😱 SHOCK RETURN in EastEnders! Unexpected Face Arrives for Reiss’ Funeral! 💔

As Walford prepares for Reiss Colwell’s funeral next week, an unexpected return shakes things up. Reiss met his end in a shocking twist when a bathtub fell on him following the Queen Vic explosion last month—an ironic fate for a man whose sinister crimes had finally caught up with him. Over the past year, Reiss had smothered his comatose wife Debbie to death, framed his fiancée Sonia Fowler for the murder, and even held Bianca Jackson hostage when she uncovered the horrifying truth.

Following Debbie’s tragic passing, viewers were introduced to her grieving parents, Brenda and Hugh Collins, with Brenda quickly becoming a fan favorite due to her sharp tongue and deep-seated hatred for Reiss. Now, she’s making an emotional return to Albert Square just as Sonia grapples with the aftermath of recent events. Struggling to process everything, Sonia has made the tough decision to skip Reiss’ funeral, which is scheduled for Thursday. Despite the best efforts of Bianca and Kathy Cotton to convince her otherwise, Sonia remains firm in her decision.

However, Sonia is left speechless when she hears an unexpected knock at No. 25—it’s Brenda! The two women share a heartfelt and emotional conversation about everything that has transpired. But will Brenda offer Sonia the closure she so desperately needs, or does she still harbor suspicions that Sonia played a role in Debbie’s death?

Meanwhile, another funeral is looming over Albert Square. Preparations are underway for Martin Fowler’s send-off following his tragic death in the wake of last month’s explosion. His loved ones are at odds over how to honor him, with tensions rising. Jean Slater, overcome with grief, continues to shut out her partner Harvey Monroe, who in turn finds himself growing closer to Kathy. He even encourages her to take charge of the catering for the wake. However, it turns out that Ruby Allen has already arranged for someone else to handle the food, adding yet another layer of tension to the situation.

With emotions running high, will Martin receive the farewell he truly deserves? As the Square prepares to say goodbye, familiar faces start to return. It has already been confirmed that Bex Fowler will be making a comeback to bid farewell to her father. But she won’t be arriving alone—Martin’s niece Vicky Fowler is also set to return, and she’s bringing a surprise guest with her!
