EastEnders spoilers follow.
EastEnders' Sonia Fowler is one of the soap's most meme-d characters, with her iconic trumpet and, more recently, her slapping down Pauline just to name a few (and that's before you get into Natalie Cassidy and her brilliantly self-aware Instagram).
We reckon it's about time that Sonia gets a new love interest, and the people running the show do too, as she's about to get one. Huzzah!
In scenes set to air soon, Sonia goes with Tiffany Butcher-Baker to the gym to let off some steam boxercising, and Tiffany notices that a guy named Ethan has his eye on Sonia. Soon enough, Sonia books herself a date with the guy.

Although Sonia and Tiff are super excited, Rocky has his reservations. Is that because he knows something about Ethan, or is Rocky just trying to stir things up again? Maybe it's both.
Sonia has had many relationships on EastEnders over the years. There's been Martin, Jamie Mitchell, fellow nurse Naomi, Tina Carter and teacher Gethin, who was also having a thing with Sonia's daughter Bex.
Could Sonia have something special with this Ethan, or will it be over before it's really begun? We'd like to see her find happiness with someone, but her track record isn't the greatest...
