Reiss arrived in EastEnders as a distant relative of Dot’s, first appearing as the Square said goodbye to Dot at her funeral.
Last night (Thursday January 26, 2023), Reiss vowed to help Sonia with her inheritance tax despite previously telling her that he couldn’t do anything.
Now, EastEnders fans are loving Reiss and are demanding that he stays, plus pleading with the soap not to make him evil.
EastEnders: Reiss has feelings for Sonia
Reiss is the great-nephew of Dot Branning.
He first arrived in Walford to pay his respects to Dot after she passed away.
This week, after learning that she must pay an inheritance tax on Dot’s house, Sonia turned to Reiss for help.
However, he told her that he couldn’t help her.
Yesterday, Reiss changed his mind and decided to help Sonia, going full on “Martin Lewis.”
He revealed that Sonia didn’t need to pay the tax due to a legal loophole.
This meant that Sonia could stay in the house.
Celebrating the news, Sonia and Reiss joined each other in a music session, blowing into their trumpets.
Afterwards, the pair shared a bottle of fizz with Sonia asking Reiss if she could kiss him.
Reiss shared a very quick kiss with Sonia before rushing off, awkwardly saying “toodle-pip” as he took off.
Fans are loving Reiss’ humorous yet loveable personality.
