It has been confirmed that Natalie Cassidy will soon leave her role of Sonia Fowler in EastEnders after 32 years.
On-screen at the moment, pregnant Sonia has just returned home from prison and has no idea of just what her partner Reiss is truly capable of.
With Sonia soon to depart from Walford, here are five huge theories on how she may exit the soap.
1. Martin will die
One popular theory is that Martin Fowler will die and this will prompt Sonia to leave Walford for a fresh start.
With the soap’s 40th anniversary coming up, fans are fearing for Martin’s life. With Martin’s family being mentioned recently, and with the character celebrating a premature 40th birthday himself last year, fans are worried this has all been foreshadowing his upcoming death.
2. She’ll be killed
A fan on Reddit suggested: “I’m sad. Guessing she’s getting murdered. If so I don’t know why they’ve announced this.”
Another fan also said: “She starts to suspect something is wrong with Reiss, follows him to where she finds Bianca, and as she tries to help Bianca escape Reiss catches her and knocks her unconscious.”
3. She’ll kill Reiss
But, what if Sonia doesn’t get killed by Reiss? What is she kills him?
Could she finally realise what really happened to Debbie, and also find out Reiss’ sinister treatment of Bianca and decide to fight back against her partner?
A viewer on social media shared: “Is Sonia gonna be killed off or is she gonna kill Reiss and go to prison for it?”
4. Leave with baby and Bianca
One slightly more optimistic EastEnders theory is that Sonia gives birth to her baby and manages to leave Reiss. Bianca will be found and will then leave Walford with her sister and her newborn.
Someone online predicted: “As much as Sonia character is annoying, this is pretty sad. Natalie Cassidy is a really good actress and plays the part well. I wonder how she might leave? I hope she finds about Reiss and the one to expose him saves Bianca. Both sisters decide to leave with the baby (a girl called Dorothy born on 40th anniversary with Mo helping delivering the baby, a nod to the fact she deliver Bex) to go to live with Carol.
“I’m hoping Carol and David make cameo as a couple who just got back together to help. Sonia, Bianca and the baby leave Walford a happy family unit, and all of them decide go to visit Bex.”
5. Die at childbirth
One final fan theory predicts that Sonia could die but this time nobody would be killing her. Instead, she’ll die during childbirth.
We know that Sonia’s coming up to the end of her pregnancy now, so her baby will be due really soon. But, could she die?
The fan wondered: “If they decide to kill her off will she die during childbirth or at the hands of Reiss?”
