EASTENDERS fans are ridiculing the Sonia blackmail plot as the hit-and-run victim manages to indentify her based on the fact she's dating a "Martin".

Viewers were shocked when Martin accidentally ran over a passerby and left him for dead in the street.

The guilty market stall holder came clean to Sonia, who eventually tracked down the victim - George - in the hospital she works at.

However, things manage to get worse as George wakes up from his coma.

While Martin might be relieved he hasn't murdered anyone, the victim manages to connect Sonia to the Martin who hit him.

He then demands £10,000 from her.

Sonia might be panicked about the situation, but fans have ridiculed the plot - as George has no real way of connecting Sonia to Martin.

One person said: "Sonia must be pretty scared. If she doesn't pay up, this bloke who has just come out of a coma will go to the police and say, 'I've just been knocked down by a hit and run driver who I think might have been called Martin, and a nurse at the hospital where I was treated knows someone called Martin'".

Another added: "He was very bad, how the fudge can Sonia be scared of him?!?"

A third said: "How has that div in the hospital bed clocked about martin? FS! Sonia's gonna have to pull £10k out of her jaxie now!"

Life started to look up for Martin and Sonia as the pair restarted their romance.

The pair kept it secretly, though later on Khush finds out they are together again.

But Martin's dark lifestyle is catching up with him as he was embroiled in the plot to kill Keanu Taylor.

The truth behind that plot is about to be revealed - which means more heartbreak for Martin Fowler.
