Samantha Who?:

Samantha's neighbour and childhood friend, Dena was shunned by an emerging Bad Sam when they were both children and Sam's evil traits began to dominate. Samantha's amnesia offers Dena the perfect opportunity to reclaim her old friend. Dena is delighted to be welcomed back into Samantha's life, as it adds some spice to her own existence, which is fairly dull and pretty much revolves around her two Newfoundland dogs, Mr. Cellophane and Jean Valjean, named after two of her favourite musicals.

Dena's other hobbies include scrap-booking and maintaining her dog-based blog 'I've Got the New-fever.'

In addition to her frighteningly encyclopaedic memory of Samantha's past, Dena provides Samantha with a refreshingly upbeat contrast to her other friends and family and serves as the 'good angel' to Andrea's 'devil'.
