According to Metro.co.uk, Kim, 49, has been spotted at Elstree studios filming her return scenes, which will air later this year.<\/p>\n

The actress has played Phil Mitchel's (Steve McFadden) younger sister on and off since 2002.<\/p>\n

It comes after Kim was spotted out and about in London and posed for a picture with a black cab driver.<\/p>\n

The soap star was seen wearing a white top and her blonde hair falling around her shoulders, while her cabbie beamed for the camera. <\/p>\n

"Is that Sam Butcher? No it\u2019s Kim Medcalfe, sure knows how to get around London in a hurry. what a lovely lady, Thank you the pleasure was all mine," he captioned the photo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The snap was shared on an\u00a0fan forum site, with Sam fanatics overjoyed to see Kim after she departed the soap. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019d picked her up in a taxi I\u2019d have locked the doors and driven her straight back into Elstree,\u201d one quipped. <\/p>\n

While another said they were struggling to watch the BBC soap after Sam\u2019s exit. <\/p>\n

The fan wrote: "My Samxiety is really bad at the moment. I'm not enjoying the show as much without her on it. <\/p>\n

"Kim makes the character so watchable and multi-layered and if she comes back it would be the perfect antidote to Karen's axing", addressing beloved character Karen Taylor\u2019s (Loraine Stanley )upcoming exit from the show.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, EastEnders bosses have confirmed Sam\u2019s character hasn't been written out for good, and will be back at some point in the future.<\/p>\n
