EastEnders viewers said they had witnessed the reunion of 2018 when Sonia’s trumpet made a return.
Sonia (Natalie Cassidy), who made her first appearance in the BBC soap in 1993, started learning the instrument as a child and played for years.
The trumpet has come up many times over the years but has not been mentioned lately, so fans were thrilled to see it make a brief return on Monday night.
One person wrote on Twitter: “The greatest comeback in showbiz history just happened….welcome back, Sonia’s trumpet.”
“Quite possibly the best reunion of 2018: sonia and her trumpet,” said another.
One viewer teased: “Sonia on her trumpet ‘I forgot I ever had that.’
“We didn’t Sonia, I remember when the whole nation switched off #Eastenders whenever you blew into that thing.”
Another viewer said the trumpet’s return was “a MOMENT”.
EastEnders continues on BBC One.
