In 2002, Medcalf landed the role of Sam Mitchell, taking over from Danniella Westbrook. She filmed her first scenes with Barbara Windsor in Spain. Shortly after joining EastEnders she was involved in a car accident whilst in France. The accident left her with multiple broken bones, the worst being her leg which had to be pinned. She won the best newcomer award in 2002. Medcalf opted to leave Eastenders in 2005. Metcalf's final scenes were filmed in September 2005 and screened in November of that year. Her character escaped imprisonment as an accessory to the murder of Den Watts and left to join her brother, Grant Mitchell, in Brazil. Her final scenes aired on 17 November 2005.
