What she didn’t realise is Reiss had smothered his comatose wife to make money off Debbie’s life insurance.

Sadly, because Sonia had kindly come to fluff up Debbie’s pillow shortly before her death and left fingerprints behind, she got framed for the murder.

Initially Walford residents did suspect that Sonia had done the deed to make sure Reiss was in a position to marry her.

However, upcoming episodes are going to see them change their mind and become supportive.

The tide began to turn when Kim Fox publicly backed Sonia, insisting on her innocence.

Alfie Moon then went on to make a box of T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan ‘Save Our Sonia’.

Now the Mitchells will throw their weight behind the nurse as well, creating a fundraiser in support of her.

Sonia’s half-sister Bianca has been taking the accusations against her family member very seriously and skips a GP appointment to attend the event at Mitchell’s Autos.

Besides offering her support financially, Bianca also starts publicly accusing Reiss of being the killer.

When he is banned from attending Debbie’s funeral, a sympathetic Martin decides to host a wake at The Vic so Reiss can pay his respects to his dead wife.

But when he starts to read out his eulogy for the woman he murdered, Bianca bursts into the pub, demanding answers.

She tries interrogating him, and when that doesn’t work, she goes on to try a new tactic.

Will Bianca be able to get a confession out of Reiss before it is too late and Sonia gets convicted for a crime she didn’t commit?
