EastEnders viewers are bracing themselves for another potential death following Thursday night’s dramatic live episode. The 40th anniversary special saw the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion at The Queen Vic, which resulted in the death of villain Reiss Colwell, killed by a falling bathtub, and Martin Fowler in a shocking twist. However, fans are speculating that another death may be on the horizon ahead of a confirmed exit. Sonia Fowler gave birth to her baby daughter amidst the chaos of the collapsed pub during the live episode. However, things took a worrying turn when Bianca Jackson noticed her newborn niece had turned blue. As she and Lauren Branning pleaded with nurse Sonia to help her daughter, they realised Sonia was also unwell.

Suddenly, Sonia grabbed her daughter and managed to get her to breathe, much to everyone’s relief. As news of Sonia’s successful delivery spread, she and her daughter were taken to an ambulance. Despite this, some fans can’t shake the feeling that another tragedy is looming, especially given recent hints about Sonia’s departure and the medical scare following the birth. Viewers are concerned that while Sonia appears fine now, her health could take a turn for the worse, reports the Mirror. EastEnders viewers are on the edge of their seats, fearing for Sonia Fowler’s fate as speculation mounts that she could be the next character to face a tragic end. Fans have been voicing their concerns on social media, with one posting: “I worry that Sonia might also die next week.” Another chimed in with a tense: “Omg is Sonia or the baby gonna die? ? ?” and yet another speculated: “Imagine if Sonia, the baby and Martin all die.” The theories didn’t stop there, as someone else expressed: “I actually thought Sonia was going to die.” The anxiety comes after Sonia’s ex and close friend Martin Fowler met a heartbreaking demise following the catastrophic pub collapse. After being pinned down by a metal beam, Martin’s condition deteriorated rapidly, leaving viewers and Stacey Slater, played by Lacey Turner, in shock. Despite being administered morphine and Stacey’s promises to stay by his side, Martin succumbed to his injuries. In his final moments, he professed his love to Stacey and even proposed marriage once more. Paramedics had warned of the dangers of crush syndrome, but despite their efforts, Martin tragically passed away, leaving fans and characters alike reeling from the loss.
