The 48-year-old played Ronnie Mitchell on the ITV soap on and off from 2007 to 2017 and while her character was killed off alongside sister Roxy (Rita Simons) she admitted fans have been coming up with their own ideas for bringing them back.
She told the Metro newspaper's Sixty Seconds column: "There have been all these suggestions as to how they could get us back in.
"Did they really die – Billy was working in the morgue. I don’t know what plausible story they could come up with.
"It’s a bit like the 'Dallas' thing with Bobby Ewing and Dirty Den came back, so it’s always possible I suppose."
Samantha has been open since leaving the soap and insisted she would have loved to return one day if Ronnie and Roxy hasn't been killed off.
She added: "I would always have gone back. I loved Ronnie and Roxy. My relationship with Rita Simons, who played my sister was great, I felt so close to her.
"I still think some of my most exciting work was with her, Larry Lamb and Barbara Windsor."
The former soap star explained there is a close bond between everyone on set, which made it even toughter when the time came for her to leave.
She said: "After the shock subsided I really enjoyed doing new things, but I missed everyone so much. It’s a funny thing doing a soap.
"You have funerals and birthdays together and you hold each other’s children and somewhere in your brain they have become real to you and you have to re-learn when you leave that it wasn’t actually true."
