EastEnders character 'already looks guilty' in horrifying Walford murder twist

EastEnders has thrown a curveball for Reiss Colwell, who is contemplating killing his wife Debbie. The character, portrayed by Johnny Freeman, has been fraught with anxiety lately due to financial strains.

After kindling a romance with Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), Reiss began dipping into his comatose wife Debbie's savings to finance their IVF treatment.

However, as the money dwindles, Reiss is being pressured to cover Debbie's care costs or face her eviction from the facility. Debbie needs constant care following a stroke, and both Reiss and Sonia have committed to her care.

Earlier this week, Sonia revealed she was pregnant, but Reiss' initial happiness quickly faded as he fretted over supporting a family and Debbie while debts pile up, reports the Daily Star.

In a bid to make quick cash, he started conning Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), alleging she owed over £13k in tax so he could pay the care fees. But on Wednesday's visit to the Square (July 24), Reiss took a sinister turn. After assuring Sonia that he expects funds in his account to cover Debbie's fees, the mum-to-be felt more hopeful.

While strolling through the market, she paused to chat with ex-husband Martin (James Bye) and vented about the burden of Debbie's care home expenses.

"If she slipped away it wouldn't be a bad thing", she said. "The care home fees are crippling us."

Martin watched uncomfortably as Sonia realised how insensitive she sounded about Debbie's health condition, and feeling remorseful, she decided to visit Debbie. Later in the episode, Sonia made a decision to sell her inherited house from Dot Cotton to clear her and Reiss's debt.

Meanwhile, after another visit from Sharon and a face-off with Phil (Steve McFadden), an overwhelmed Reiss decided to visit Debbie again.

Reiss broke down, talking about his mounting debt and his wish for Debbie to communicate with him instead of living a 'pitiful, pointless half life'. In an attempt to alleviate his guilt, Reiss told Debbie that if she passed away, he could start afresh.

Not wanting to lose Sonia and their newborn, Reiss stood up, removed a pillow from behind Debbie's head and gave her a forehead kiss.

As he prepared to smother her, Reiss cried and looked down at Debbie. Will he go through with it? Or will his conscience stop him? Considering Sonia's earlier conversation with Martin where she wished Debbie dead, could she be framed for the murder?

EastEnders will continue on Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
