SONIA Fowler’s EastEnders exit has been revealed in today’s episode – and she’s going to be world’s away from Walford.
The nurse – who is played by actress Natalie Cassidy in the BBC One – was given a shock this week when her long absent father Terry Cant arrived to reunite with her.

He had seen the press coverage about her ordeal and decided to reach out.
However in today’s episode, Terry revealed he lives in Bali and was only back for a week.
But that later changed when he received a call asking him to return early for work, leaving Sonia furious he was abandoning her again.
“I was an idiot for leaving it too long,” he told her.
“Me, you and the grandkids. I want to spend the next 48 hours hitting all the hotspots of Walford. Should take about five minutes. Then we’ll go up west.”
He added as Sonia questioned why he was only back for 48 hours now: “I got a call, work beckons.
“I have to get back to Bali. I’ve got to keep the cash rolling in. That boat won’t pay for itself you know.”
“I guess you’ll be in touch, work permitting,” Sonia hit back, raging.
“One call and you’re off. I think you should go. Found and abandoned in one day, must be a record.”
But Terry told her: “Sonia, I am not abandoning you.
“Quite the opposite. Look, you’re sick of people talking behind their hands and giving you the side eye so come back to Bali with me.
“Nobody knows you there. Bex and the baby too. It’s a great opportunity for us to really get to know each other.
