Isn’t she just fabulous and so underrated?
Janine actually had a point about her being the next Dot (or Pat) type of character, someone who doesn’t really have a storyline of their own but is a big part in everyone else’s. I love her.

I support a loyal legendary NHS nurse called Sonia Fowler 🤩
Talking of which, EE have missed a really good opportunity for Sonia to be a supporting role in Lola’s brain tumour.
She hasn't really had a huge story of her own since she came back (nearly 9 years ago!) but in the early/mid 2000s she was a leading character for a number of years - while I like her flitting in and out of everybody else's dramas, I'd love to see her get her own chance to take centre stage again. She deserves it!
90% of women in EastEnders are great actresses in my opinion. Amazing.
The little mention of Dot tonight is obviously setting up the news of her death reaching the square soon but, like others have said, I hope it is also a sign of the direction they are taking the character in. Sonia has been a part of the show for over 20 years and has ties to many current residents. Natalie is clearly dedicated to the show and has shown herself a capable actress in the more dramatic parts as well as the lighter moments with making digs at Sharon/Shirley etc. I think that she will inherit Dot's house and evolve into the matriarch of the square role that has been absent since Pat died and Dot's presence decreased until her last appearance.
Next year marks Sonia’s 30th anniversary in EE !
30 years blimey!!! All the more reason why she deserves a special place on the show. Hopefully the new character that they're bringing in as her love interest will be good and I've got a hunch he will be!
I would really like to see the real Terry Cant, who could play him?
And part time unqualified midwife 😅😁
My favourite was her relationship with Pauline in 2005/2006 , I know many hate the way Pauline went out after she turned into a horrendous old bitter bitch from hell but I found it hilarious. Pauline kept slapping people, calling them stupid all the time. Pauline's suspicion and passive aggression and scheming against Sonia and protection of Martin after her Lesbian relationship was really funny on rewatch.
