-up, and it's giving us all the feels.
Michelle and Kim were both a part of one of the BBC soap's most memorable storylines as they played Zoe and Sam, respectively. In the storyline, Den's wife Chrissie Watts bludgeoned him to death in The Queen Vic after confronting him about his wrongdoings with Zoe and Sam. It was a shocking twist when Chrissie let Zoe believe she was the murderer, while she was the one who actually finished him off and let Sam take the fall for the crime.
But now, nearly 20 years after their final scenes together, Michelle and Kim look like they haven't aged a day. In a cute snap posted on Instagram, the two actresses posed together, looking as stunning as ever. Michelle shared the picture with her followers, revealing that it had been five years since they had seen each other. She wrote, "Kim and I on a pre-Christmas catch-up. We hadn't seen each other in five years, but it was like old times being in each other's company."
Kim recently reprised her role as Sam for two separate stints in 2022, after first appearing as the character between 2002 and 2005. The original Sam actress, Danniella Westbrook, also played the role on and off between 1990 and 2000, and briefly returned in 2009 and 2016. Michelle, on the other hand, hasn't been seen on Albert Square since 2005, but she recently hinted that she was open to returning as Kat Slater's daughter, Zoe.
After reuniting with her on-screen aunt Kasey Ainsworth (aka Little Mo), Michelle shared a throwback picture on Instagram, reflecting on her time on EastEnders. When a fan asked if she would ever consider coming back to the show, she replied, "Never say never!" She also added, "That's for the producers to decide," when another fan commented that her return would be "epic."
If you're a soap or TV fan, you know how exciting it is to see former co-stars reunite and reminisce about old times. We may not know what the future holds for these two talented actresses, but we can't help but hope for a possible return to Albert Square. Who knows, maybe we'll get to see more of the dynamic duo in the future. In the meantime, we'll be keeping up with all things soaps on our homepage.
