EastEnders icon makes long-awaited return to Walford – but faces uncomfortable truths

EastEnders icon Sonia Fowler is set to make a long-awaited return to Walford next week. Sonia, played by Natalie Cassidy, was acquitted for murder in dramatic EastEnders scenes last week. The pregnant nurse was moments away from pleading guilty to her fiancé Reiss Colwell's wife Debbie's murder when Reiss stormed the courtroom and unveiled new evidence which exonerated Sonia.
Sonia was found not guilty after Reiss showed up to court and produced a 'confession' video. Sonia's sister Bianca Jackson, who is currently being held captive by Reiss, hatched a plan to confess to Debbie's murder in order to free both herself and her pregnant sister.
Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer, has been held hostage by Reiss since November after she discovered he was the real murderer. The confession tape may have secured Sonia's freedom but, as she returns to Albert Square, Walford in scenes next week she'll be confronted by some uncomfortable truths.
Sonia is seen struggling to get her head around her sister's confession rape and refuses to believe Bianca is capable of murder – but Reiss continues to shut down her questions. However, tensions ramp up with Sonia is confronted by her gossiping Walford neighbours as she defiantly defends her sister. Sonia reaches out to the CPS in order to try and get a copy of the confession tape, leaving Reiss rattled.
