Thank you to Chris Clenshaw for the opportunity to be such a big part of the 40th anniversary – it's an honour.
The news has left soap fans reeling, with one fan saying: "Oh, this is sad." While another lamented: "Just confirmed:- Natalie Cassidy is leaving as Sonia Fowler during the 40th anniversary week. They can't kill her off."
