Pregnant Sonia Fowler makes huge mistake after shock death in EastEnders
PREGNANT Sonia Fowler is about to make a huge mistake after the latest shock death in EastEnders.
The nurse was looking forward to having a baby with her partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman).
Reiss was facing huge financial difficulties to care for his comatose wife Debbie, the extent of which he kept from Sonia.
After trying to scam Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), he resorted to killing her by smothering her with a pillow earlier this week.
However, things are set to get far more complicated for the pair after the police arrive to tell him that the post-mortem is complete.
They will inform him that he can visit her if he wishes whilst they wait for the results.
Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) wants to support her man and she soon accompanies him to visit his dead wife.
But things get complicated when they happen to bump into Debbie’s parents – Brenda and Hugh – as they leave the premises.
Brenda starts to press her son-in-law in a tense conversation as she looks for answers over the death of her daughter.
A naive Sonia is left absolutely stunned when Reiss introduces her as his landlady after she offers the pair her condolences.
He will conceal the truth of their relationship as they don’t know who she is, whilst Sonia saves face by going along with it.
Back on the Square, Reiss manages to speak to Sonia and explain his actions.
But Brenda will complicate matters when she catches the pair sharing a kiss.
Reiss is forced to come clean about the new woman in his life, before more suspicions are raised over Sharon’s conversation with Teddy (Larry Olubamiwo), which they overhear.
They will be left horrified by what they discover and all of Walford has a field day discussing their situation.
After a confrontation in the Queen Vic, Sonia will be left struggling as Reiss’ mood becomes low.
