EastEnders icon Natalie Cassidy quits role of Sonia after 32 years

EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy has announced she’s stepped down from her role of Sonia Jackson after 32 years.

The beloved soap legend has been at the centre of a dramatic storyline involving her current partner Reiss Colwell (played by Jonny Freeman) who killed his ex-wife.

    Sonia served some time in prison awaiting trial while pregnant with his baby for the crime, but is now thankfully out and determined to work out why her sister, Bianca (Patsy Palmer) wrongly confessed to Debbie’s murder.

    With the explosive conclusion no doubt to follow as Sonia gets close to the truth about her partner, fans will be sad to hear Cassidy is stepping away from the iconic role.

    In a statement shared by The Sun, Cassidy said: “I feel extremely sad to be writing this, but also very excited. After another 11 solid years back on The Square, I have decided it’s time to move on to pastures new. EastEnders is in my bones so I will never forget where I started my career and I will continue to love the show.

    “Thank you to Chris Clenshaw for the opportunity to be such a big part of the 40th anniversary – it’s an honour. See ya, Sonia, going but never forgotten.”
