Sam Owen is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Louis Tamone. He first appeared in 2004 and was part of the Owen family, a group of five new cast members introduced by producer Jo Hallows. Sam was written out in 2006, when producer Bryan Kirkwood ended the role, and the character was later killed off after starting a fire at The Dog in the Pond public house on 8 September. That blaze led to the deaths of five regular characters.
