SHOCKING NEWS!!! EastEnders confirms dramatic murder arrest for Sonia and Reiss

EastEnders has confirmed that Sonia Fowler and Reiss Colwell will be arrested for Debbie’s murder next

week.

Reiss has been in a desperate financial situation in recent weeks, and last month he took deadly action

and killed his comatose wife Debbie in the care home.

Since then, he has had to face Debbie’s parents, with her mum Brenda being convinced that he is putting on an act.

He also convinced Sharon about a fake investment scheme – so he could get cash to pay for Debbie’s care fees – but he now faces the wrath of Phil as the deadline approaches for him to pay him back double.

In scenes that will air next week, Phil’s final deadline for the money arrives and Reiss is feeling anxious.

To take his mind off things, he asks Sonia to go for a day out, but she refuses – while she is happy to hear that Kathy wants to throw them an engagement party.

Time runs out and a furious Phil turns up at the door, and Reiss must tell Sonia that he had to pay him back his money by today but isn’t able to.

Teddy and Sharon get involved to calm the situation, and Sonia buys Reiss some more time by pleading with Sharon.

But in an unexpected twist, Teddy decides to take on Phil’s debt, and a shocked Reiss shakes on a deal that feels too good to be true.

Sonia is concerned about her eight-week viability scan for her pregnancy, and she has more to worry about when Sharon tells her about Teddy’s offer.

Sonia confronts Reiss at the scan, annoyed that he didn’t tell her, and says it is madness to strike a deal with someone he barely knows.

But the couple soon have more pressing concerns, as back on the Square, Martin tells Reiss that the police have called round to ask questions about him and Debbie.

Scared about what this means, Reiss has a panic attack at home, and Sonia manages to calm him down – while remaining in the dark about what he has done.

They head to The Vic to enjoy their engagement party, but it isn’t long before the police arrive. Pictures released last week show Sonia and Reiss getting arrested, but the soap has now confirmed that it is for Debbie’s murder.

In dramatic scenes, the pair are questioned by the detectives, who reveal that they have physical evidence that Debbie was killed.

Has Reiss been caught, and will clueless Sonia be punished as well?
