In today’s episode – that is now available to watch on iPlayer – Sonia Fowler discovered her latest round of IVF was successful – and she’s pregnant with Reiss’ baby.

Meanwhile Reiss found out that comatose wife Debbie was about to be turfed out of her care home after he stole the cash to fund the IVF.

And he was set to scam Sharon Watts for the cash to catch-up but bottled it at the last minute.

As Reiss walked into the house ready to confess all to Sonia, he was taken aback by her standing in the kitchen.

“Sorry I should’ve waited for you to do it,” Sonia said brandishing her freshly dipped pregnancy test.

“We’re going to have a baby!”

Reiss looked stunned and told her: “Everything’s going to be alright… I promise.”

Later Sonia asked him what he wanted to tell her earlier but Reiss brushed her off and said it was nothing important.

Distracted Sonia began gushing about tiny baby growing inside her and getting excited over the full pregnancy.

“I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves,” she said before reeling off a list of expensive things she wants to buy, pushing Reiss over the edge.

He obviously said the wrong thing and told Sonia: “We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves.

“We had a positive result before and look what happened…”

He carried on sucking all the joy from Sonia, leading to her hitting back: “Why do you do that? Pour cold water over everything…

“The most wonderful thing that can happen to anyone, and you shove me over a cliff. Money money money, it’s all you ever think about. Why can’t you just be happy for once?”

Reiss finally confessed about the money owed to the care home – and Sonia was devastated.

It forced him to take action and he went to speak to Sharon, telling her she owed £13k after all – and she needed to pay it.READ MORE SUN STORIES

THE beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.

“I’m going to need you to transfer the funds into the business account and I’ll take care of the rest,” he told her and she agreed.

But what will Sharon do when she discovers the truth?
