In a recent interview with ED! and other media, Sam was asked if he wanted to see Adam and Sarah stay together.
Sam said: “I don’t know about that. I think one thing I’ve enjoyed working with Rebecca so much, it’s been a bit different really.
“I think sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. You know you pick up a script, I feel like I’m doing the same scene that I did 12 months ago. Then you think, is it me? Is it the character? Is it the other actors?”

He continued: “It’s interesting, I speak to a lot of the guys here who have been working here for 15/20 years, like David Neilson and Jimmi Harkishin. I’m like ‘do you ever have these moments where you think I can do with maybe hanging this character’s suit on the coat hanger for a little bit’ and they’re like ‘yeah it happens.’
“As an actor you’re used to working on different characters. I’m at the stage now, five years down the line, I’ve not played another character for over six years of my career now. It’s mad.
“I feel like at the minute, coming through this really big storyline I definitely feel like I need to recalibrate a bit and find out what this character’s all about.”

Sam added: “I’ll be honest with you, I think this storyline, the confusion Adam is feeling, I’m kind of feeling that same confusion myself as an actor in terms of ‘where is this character? Who is this character I’m playing now?’ It’s very different from what I thought it was six to 12 months ago.
“So whether it’s a moment in time and things will start to fall back into place and be much more relaxed, that might well be the case. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.”
