The first time Sonia Jackson (played by Natalie Cassidy) gave birth back in 2000, she didn't even realise she was pregnant with her daughter, Bex, on EastEnders! (7:30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
On tonight's special LIVE episode of the BBC soap, screening as part of the 40th Anniversary celebrations, pregnant Sonia is due to give birth again.
However, the circumstances are far from ideal.
Not only is Sonia's killer fiance, Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman), the father of her unborn child.
But Sonia finds herself going into labour during explosive events at the Vic during the wedding celebrations of Billy (Perry Fenwick) and Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton).
With no medical support on hand and only two traumatised people close to lend a helping hand, will both Sonia and her baby make it out alive?
Meanwhile, family and friends anxiously wait for news about those still trapped in the Vic following the wedding day explosion.
As the Emergency Services arrive on the scene, there's a race against time to save the remaining residents before the damaged building collapses...
The terrible turn of events lead Denise Fox (Diane Parish) to realise it's time for her to decide WHO the man of her future is.
Will it be ex-husband, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).
Or bad boy lover, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara)?
Which of Denise's two suitors will get a knock on their door that changes everything?
For the first time ever, EastEnders viewers can vote to decide the outcome of an ongoing storyline.
