How many people go from being straight for 21 years to suddenly have a same sex relationship with NO issues about sex?? That is absolutely ridiculous.

Now she wants Martin again, but what about girls? Is she not interested any more?

I hate the way soaps take sexuality with a pinch of salt, its unrealistic and offensive

I believe Sonia's meant to be straight. It's been implied that she only got together with Naomi because she was desperate to end her marriage. She even told Martin that if it hadn't been Naomi, it would have been someone else. I think Sonia was so desperate to get away from Martin, she made herself believe she loved Naomi. I doubt there was ever any real attraction on Sonia's part.

I think it was more of a desprete situation than Sexual Feelings, she had to get away from Pauline and she had started to hate Martin because of that, she became desprete for an escape route and Naomi was the only one who gave her freedom from Pauline.

And Sonia acted on this in the heat of the moment but once everything blew over Sonia realised she had no feelings what so ever for Naomi and that she did still love Martin.

So basicly we have Pauline to blame for the whole plot. No wonder Wendy's out the door

I think that you're right - Sonia wanted to escape Pauline, just as Lisa escaped her by leaving Mark for Phil. The storyline proved to be so unpopular, that the writers soon forgot all about Sonia and Naomi.

No she didn't. As already explained by the people who watch EE, she was desperate to get out of a bad situation. Martin had no interest in her life, Pauline was the mother in law from hell and she needed to get out of a bad situation. Naomi was the exact opposite of Martin and Sonia needed that. She didn't even think about the lesbian angle and if Naomi hadn't been gay, Sonia would still have shared a home with her as friends.

As Natalie Cassidy put it when Paul O'Grady asked her if Sonia had decided to be a lesbian for a week, things were so bad, that if Buster had made a play, Sonia would have gone with him!

So sonia had a fling with a women - she has to stay with a woman for ther rest of her life.???

She decided she prefered men afterall big deal.

For some reason it still hasn't sunk in that Sonia was a lesbian. I don't knwo why.

She was trapped and confused. And no offence, but why are you complaining about 9 months after the event?

I lot of people feel uncomfortable about lesbian relationships - even a lot people who will accept gay relationships with no problems seem to have problems when it women involved. And a lot of men just see lesbians as a sexual turn on for them.

If Sonia enjoyed sexual relations with Martin and what's her name, then she is in fact BISEXUAL.

Most people are bi imo anyway. It's very natural.

Lol, I wasnt here 9 months ago Just having a rant about the one storyline I hated from EE this year, I stand by my original post. You dont go from being straight to being gay/bi overnight and having no issues with it. Most of my friends had a real struggle coming out and comin to terms with being gay and feeling comfortable about sex. It was a major cock up on there part

I agree with everybody else, she was just confused about her feelings and wanted to get out of her marriage for a while and Naomi was the girl who she turned too. She did actually say she would have gone for somebody else if Naomi wasn't there. I agree, i thought the storyline was very badly handled though, and i was glad it was over and now Sonia wants to get back with Martin again. Martin and Sonia belong together.

Not necessarily, some people are just curious and then realise it's not for them. Sexuality isn't as black and white as you make out. Just because she slept with a woman, it doesn't mean she is bisexual.

She was so bored in her relationship with Martin that she would have played away with anybody. Naomi liked her and Sonia felt the atrraction. She experiemented and didn't like it - so really likes Martin.

Stupid EE, they only care about ratings and not stories that matter. ..

FA, HO and Emmerdale always keep a nice profile on different people. ..

(Well FA, the most b4 it finished lol)

When she dumped Martin she told him in no uncertain terms that he bored her, stifled her and that she loathed him.

She has only gone back to get her daughter.

The writing is very inconsistent

It is bizarre. However it is consistent with the character. Sonia after all married Martin despite him killing the love of her life and taking no responsibilty for getting her pregnant, therefore it's quite consistent for her to get together with someone despite them being a girl.

Sonia had a boob job done. It is a well know fact that enlargement of boobs somehow triggers the sapphic tendencies in women (and similarly for penile enlargements). The writers for eastenders were only bringing some science into the soap, but obviously it is too deep for our dumbed down viewers...duh...
