EastEnders fans think Reiss Colwell will feature in an identity twist, amid theories his wife Debbie will wake from her coma. Reiss, played by actor Jonny Freeman, debuted on the BBC soap in 2022 as the great-nephew of soap legend Dot Branning. He debuted after her death and soon arrived in Walford, before striking up a romance with Sonia Fowler.

Along the way he's caused plenty of drama, including his money issues leading to him stealing money from his own wife Debbie Colwell. Viewers first met Debbie a year ago, when Reiss was seen visiting her in a care home. It was revealed that Debbie had been in a coma ever since she suffered a stroke , with her requiring full-time care.



Just months ago we saw Reiss steal money from Debbie's savings account to fund his and Sonia's IVF treatment, with Walford residents recently finding this out. Since then his money issues have worsened and he can't pay Debbie's care fees amid his debts , with them spending more money on IVF treatment. But something viewers have long suspected of Reiss is that he could be scamming residents.

From the very start fans were confused at Reiss never being mentioned by Dot, as some wondered if he was after her inheritance. Sonia was left Dot's house in the will, and fans wondered if Reiss was after this. Months and months have passed since then with him seeming to really care for Sonia, but his recent money woes have sparked theories again that he might be a con artist.

Some viewers are even speculating Reiss .
