Sonia Fowler's Dark Past
EastEnders fans were shocked to discover that Sonia Fowler, played by Natalie Cassidy, has a dark past involving prison. As her relationship with Reiss Colwell deepens, a revelation about her past threatens to shake their foundation. Let's dive into the details of Sonia's time behind bars and the events leading up to it.
A Tragic Love Story
Sonia's journey to prison began when she embarked on a relationship with Reiss Colwell. The couple, who had plans to start a family together, decided to undergo the IVF process after discovering that Reiss was sterile. Their bond grew stronger as Reiss moved in with Sonia, creating a sense of intimacy and closeness.
Unveiling the Secrets
However, both Sonia and Reiss had their fair share of secrets. During a recent episode of EastEnders, it was revealed that Sonia had a forgotten storyline involving her time in prison. This revelation left Reiss questioning everything he thought he knew about his partner, desperate to uncover the truth.
Accused of Murder
Sonia's prison stint stems from an accusation of murder. In 2007, amidst the funeral of her mother-in-law Pauline Fowler, Sonia found herself at the center of a scandal. Pauline's death, initially believed to be a result of a brain haemorrhage, was later revealed to be caused by a head injury. Sonia, due to her tumultuous relationship with Pauline, became the prime suspect.
A Family Feud
The roots of Sonia's conflict with Pauline can be traced back six years before her death. It was revealed that Sonia's daughter, Bex, was fathered by Pauline's son, Martin. The revelation led to tension between the Jacksons and the Fowlers, with Pauline demanding custody of Bex. Although she lost the custody battle, Pauline's desire to be part of her granddaughter's life continued to strain her relationship with Sonia.
The Plot Thickens
As time passed, a tragic car accident claimed the lives of Bex's adoptive parents. Martin and Sonia, who were by then married, decided to track down their daughter. This led to another confrontation with Pauline, who attempted to manipulate the situation by misleading Bex's adoptive grandmother. However, the plot failed and Martin and Sonia were granted custody of Bex.
A Shocking Revelation
Despite Sonia's ongoing feud with Pauline, she was not responsible for her mother-in-law's death. The true culprit was revealed to be Pauline's own husband, Joe Macer. In a fit of rage during an argument, Joe struck Pauline with a frying pan, causing her death. Joe later confessed his crime to Dot Cotton, bringing the truth to light.
The Aftermath
Although Sonia was ultimately cleared of any involvement in Pauline's death, the accusation took a toll on her reputation. Gossip spread throughout Albert Square, leaving a stain on her character. As Sonia and Reiss confront this dark chapter from her past, the question remains: will their relationship survive this revelation?
