EastEnders is set for explosive scenes next week on the BBC One soap as a new Debbie twist is set to be revealed as Reiss Colwell is exposed

EastEnders’ Reiss Colwell will find himself exposed next week while a twist involving his estranged wife Debbie is revealed.

Only recently on the BBC One soap, Reiss has embarked on another IVF attempt with girlfriend Sonia Fowler after the nurse found out he had been using his comatose wife Debbie’s money to fund the treatment. Sonia’s sister Bianca Jackson uncovered the truth as she tracked Reiss down and found him by Debbie’s bedside in hospital after discovering he had tried to scam Kat Slater and Jay Brown in vain to gather the funds necessary for his other half.

Viewers will recall that Reiss eventually admitted to Sonia what he had been up to and after initial reluctance, the nurse was then convinced by Kathy Beale to give her beau some credit and the couple agreed to give things another shot… with the rest of Debbie’s money in hand. EastEnders viewers have been left wary of Reiss, speculating that Debbie’s coma could have been the result of his own actions.

And in upcoming scenes, things take another worrying turn when a nervous Sonia heads in for her embryo transfer and Reiss takes a call saying Debbie’s care fees are three months overdue, leaving the accountant stressed. Later in the week, Reiss is left even more anxious as he looks at an £18,000 bill for Debbie’s care fees.

In a quick bid to generate cash, he goes behind Sonia’s back and decides to rent the spare room to get some money. However, Reiss is soon caught by Sonia and she’s not happy to learn he’s been lying. This forces Reiss to open up about his money worries to which Sonia reassures him, pointing out they will find a way but getting a lodger isn’t the way forward. Later, Reiss is thrown a lifeline when Sharon offers him some work chasing her outstanding invoices.

Feeling desperate, Reiss decides to use some creative accounting to line his pockets while calling in the money Sharon’s owed. However, the accountant feels terrible and guilty when Sharon gives him his pay, plus a bit extra for doing the job at such short notice. Later, at home, Reiss again lies to Sonia that he has enough to pay Debbie’s care fees. How will Reiss pay off £18,000 and will he resort to more desperate measures?
