Following the arrival of her beautiful baby girl Joanie Elizabeth Cassidy-Humphreys in August, EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy is enjoying her maternity leave away from the soap.
The Eastenders actress posted her new family portrait on Twitter with the caption: "@cameramarc and I introduce Joanie Elizabeth Cassidy-Humphreys... We are all so in love!"
However, EastEnders fans have been speculating how and when Sonia Fowler will make her much anticipated exit, as episodes are filmed months in advance, meaning Sonia is currently still on our screens.
Fans were even left confused about whether her character, Sonia Jackson, was pregnant or not as EastEnders bosses failed to conceal her bump during filming.
One fan tweeted: "OK, so EastEnders are just going to ignore the fact that Sonia's preggers and pretend she isn't?!"
With Sonia and Tina trying to make things work whilst caring for Tina’s mum Slyvie - upcoming scenes see Sonia being offered a new job away from the Square, with fresh starts on the horizon.
However, in true EastEnders style things don’t go to plan with Bex and Tina and things turn veeeeery awkward.
Will they leave together or does this mean the beginning of the end for the couple? Will Bex kick off at her mum for leaving her behind?
