EastEnders fans demand 'fantastic' character returns full-time after brutal threat to Reiss
EastEnders enthusiasts had quite the dramatic moment on Wednesday (August 14) when Debbie Colwell's parents made quite the stormy comeback.
It was far from celebrations at Sonia Fowler and Reiss Colwell's engagement bash, which spiralled into mayhem as parents Brenda and Hugh Collins recoiled in horror upon seeing a pregnant Sonia sporting an engagement sparkler that belonged to their daughter lying in a coma.
Soap followers are clued up on Debbie's tragic fate: aside from being struck down by a crippling stroke, she fell victim to murder at the hands of Reiss, who found himself drowning in debt with a baby on the way with Sonia.
A tormented Brenda challenged Reiss about the jewellery choice, pressing him with the line: "What did you do, nip it off her finger in the mortuary?"
He conceded that he'd cherished feelings for Debbie all this time. Brenda, consumed by grief and scorn, countered with fury: "So in love that she's not even cold in the ground and you've emptied her bank account and you're getting engaged. What sort of monster are you?"
Reiss attempted to hush the escalating quarrel away from Lauren, Martin, Jack, Amy, and Ricky's attentive ears, but he only provoked Brenda's wrath more, reports the Express.
As Brenda berated Reiss for committing to another whilst looting their dead daughter's savings, Sonia let slip about Reiss's dire financial straits.
Explaining the ugly truth, Sonia said: "It's not like that, Reiss has been in a bit of a mess financially but he's going to pay it all back once the life insurance comes through."
Irate Brenda lashed out, stating Sonia and Reiss wouldn't get a penny of Debbie's life insurance.
She took it up a notch by threatening police action, despite pleas from Reiss who claimed she got it wrong.
Brenda threw down the gauntlet with a scathing remark: "You're a money-grabbing leech."
Signalling her intent to take legal steps, Brenda's move spells potential doom for the duo.
Viewers of EastEnders promptly hit social media to back Brenda's tough approach towards Reiss, as one fan tweeted: "Brenda ripping Reiss apart. She doesn't trust him. Little does she know Reiss did kill Debbie. #EastEnders." (sic)
Another fan praised: "Make her a regular character she's fantastic Brenda #EastEnders." (sic)
A third supporter exclaimed: "Yes Brenda! #eastenders." With another urging: "Bring Brenda on full time please #EastEnders." (sic)
EastEnders airs Monday - Thursday on BBC One and iPlayer.
