EastEnders has revealed that viewers will get an update on Bianca Jackson this month, as Reiss Colwell’s secret plot continues.
Bianca hasn’t been seen on screen since November, when she found out the truth about Debbie’s murder and confirmed her suspicions that Reiss is the culprit, not her half-sister Sonia.
But Reiss resorted to desperate measures to keep Bianca quiet and led her to a nearby lock-up under false pretences. He has been holding her captive there ever since and plans to do so until after Sonia’s murder trial.
This trial will begin in next week’s scenes, and when Reiss goes to visit Sonia beforehand, she makes it clear that she needs Bianca’s support in court – unaware that Reiss is holding her hostage.
Reiss’s actions mean that Sonia’s trial gets adjourned, and new advanced spoilers released by the BBC show that later this month, he makes a situation even worse.
It hasn’t been confirmed just when viewers will see Bianca again, but in scenes that will air on Tuesday, January 21, she “makes a desperate plea”, before Reiss later “takes advice from an unlikely source”.
Will Bianca be able to escape Reiss’s clutches and save Sonia from being sent down for a murder she didn’t commit?
