EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy drops biggest hint yet that Sonia will be killed off on 40th anniversary
EASTENDERS fans are convinced Natalie Cassidy has dropped a hint that Sonia Fowler will be killed off this week.
The actress - who plays nurse Sonia in the BBC soap - quit the soap recently with her coming soon and now fans are convinced Sonia dies in the 40th anniversary stunt.
Viewers watching last night saw heavily pregnant Sonia in the Queen Vic when her killer boyfriend Reiss accidentally crashed into it, setting off a huge gas explosion that left the building in ruins.
In a clip from The One Show, presenter Gaby Roslin asked her about leaving the show.
Natalie told her: "I'm gonna miss everybody and I love it, I love it here but it is what it is.
“But yeah... see what happens."

Fans are convinced her comments mean Sonia is not long for this world and flocked to comment under the vido.
One wrote: "I think she might die."
A second said: "Natalie's answer has me worried that this is the end for Sonia.”
Another added: "Sonia dies but baby survives."
Natalie recently revealed that she had no say in how Sonia would say goodbye - 32 years after arriving in Walford.
Natalie said: "It is never ever your choice - you never know how you are gonna go.
"You can make your own choice to go but its down to them [the producers] what they do."
Speaking on her podcast with guest, co-star Patsy Palmer, Patsy told her: "You don't know what they might do with you!"
Bianca star Patsy then admitted that it was always a risk to opt to leave around the time of a huge anniversary.
"Yeah, the timing is not great,” Natalie added.
