EastEnders icon Jonny Freeman teased the soap fate of a much-loved character on the BBC programme, amid a major murder twist. The actor spoke to a publication recently and broke silence on his character’s exit rumours. We know that Reiss smothered his comatose wife, Debbie, before allowing his pregnant fiancee, Sonia, to take the fall for it. Sonia didn’t commit the crime but she was unaware that her partner was the one who did it.
Ever since then, Bianca Jackson has been determined to prove that Reiss is the killer, and she finally found evidence. But, Reiss tried to attack Bianca last week in his secret storage unit, with fans fearing she’d been killed off. It was soon revealed that Bianca is still alive and is held captive in a sound-proof unit. For obvious reasons, Walford residents will start worrying about Bianca’s disappearance.
