A new arrival left Sonia Fowler reeling in EastEnders tonight (Monday, April 14), as her estranged father, Terry Cant, arrived in town. Having heard about what the family had been through due to Bianca’s podcast, Terry was there to reach out to his daughter.
Approaching Bianca first, he was undeterred when she tried to send him packing. And, as he turned up on the doorstep that evening, Terry introduced himself to a flabbergasted Sonia.
Who is Terry Cant on EastEnders – and what does he want?
Terry Cant is Sonia’s father – an ex-boyfriend of Carol Jackson, and father figure to Bianca and Robbie. He fled Walford soon after Sonia was born, leaving Carol to raise their daughter alone. Years later, a man claiming to be Terry arrived in Walford, seeking to reunite with his family.
However, this had actually been Rocky Cotton, in a scheme to get Dot’s inheritance money. Rocky ultimately came clean and made bonds of his own on Albert Square.
With Rocky now in prison and his daughter in deep trouble, the real Terry has returned. But with Sonia’s exit from Walford imminent, what happens next?
