EastEnders fans have been left fearing for Sonia Fowler (played by Natalie Cassidy) after she made a huge mistake on Wednesday evening (February 5).

Last month, pregnant Sonia was released from prison after being found not guilty for killing Debbie Colwell (Jenny Meier), a crime her partner Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) secretly committed.

In a bid for Sonia's freedom, her sister Bianca (Patsy Palmer) agreed to make a confession tape taking responsibility for the murder. Since November, Bianca has been held captive in a lock-up at the hands of Reiss after she knew he was the one who smothered his own wife.

Upon returning to Walford, Sonia has been obsessed with seeing Bianca's confession as she refuses to believe her own sister is capable of such a chilling crime.

In the latest trip to the Square, copper Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) managed to get a copy of the tape and handed it over to his niece Sonia. They agreed she would keep it a secret, and away from Reiss.

But instead of watching the footage in private, and away from her killer fiancé, she played in on her laptop while sitting in her own living room. It was no surprise she was quickly interrupted by Reiss as he looked on with fury, in Sonia now in danger?

Taking to X, one person wrote: "So Sonia gets hold of Bianca's confession and says she doesn't want [Reiss] to know so she decides to watch it in their living room with him there. #Eastenders."

A second stated: "#EastEnders I knew it. Knew Sonia would be stupid and watch the video with Reiss still in the house. Of course he was gonna catch her."

A third chimed in: "Ok but who wrote that scene. Sonia WHY would you watch that with [Reiss] inches away YOU IDIOTTTT #eastenders."

"Sonia is just dumb, why do that! #EastEnders", exclaimed one frustrated fan while another added: "Not Sonia trying to watch the video with the door open and Reiss literally in the room next door #eastenders."
