fans have predicted the next serial killer on the soap - and it’s bad news for Sonia Fowler. Reiss, played by Jonny Freeman, made his first soap appearance in 2022. As the late Dot Branning's great-nephew, Reiss quickly got settled into life on the square.
He also started a relationship with soap legend Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy). The pair were desperate to have a child but faced several hurdles - including Reiss’ infertility. What’s more, in a tragic twist it was revealed last year that Reiss’ wife was hospitalised in a long-term coma.
At first, Sonia was taken aback by dating a technically married man. But she soon changed her tune. The soap icon then started a romance with Reiss.
And longing to have a baby, and despite a long wait, Sonia and Reiss managed to get IVF with Sonia undergoing treatment. Sonia didn’t know though that Reiss had stolen the money from Debbie’s account to fund the IVF. The pair were dealt good news though when Sonia found out she was pregnant.
But in a devastating twist, last week, Sonia was rushed to hospital after she started bleeding - and was told she wasn’t actually pregnant. And at the start of this week, Sonia decided she wanted to try again for IVF. However, with no money, Reiss ended up visiting Debbie and told her he was taking more money.
Things turned awkward though when Bianca rocked up gobsmacked at the truth. And in Tuesday’s episode (June 11) Bianca demanded Reiss to tell Sonia the truth which he did - leaving her.
