Nigel Bates became Sam Mitchell’s latest target in EastEnders tonight (Tuesday, December 9) as his dementia symptoms took hold and he mistook her for his stepdaughter, Clare. Fearing she’s got cancer, Sam is desperate to build up a fund for Ricky Jr. – and Nigel seems like a means to the end.
This came as Jack confronted Sam over her cancer claims, and demanded that she see a doctor. Although Sam was hesitant, the offer of money from Denise and Jack gave her pause for thought. However, realising that they were stringing her along, Sam sensed a Plan B when Nigel offered up the cash himself.
Will Sam take Nigel’s money?
Sam spotted an opportunity
As the episode continued today, Jack was dismayed to hear that Sam hadn’t seen a doctor over her cancer fears. After being collared by Phil – who snatched his cash back – Sam was stranded on Albert Square, and forced to accept Jack’s offer of a family dinner.
