I've never liked Sonia but I was cheering for her tonight. The Carters have taken no responsibility for Sylvie at all, and Shirley's comment about Sonia 'pretending to be a lesbian' was nasty and borderline-homophobic. I'm glad Sonia handed Shirley her arse on a plate.
She was magnificent tonight and I'm pleased the writers are doing a cracking job with Sonia. I will miss her when Sonia temporarily leaves EastEnders, I hope they continue with the excellent writing for her when she comes back.
It was Natalie Cassidy's best moment since she returned to EE a couple of years ago.
She really told the truth about the Carters. The way they've made Sylvie the responsibility of Sonia makes them seem like selfish monsters who only care about their immediate interests. The indifference to Sylvie by the Vic Carters has been shocking.

I don't dislike Sonia, I'm mostly indifferent - the only times I've really liked and rooted for her were when Jamie died (she made me cry - merry bleeding Christmas to you too Sonia) and during her feud with Pauline. Then she came back and I was indifferent again. But tonight she was cracking!
"I hope she bites ya " is right up there with "You, bring up Chloe? You couldn't bring up phlegm" as one of my all-time favourite Sonia moments

This.
Felt this literally could've been Sonia's last scene [other than a last-minute reconciliation between her and Bex] too actually.
