Following the episode, the BBC posted the question “What should Sonia name her baby?” with a link to vote, and fans took that as a sign that Sonia may be alive long enough to name her child.
The first is to decide whether Denise should choose Ravi or Jack, and the second lets fans choose the name of Sonia’s baby daughter - either Julia or Toni, to commemorate the two creators of EastEnders, Julia Smith and Tony Holland.
“I think Sonia and Bianca will be with the baby and when the Vic is rebuilt they will both leave and rent Dot’s house to Lauren to keep it in the faammmlee,” was the detailed prediction of one viewer.
However, many fans have taken the baby name vote as a hint about Sonia’s fate.
Another agreed: “Obviously get the sentiment but it’s a bit shite for Whitney if Sonia ends up making her baby have the same name her abuser had.”.
