Pregnancy shock for Sonia Fowler in EastEnders
SONIA Fowler has been romantically involved with Reiss Colwell since his first appearance in late 2022.
But she gets a huge shock by realising she could be pregnant next week in EastEnders. How will he react?
Reiss Colwell was introduced to BBC One viewers for the first time ahead of Dot Cotton’s funeral and immediately hit it off with Sonia.
The beloved nurse portrayed by Natalie Cassidy gave romance a chance after many viewers begged soap bosses to give her love life a boost although they were suspicious of Reiss.
Viewers were proven right when it was revealed that Reiss (Jonny Freeman) was still married to his wife Debbie but there was a twist.
In May, 2023, Reiss’s secret was thrown into the spotlight for a shocked Sonia to see and, to explain himself, he brought her to his wife Debbie.
Devastated viewers of the London-based program learned that Reiss’ wife Debbie had suffered a stroke during their marriage and was left bed-ridden as a result, unable to speak or move.
Reiss has been taking care of Debbie alone at a hospice but he asks Sonia to take over next week after he’s called into a client crisis.
Sonia is upset and her pal Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) encourages her to tell Reiss the truth about her feelings towards Debbie.
But there’s an even bigger ordeal Sonia may have to take care of first.
Sonia is late on her period and worries to Whitney that she might be pregnant.
Reiss tries to set up a lunch date to apologise for his previous insensitivity around Sonia’s feeling towards Debbie.
