EastEnders has aired a dramatic clash between Bianca Jackson and Sonia Fowler, in the show’s latest episode.
Bianca and Sonia have been trying to rebuild their lives after Reiss Colwell’s death and the pain he subjected them both to – including Bianca’s kidnap and Sonia’s prison stint.
While Sonia has been busy with her new baby Julia, Bianca has faced her own struggles and is experiencing panic attacks when recalling what she has been through.
This wasn’t helped by Mo’s suggestion that she was responsible for Martin’s death, but Kat managed to cheer her up by reminding her of her strength.
In today’s episode, Bianca promised to clean the house and to pick Sonia up from the hospital later. George and Elaine told her that Kojo would be happy to help her tidy up if she took him to Beale’s Eels afterwards.
The pair finished cleaning, but when Kojo wanted to get lunch, Bianca made excuses as to why they shouldn’t go out. When she tried to leave the house, she got overwhelmed and changed her mind.
They instead had an emotional chat in the house and Bianca opened up about her panic attacks, but Sonia came home and was furious that her sister hadn’t collected her from the hospital.
Kat later paid Bianca a visit and realised that she was scared of going outside. She encouraged her friend to be honest and tell Sonia that she was struggling.
Bianca took her advice and reached out, explaining to Sonia that she was finding it hard to move on from Reiss. However, Sonia wasn’t very understanding of her ordeal and argued that she had been through a lot too.
Tensions grew between the sisters, and Bianca told Sonia that she should have listened to her concerns about Reiss months ago, blaming her for what has happened.
As the row escalated, Sonia slapped Bianca before storming out of the house. Is there a way back for the warring sisters?
