EastEnders killer Reiss Colwell suffers panic attack as police make shock reveal about Debbie’s murder
The killer murdered his comatose wife in cold blood
EASTENDERS spoilers reveal killer Reiss Colwell is set to suffer a panic attack as his secrets bubble to the surface.
Last month, viewers of the BBC soap saw Reiss murder his comatose wife Debbie by smothering her.
In scenes yet to air, Reiss is set to suffer a panic attack as pressure starts to descend on him.
The chain of events begin as he nervously faces the deadline to repay Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
After trying and failing to convince Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) to go for a day out, Phil turns up raging on their doorstep.
Reiss is forced to tell Sonia that he is supposed to pay Phil back today but can’t.
Meanwhile, Teddy (Roland Manookian) and Sharon (Letitia Dean) intervene to cool things down although Sonia is able to buy them time by pleading with Sharon.
However, Teddy decides to take on the debt from Phil, to the surprise of a shocked Reiss – who hopes it’s not too good to be true.
Later, Sonia is worried about her eight-week visibility scan for her and Reiss’ baby.
She is even more rattled when Sharon reveals that Teddy took on the debt, as Reiss hadn’t told her about this.
While at the scan, Sonia confronts Reiss and tells him it’s madness to make a deal with someone they barely know.
After arriving back on the Square, Martin (James Bye) privately warns Reiss that the police have been round asking questions about him and Debbie.
Back at home, Reiss has a panic attack and Sonia tries to calm him down.
They head to The Vic and are enjoying their engagement party, but this is disrupted when the police arrive and arrest both Sonia and Reiss for Debbie’s murder…
It comes as fans have been watching Reiss become increasingly engulfed in debt – while hiding the full extent from Sonia.
In earlier scenes, he stole money from Debbie to help fund IVF treatment for Sonia.
He also targeted the likes of Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Sharon in various scams to scrape cash together.
Will Reiss soon be getting his comeuppance?
EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
