Fans of EastEnders have predicted that Reiss Colwell might have a sinister motive in his romantic pursuit of Sonia and their relationship. He says that he wants to have children with Sonia, but fans aren’t convinced that he might still be up to something.
Is Reiss hiding something from Sonia? If so, what does he have planned?
Reiss reveals fertility secret to shocked Sonia
Reiss joined EastEnders as Dot Cotton’s grand-nephew. He quickly grew close to Sonia, but ghosted her shortly after they slept together.
After a tumultuous period of dating, Sonia learned that Reiss is, in fact, married. However, his wife – named Debbie – is on a coma, with little-to-no-chance of recovery.
The soap recently revealed that Reiss is infertile and unable to have children of his own. This came out amidst a pregnancy scare for Sonia, in which he thought she had cheated on him.
In last night’s episode, Reiss came clean about his inability to conceive. He then told Sonia he wanted them to try for children – and suggested that they go for IVF.
EastEnders fans reveal mistrust of Reiss
However, some fans don’t entirely trust Reiss. Writing on Twitter as the episode aired, a number of fans shared their mistrust of their character.
“I still say Reiss is lying about what happened to Debbie,” wrote one fan, of Reiss’s comatose wife.
