Bex’s mum Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) and aunt Bianca (Patsy Palmer) are thrilled when she arrives at No.25 for a family reunion.
It’s Bex’s first chance to meet her new baby sister, Julia.
But when Bex asks her mum to accompany her to the undertakers ahead of Martin’s funeral, an overcome Sonia can’t bring herself to go…
Is there another reason that Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) has come back to Albert Square, besides the funeral of her uncle Martin?
