EastEnders fans predicted Bex Fowler will return to return to Walford after watching tonight’s episode, when Sonia dropped an interesting hint.
Bex, played by Jasmine Armfield, left the soap earlier this year to go travelling, leaving behind the trauma after a near-fatal drug overdose.
She hasn’t been mentioned since, but Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) started scouring her travel blog on this evening’s trip to the east end, hinting a return could be on the cards.
It all kicked off when Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith) spotted Sonia in the shop and started chatting to her about a recent phone call she had with Bex.
She said: “She called me earlier.”
Looking stricken, Sonia asked whether Bex had mentioned her, enquiring after her health.

Sonia replied: “Well how is she? Did she mention me at all?”
When Tiffany wondered why Bex hadn’t contacted Sonia herself, she added: “She’s probably too busy to be worrying about her old mum, eh.”
Tiffany reassured her, saying: “It sounds like she’s having a good time anyway. Apparently she went paragliding yesterday. Not a care in the world!”
Tiffany revealed Bex had reached out to her, filling her in on her travels
Meanwhile, on Twitter, viewers were convinced the surprise mention signalled a return for Bex, unexpectedly cutting her travels short and heading back to the UK.
One said: “Bex mention. Bit random or will it amount to anything?”
Another added: “I completely forgot about Bex…”
Later, Sonia sifted through Bex’s travel blog, looking for information
While a third chimed: “The Bex mention we love to see it!”
Later, home alone, Sonia opened up her laptop and flipped through Bex’s photos from her tour around the globe.
Is Sonia hinting Bex could return to Albert Square in the coming weeks?
EastEnders airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One.
