EastEnders spoilers: Furious Sonia Fowler returns to Walford to confront Louise Mitchell about daughter Bex’s bullying hell

SONIA Fowler is returning to EastEnders and she is furious.

The nurse - who is played by actress Natalie Cassidy  - has been absent for several months after landing her dream job in Kettering, but she returns to Walford to help daughter Bex cope with her bullying hell.

Concerned Sonia does her best to get through to Bex and after pushing her for information, she learns an upsetting truth - that Bex's so-called friend Louise has been involved in the bullying.

Furious at the news Louise has been helping bullies Alexandra and Madison terrorise her daughter, Sonia blows her top and confronts Louise about it at the Square's Easter fayre.

The row becomes heated, and the other residents become aware of what Louise has done to Bex.

Bex's dad Martin, having heard what has happened, is horrified and returns home to comfort a distraught Bex over the incident.

As Martin looks after Bex, Sonia becomes determined to solve things for her daughter and heads to the school to speak to the teachers about the bullying.

Meanwhile Louise is mortified when the truth about her involvement in Bex's bullying comes to light leaving Sharon to give her a harsh reality check about her actions.

She speaks to her step-daughter in the kitchen and makes it crystal clear that she's disgusted in her behaviour.

Trying a different tack, Sharon later sits Louise down for an emotional chat and encourages her to apologise to Bex even though Louise realises it's too late.

Sonia later returns to the school and Louise realises she has to say sorry to Bex.

Later in the week Sharon and Michelle try to get the girls to repair their friendship at the allotments and Louise continues to try to apologise but will Bex forgive her?
