The soap star revealed that she will be taking a break from Albert Square to film a new project for Channel 4.

Sonia is currently involved in a big storyline in EastEnders, and viewers have speculated that she may be jailed during Natalie’s absence.

The nurse is pregnant with Reiss Colwell’s baby, and only recently discovered that he is already married.

However, his wife is comatose, and she decided to stay with him and help care for Debbie.

Reiss also broke down and admitted that he is in a lot of debt because of his wife’s medical bills.

Kind-hearted Sonia decided to sell the long-time Branning family home to help pay for their future.

Little did she know, evil Reiss opted to smother Debbie to death so he could get the money from her life insurance.

Fans think Sonia will be framed for the murder as she visited Debbie in the hospital just before the comatose woman was killed.

She was seen adjusting Debbie’s pillow to make her more comfortable, which means her fingerprints could be seen as evidence.

Meanwhile, her cunning partner used gloves while handling the murder weapon, so he is likely to get off scot-free.

EastEnders viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the potential upcoming plot twist.

One person wrote: “With Natalia Cassidy (Sonia) taking a break, here’s how I think she’ll go: 1) in prison for murder: Reiss could set her up for Debbie’s demise, thus resulting in her potentially giving birth in jail.”

A second agreed: “Oh, Sonia is definitely going to prison for killing Debbie.”

A third fretted: “Okay, now I’m worried that Sonia’s going to have a prison baby.”
