If Sam is an author backed character, then I have full faith in whatever I have stated wherever, because the way I am interpreting this show is exactly the way it is unfolding.
I support Sam's character 101% she is real, and thats who and what I relate to, Sam is not stereotypical...
I can't even say that if it was not the calibre of Kashmira's acting and just the layering of the character, could I still relate to Sam, damn right, its calibre of the portrayal, Kashmira just reinforces the execution of her direction because she is a powerhouse of talent
