EastEnders horror as Sonia Fowler’s dad Terry Cant shows his true colours in violent attack
SONIA Fowler’s dream new life abroad is set to be a nightmare after dad Terry Cant revealed his true colours in today’s EastEnders.
The nurse – who is played by actress Natalie Cassidy in the BBC One – was given a shock this week when her long absent father Terry Cant arrived to reunite with her.
He asked her to move to Bali with him to start a new life, but after Sonia agreed, her sister Bianca smelled a rat.
As Bianca sat in the playground trying to call her mum Carol to help expose Terry and save Sonia, Terry appeared to mock her.
“I take it she’s given you the good news but the budget only stretched to flesh and blood,” he said.
“I’ll tell you what – I’ll get her to send you some postcards. You know, it’s easy to forget, isn’t it? Out of sight, out of mind.”
Bianca hit back: “You might think you can pull the wool over her eyes, but you don’t fool me.”
Terry told her: “It doesn’t matter, does it? She’s made her choice.”
And as Bianca showed him a call from mum Carol, Terry turned even nastier, saying: “Oh that’s the plan, is it? Get the old battleaxe involved.”
“Bother you does it?” said Bianca. “Someone who knows the real you, who can see your true colours?”
“That woman, she doesn’t even see her own lot,” said Terry back.
“Sonia told me about it all, what was it? Four kids by four different dads and I’m the bad guy?
“Although it appears that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it? Sonia said you’ve got four of your own, but they’ve all left home and I don’t blame them.”
Bianca flew at Terry but he grabbed her arm and sneered at her: “Listen, you always were a gobby little bitch.
“Always crying until you got your own way. A woman likes you needs a good slap just to keep them in check.
“Now listen, I’ve waited a long, long time for this and I’m not going to let you ruin it, OK?
