Fans will continue to celebrate EastEnders’ 40th anniversary with the live episode tomorrow, but there is a significant Sonia spoiler related to the upcoming public vote.
The results of the live episode’s broadcast of the final round of voting are now available for viewers to take part in on Thursday, February 20 at 7:30 pm. Fans can choose the name of Sonia’s baby daughter, either Julia or Toni, to honor Julia Smith and Tony Holland, the two EastEnders creators, in two ways: the first is to choose Ravi or Jack and the other is to choose Jack. However, many fans have taken the baby name vote as a hint about Sonia’s fate.
Sonia was last seen trapped in the Vic, in labour, with Bianca and Lauren by her side. Her killer fiance, Reiss, found them, but Sonia refused to let him near her, and shouted: “You are a freak, Reiss. You are a murdering freak. You’re not going to be any part of my daughter’s life”. Bianca waved a rolling pin at him to push him away, and he fell backwards. Reiss initially believed he was safe when a sizable bathtub slammed into him, crushing him as a result. After inspecting his smashed body, Bianca confirmed that he was dead.
Sonia told Bianca that she wanted to name her daughter either Julia or Toni (with an i) while she was struggling with labor. What should Sonia call her baby, the BBC asked after the episode. fans saw the link to vote as evidence that Sonia may still be alive enough to name her child.
“Sonia survives long enough to give her baby a name,” she says. guessed one fan, unaware that Natalie Cassidy, who plays her, has already confirmed she is leaving the soap. Sonia may not make it for very long. “Sonia is fine and has the baby”! added another. One viewer made the precise prediction that “I believe Sonia and Bianca will be with the baby and that they will both leave and rent Dot’s house to Lauren to keep it in the faammmlee”
Some fans have pointed out that naming the baby Toni does have its problems, as Bianca’s ex and Whitney’s abuser was called Tony. “She can’t call her Toni, as if she would name her child after her sister’s creepy ex who abused her niece”, wrote one viewer. Another concurred, “Owner gets the sentiment, but it’s a little shite for Whitney if Sonia turns out giving her baby the same name as her abuser.”
One viewer saw the funny side of the baby naming vote, however. “Cannot believe they’re doing a vote on Sonia’s baby name. My write in vote for Baby McBabyface doesn’t seem to have been accepted”.
