Fans of EastEnders have slammed Reiss Colwell as he sunk to a new low in last night’s episode of the soap. This came in the wake of wife Debbie’s death – a death that Reiss had brought about by unplugging her life support.
As the news broke, Reiss visited Debbie in the morgue to say goodbye. Alone with his dead wife, Reiss bade Debbie farewell… and then took the opportunity to pocket her wedding ring.
The murder was one thing, but for many fans, this was a step too far.

Writing on EastEnders as the episode aired last night (Monday, July 29), fans of the soap slammed Reiss for his latest move.

“Did Reiss just steal that ring from Debbie while saying he should’ve been there for her? It has to be a family heirloom worth a lot of money,” said another.
