Speaking about what’s to come, he warned that there were some big scenes – but insisted he wasn’t going to be killed off.
He said: “Well, I don’t want to give too much away, but Samson has some really big stuff coming up. Don’t worry, as he’s definitely not being killed off! There are some good stories coming up for him, and I was very excited when I read the scripts.
“I like playing mean Samson, but I think his good side always shines through. Like with the baby storyline, he was worrying about Amelia being okay for Esther because Samson obviously lost his mum – and he didn’t want his kid to grow up without a mum.”
Speaking about his character’s past, he added: “So, he can get angry, but his intentions are always right in the end. At the end of the day, he was just a confused young teenager who didn’t really expect to be having a kid so soon.”
A source previously claimed that Sam had been left “devastated” by the news he was going to be “axed”.
“Sam had a meeting with bosses earlier this month where they broke the news. He has been left devastated. He’s grown up with his on-screen Dingle clan and they are all very protective of him,” an insider shared.
“As news of his axing swept through the building there were quite a lot of angry Dingles. The fact that they are planning on killing him off means there’ll be no way back for him either. He’s absolutely gutted.”
