The beloved character was reeling from a knock on the door from a man who purported to be her dad, Terry Cant (Glen Davies).

Fierce Bianca (Patsy Palmer) was insistent that he was a fraud and that Sonia should shut the door on him forever, but there was a glint in his eye that told Sonia otherwise.
