1. Martin will die

One popular theory is that Martin Fowler will die and this will prompt Sonia to leave Walford for a fresh start.

With the soap’s 40th anniversary coming up, fans are fearing for Martin’s life. With Martin’s family being mentioned recently, and with the character celebrating a premature 40th birthday himself last year, fans are worried this has all been foreshadowing his upcoming death.

After hearing the news of Sonia’s exit, one fan wondered: “Makes me wonder if they actually are gonna kill Martin off now. Would be a massive mistake if they did tbh.”
