EastEnders viewers have spotted a big error in a scene with Sonia Fowler tonight, as she returned to Walford after visiting Whitney and Bianca in Milton Keynes
EastEnders fans have noticed a huge blunder in a new scene with Sonia Fowler.
Sonia returned back to Walford following Whitney’s accident, with Zack Hudson also heading back to the Square to earn more money ahead of the arrival of his and Whitney’s baby. As Zack settled back into the Square, Sonia meanwhile was busy looking after Lily’s daughter Charli whilst she finished a school project but her yearning to have a baby of her own is clearly weighing heavy on her.
Speaking to baby Charli in the scene, she said: “My Bex used to like Bargain Hunt. Course, it was David Dickinson back then, not this new bloke. But I think you’ve got very good taste. See? It ain’t so bad is it?
“You know the best ones are the ones you don’t expect. They all go for gold and silver, but it ain’t worth much any more. Teaspoons, an old pot but every now and again, someone makes a fortune out of an old coat rack, just teaches you doesn’t it?”
Sonia then got tearful, as she reflected on her own fertility journey, adding: “Life doesn’t always go to plan. You’ve just got to hope it turns out right in the end. See I’m doing it now, we’re a right pair aren’t we?”
However, fans were left distracted after noticing that Sonia was not in fact watching Bargain Hunt but was watching Flog It.

One fan wrote: “Bit of an error in today’s #EastEnders. Sonia taking about watching #BargainHunt with Becks, when it is clearly #FlogIt on the TV,” as a second added: “Sonia that is a very old episode of Flog It.” A third person penned on Twitter : “Lovely little Sonia moment on today’s #EastEnders. Followed by “Home. To watch Bargain Hunt!”
Some fans are convinced that Sonia might have something to do with Whitney’s exit storyline after she was injured in the car crash. Whilst she seems fine now, fans are worried she might end up not being OK.
One fan wrote: “Definitely getting the vibe that the baby will survive somehow and Sonia will adopt it, was very random of all the Sonia talk and then she suddenly pops up out of nowhere,” whilst a second added: “I think Whitney will go into a coma and Sonia will have her baby otherwise I don’t get Sonia being part of this storyline.”
EastEnders fans were left furious this week and have urged the BBC to apologise to the residents of Milton Keynes after the soap is claimed to have portrayed the area to be rundown and crime-ridden.
In a two-part special, the soap saw the return of Bianca Jackson (played by Patsy Palmer) and introduced her downbeat life in Milton Keynes, but her arrival back onto the soap was overshadowed by the backlash it received over the filming location.
Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) visited her adoptive mother to reveal the news that she was pregnant, but became concerned when she arrived in the area with rundown buildings, vandalism and litter – alongside drug runner teens and negligent parents.
Palmer’s character was seen opening a near-empty fridge, living off of reduced milk, whipped cream and margarine, whilst also providing the bare minimum for the neglected children on the estate.
Milton Keynes residents were left furious to see this was how their city was being portrayed and slammed the BBC for “ruining our beautiful home”.
The storyline and its location also reached Parliament as Milton Keynes North MP Ben Everitt admitted he was “disappointed” in the BBC.

He told the House of Commons: “Milton Keynes is a beautiful, vibrant city that is going places – to everyone except perhaps, the producers of last night’s EastEnders.
“Like many across Milton Keynes, I was disappointed to see how the BBC soap opera depicted our great city.
“The producers’ characterisation doesn’t show the real Milton Keynes and they owe an apology to residents for this negative portrayal.
“We get it’s fiction, but the BBC is a national broadcaster and has to show it accurately. There are people that accept MK is the butt of the joke. However, we need to rise above the political opportunism and champion MK as the great city it is.”
During his speech, Everitt noted there has been 136 deaths in Albert Square since 1985 and asked why someone would want to live somewhere “tarnished with tragedy”.
“If I were Bianca, I too would move out of Albert Square. Since 1985 the 15 residential housed square has seen over 136 deaths.
“If producers have to find places in London to depict a fictitious portrayal of ‘gritty’ MK, then they’re having a laugh.”
EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw has come under fire from fans of the show who live in Milton Keynes as many have claimed the scenes were not filmed in the town at
