Pauline responds with ire, threatening to cut her son from her life. Sonia tries to build bridges with Pauline but an argument ends with Sonia slapping Pauline. When Pauline is found dead later that day, Sonia fears that she caused her death. She discovers that Rebecca witnessed the slap and tries to silence her daughter, but Rebecca tells Dot at Pauline's funeral. Appalled, Martin refuses Sonia access to Rebecca.

Janine lies to Mick that she is having complications with her pregnancy after a fall at the Tube Station in order to push him away from Linda, but Sonia encourages Janine to be honest with Mick, causing Janine to threaten her. Out of concern for Janine, Sonia calls her former brother-in-law (and Janine’s brother) Ricky back to Walford. </p><p>In December 2022, Sonia receives a phone call from Charlie with the news that Dot has died. As Charlie is ill, Sonia arranges Dot's funeral with the support of local residents and she contacts some of Dot's old friends who return to pay their respects at the funeral.

Ironically Rocky overhears Reiss talking about his wife and also forces Reiss to admit this to Sonia.

He then asks Sonia to have his child via IVF, and she agrees. Despite initial struggles to conceive, Sonia becomes pregnant but later discovers she has suffered a <a href="/wiki/Blighted_ovum" title="Blighted ovum">blighted ovum</a>. Sonia learns Reiss has been using Debbie's money to fund their IVF treatment. Against her sister Bianca's wishes, Sonia does not break up with Reiss, and they agree to continue using Debbie's money since Reiss has legal control of her finances. In July 2024, Sonia finds out she is pregnant again, but her joy is short-lived when Reiss reveals they are penniless due to Debbie's care expenses, but Debbie later dies.

Sonia clashes with her family and friends when they try to warn her about Reiss, and she decides to sell Dot's house, so that she and Reiss can leave Walford, but changes her mind. Sonia discovers that Reiss had tried to fleece Sharon and Phil with an investment scam, and does not have money to repay them. During their engagement party, Sonia and Reiss are arrested for Debbie's murder. Sonia is charged with Debbie's murder and remanded in custody.

If this seems like the most inopportune time to turn Sonia into a lesbian, well, the show's writers did it anyway [...] Sonia's sudden lesbian affair was met with disapproval from all sides, and nobody — the fans, characters or even the actors — was particularly supportive of her relationship. As a result, perhaps, the writers wrote what was expected of them [...] there was hardly room in the script for any affection or sympathy at all; instead, their relationship was written around its impact on Martin and the other Albert Square residents. The reaction of Rebecca's guardian, Margaret, was especially hurtful. When the [lesbian] relationship became public, she immediately sought to award sole custody of Rebecca to Martin, citing Sonia's sexual orientation as the reason she would be an unfit mother. This vitriolic response to Sonia and Naomi's relationship could have been a pivotal moment had the program's producers used the opportunity to prove either the quality of their relationship or to reinforce Sonia's parenting abilities. Unfortunately, they did neither of these things. Instead, Margaret's reaction was surprisingly representative of the public response to their relationship. Fans of the show were upset that anyone (let alone a lesbian) had come between Sonia and Martin. Naomi came off looking especially predatory — a common trait in media representations of gay and lesbian characters — by seducing a formerly heterosexual woman and convincing her to leave her family [...] not too surprisingly, Naomi and Sonia broke up. Afterward, Naomi faded into the background and Sonia ended up back with Martin, seeming to forget entirely about the same-sex attractions she once had [...] It was a sad but not unexpected ending to a rare chance for the BBC to acknowledge lesbian sexuality in its programming and for viewers to witness a positive lesbian relationship that didn't ruin anybody's life [...] Sonia or Naomi [...] had the potential to develop a loving depiction of lesbian sexuality but were failed by the show's writers and, arguably, the BBC's institutionalized homophobia.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>In 2020, Sara Wallis and Ian Hyland from The <i><a href="/wiki/Daily_Mirror" title="Daily Mirror">Daily Mirror</a></i> placed Sonia 11th on their ranked list of the best <i>EastEnders</i> characters of all time.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sonia_Fowler&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/List_of_EastEnders_characters_introduced_in_1993" title="List of EastEnders characters introduced in 1993">List of <i>EastEnders</i> characters (1993)</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_media_portrayals_of_bisexuality" class="mw-redirect" title="List of media portrayals of bisexuality">List of media portrayals of bisexuality</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_LGBT_characters_in_television_and_radio" class="mw-redirect" title="List of LGBT characters in television and radio">List of LGBT characters in television and radio</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_LGBT_characters_in_soap_operas" title="List of LGBT characters in soap operas">List of LGBT characters in soap operas</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_fictional_nurses" title="List of fictional nurses">List of fictional nurses</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_soap_opera_villains" title="List of soap opera villains">List of soap opera villains</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sonia_Fowler&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">"<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/backstage/crew/interviews/interview_content/interview_helpdesk.shtml">Helpdesk</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230802011008/https://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/redirects/general.shtml">Archived</a> 2 August 2023 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a>", <i>BBC'.'
