Fans of EastEnders have predicted that Reiss Colwell is making a dangerous mistake in trusting Teddy Mitchell – with many wondering whether the newcomer could in fact be a loan shark.
Teddy recently arrived on the Square as the estranged brother of Billy Mitchell. Since then, he and his sons have made themselves at home, much to cousin Phil’s chagrin.
Furious Phil has been taking his frustration out on Reiss of late, pressuring him to pay back the money he stole from Sharon and the boxing gym to put into a fake ‘investment.’
Teddy saves Reiss’s hide
In last night’s episode, Teddy made a deal to take on the debts Reiss owes to Phil. Cash-strapped Reiss and Teddy shook on the deal – but does Reiss know what he is getting into?
After all, worryingly little is known about Teddy aside from his suave demeanor and affinity for over-the-shoulder jumpers.
Has Reiss jumped from the frying pan to the fire?
