Natalie Cassidy to leave EastEnders, three decades after first appearance as Sonia Fowler

EastEnders executive producer Clenshaw said of Cassidy’s departure: “Over the last 31 years in EastEnders, Natalie has been involved in some of the show’s most iconic and explosive storylines.

“Her portrayal of Sonia has made her a firm fan favourite amongst the viewers.

“I won’t be revealing the [minute] details relating to her exit, but I can say that she will take a central role in the 40th anniversary storylines in a week of truly unmissable drama that will change the lives of those in Walford forever.

“I’d like to thank Natalie for her time at EastEnders, and I wish her all the best for the future.”

Sonia is well known for her poor trumpet playing, which angered her family and neighbours, during her early days on the soap.

Some of her biggest storylines include her being bullied by her friend Clare Bates (Gemma Bissix) after she fell in with the wrong crowd at school, and her teenage pregnancy.

The soap’s 40th anniversary will also see the return of Grant Mitchell (Ross Kemp) after a near 10-year absence.
