EastEnders: Reiss murder secret to come out on Sonia wedding day, a new fan theory predicts

The truth will out

Fans of EastEnders have predicted that Reiss Colwell’s murderous secret could be exposed on his wedding day. This week’s episodes saw Reiss give in to desperation and kill wife Debbie, sneaking out of the care home after doing the dastardly deed.

As news of Debbie’s death spread around Walford, Sonia stuck by her man – even as Debbie’s parents learned that he had been funding their IVF journey with money intended for their daughter’s care.

As Sonia joked about how she and Reiss should marry, he got the wrong end of the stick – and proposed, for real. To add insult to injury, he did so with Debbie’s ring, which he had taken from her freshly dead finger.

In spite of her doubts, Sonia was quick to accept.

Fans think that the storyline could now unfold in typical soap fashion – with Reiss’s secret coming out on his wedding day.
