EastEnders veteran Sonia Fowler has had a turbulent few months on the BBC soap opera, and it has been rumored that actress Natalie Cassidy is taking a sabbatical from the series. This might mean that Sonia Fowler will be saying farewell to Albert Square.
Since her 1993 debut, Sonia has grown to be one of Walford’s most beloved and enduring characters. She has, in fact, played a key role in several of the most memorable storylines in the show.
As fans have witnessed, Sonia is currently entangled in an especially turbulent plot, having fallen pregnant with Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) kid.
Reiss obtained the pregnancy through embezzlement of money from his unconscious spouse, Debbie. But last week, when his financial problems got worse, Reiss made a startling decision.
Fans were horrified when, in a terrifying turn of events, Reiss choked Debbie after Sonia paid her a visit. According to the Daily Star, the drama reaches a new level this week as Debbie’s grieving parents show up looking for information about their daughter.
This month, word leaked out about Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia, leaving EastEnders to take advantage of a thrilling chance with Channel 4.
In a post, Walford East revealed the details: “Sonia Fowler will be temporarily leaving the square as Natalie Cassidy will be taking a brief break from the soap opera to focus on another project over on Channel 4. Could that signify Sonia and Reiss’ demise? “.
Following the trail of clues, fans are preparing for Sonia to make a dramatic (and, based on the evidence, gloomy) leave from Walford. Online viewers are speculating that Sonia would end up behind bars and perhaps having to give birth in a jail.
A fan made the following prediction on social media: “Sonia, played by Natalia Cassidy, is taking a sabbatical. Here’s how I imagine she’ll go: 1) in prison for murder: Reiss might have set her up for Debbie’s death, which would have led to her possibly giving birth while incarcerated.” “Okay, now I’m worried that Sonia’s going to have a prison baby,” wrote a worried viewer in a comment.
Another person said, “So she’s getting sent down.” One more speculated, “Oh, Sonia is definitely going to prison for killing Debbie.”
