EastEnders followers worry Dot Cotton can be killed off-screen as Sonia positive factors energy of lawyer
EastEnders fans fear Dot Cotton will be killed off-screen after an off-screen reveal about Sonia Fowler.
On Monday night, Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) announced that she had been given power of attorney for her step-grandmother Dot Cotton (June Brown).
The news came after Sonia rowed with Dot’s biological granddaughter Kirsty “Dotty” Cotton (Milly Zero) about their betrayal at Ruby’s nightclub and Sonia’s niece, Tiffany Butcher-Baker (Maisie Smith), implicated in their plans.
Dotty pointed out that Sonia herself had stolen money from her grandmother Dot, but Sonia revealed that Dot now knew the truth, had given Sonia and also given her power of attorney.
Dot himself currently lives in Ireland with her grandson Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett) and young son Matthew, whom he shared with the late Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack).

Elsewhere, a BBC One viewer said, “Dressing ol Sonia like the next point. There will only ever be one point. I miss her # Bringbackdot # EastEnders”.
Finally, one soap buff came to the conclusion: “Well, Dot obviously loosened more than one screw and gave Sonia a POA! #EastEnders”
Well, at least Dot is alive now!
After her last on-screen appearance last year, Brown revealed on the Distinct Nostalgia podcast that she would “never” return to EastEnders.
“I don’t want a henchman for EastEnders, I’ve gone, I’ve gone for good,” she revealed. “I sent her to Ireland where she will stay. I left EastEnders.”

The BBC later said in a statement, “We never discuss artist deals, but for EastEnders the door remains open for June, as it always does when the story comes up and when June wants to participate.”
Last year, Juni’s on-screen son, John Altman, who played Nick Cotton for recurring stays from the first episode in 1985 until the character’s death in 2015, announced that he believed June could be persuaded to return.
He told The Mirror, “If you offered her a really good storyline, she would be tempted. I think that would be the key.
“But she is making progress, bless her and when she is 93 she gets tired easily.”
