Viewers are furious she could take the rap for her fiance Reiss Colwell smothering his ex-wife to death.
But as the residents of Walford process the news, it appears EastEnders took a swipe at Coronation Street in a recent scene.

Kathy jokingly then replied: "We'd all be wearing 'Free Sonia' t-shirts by now."
