Reception
Eleven Magazine opined that Sam caused "quite a bit of chaos in the sleepy town of Summer Bay". Scott Ellis of the Sun-Herald said Sam was like a "murderous psycho". Carolyn Stewart writing for TV Week said that following Sam's "erractic behaviour" and murder of Johnny, that it "was only a matter of time before karma caught up with her" and she died. While Inside Soap said that Sam's "cock-up" was not expecting that Morag would uncover the truth behind her death. They also opined that Sam should not have killed herself, because "revenge doesn't taste quite so sweet if you're not around to savour it." Critics writing for the Daily Record have branded Sam as a "moralising physiotherapist" and a "meddling physiotherapist". A fellow disappointed critic bemoaned Sam's murder technique because killing Johnny with the cricket bat would have been "far more impressive".
